Published Saturday, February 22, 2020 6:21PM ESTCODOGNO, ITALY -- CODOGNO, Italy -- A dozen towns in northern Italy effectively went into lockdown Saturday after the deaths of two people infected with the new virus from China and a growing cluster of cases with no direct links to the origin of the outbreak abroad.
In the town of Codogno, where the first patient identified in the northern cluster was in critical condition, closed supermarkets, restaurants and shops made main street practically a ghost town. The few people out wore face masks, which were coveted items after selling out at pharmacies. "You can get it from anyone," he told reporters. "We can expect to have cases of patients who had no contact" with suspected carriers. While the virus isn't particularly lethal, it can be for the elderly or people with existing conditions, he said.
Lombardy health and welfare ministry chief Giulio Gallera said that region's cases also comprised a traceable cluster,but officials were still stumped about where it originated. `'It doesn't seem to me in this moment for what regards our sector, our fashion week, that there are signs of danger," Carlo Capasa, president of the Italian National Fashion Chamber, told The Associated Press. `'We are tranquil and prudent."

China reports further fall in new virus cases, 118 deathsChina reported a further fall in new virus cases to 889 on Friday as health officials expressed optimism over containment of the outbreak that has caused more than 2,200 deaths and is spreading elsewhere. Are we seriously still believing anything China claims while they have been rounding up and arresting doctors, journalists or anyone who tries to get real information out, while we ignore the messages of those same people risked/gave their lives to report real news? It’s amazing that they actually think we believe their bullshit. The world needs to wake and ostracize them. Rest of the world helping to build up the largest military only to find it in their backyards in a few years
