As northern Italy is ravaged by coronavirus, there's trouble brewing down south

Four weeks into a nationwide lockdown, very few Italians are still singing from their balconies or banging pots and pans in solidarity. Instead, flags were lowered to half-staff this week for the nearly 15,000 coronavirus victims including doctors, nurses and health care professionals who have perished since February 23.

The lockdown, which was originally scheduled to end Friday, April 3, has now been extended to beyond Easter, and Italians from north to south are nearing a breaking point just as the draconian measures have begun to show signs of stopping the spread of Covid-19.Italy's wealthy northern provinces have taken the brunt of the coronavirus outbreak with more than 75% of overall cases and deaths north of Tuscany, in the center of the country, per the Italian Civil Protection agency.

With a huge part of the southern population working in the so-called"black economy" off the books, a whole segment of people lost jobs for which they cannot legally claim unemployment benefits. Those who do have legitimate employment have been given a path to ask for the suspension of some bills, but black economy workers -- of whom there are an estimated 3.7 million, according to ISTAT -- have no such outlet for relief.

Even 1st world countries hv the potential 2 turn into crime infested areas if they r in need.. ie increase in unemployment

China and WHO are responsible WHO

The northern provinces are taking the brunt because the pollution there is as bad as China's pollution. So the people there have lung damage to start with before they get the virus.

Oooh, no no no, there has yet to come...everybody in Italy knows that and actually the government is acting quiet proactively to minimize the spread of the virus, considering the lack of discipline (see photos of the last days where people were in the streets)
