ROME—When the coronavirus outbreak began in China, a wave of fear and mistrust toward Chinese people swept through Italy. Chinese restaurants couldn’t fill tables, while some Chinese tourists faced abuse on the streets. Italy, alone in Europe so far, banned all direct flights from China.
Now, as Italy combats its own outbreak, it is Italians who are taken aback as others try to avoid or exclude them.
This speaks a lot about humanities today. We have gotten dumber because we only know how to read, but stop way short on thinking.
No wonder, Vatican, Rome!
Speaking of hypocrisy....
V2019N
few days and americans too......
What goes around, comes around.
Well one Rhode Islander came back from Italy and now has the corona virus so
Italians win the prize for the germiest people in Europe!
Infatti alcuni coglioni si sentono offesi, io no, avrei fatto lo stesso e anche di piú pur di difendere la mia Nazione. ✔
🤦♀️
V2019N Well..... the answer to this, is: karma. Don’t treat others badly, because that comes back at ya, 3 fold!
So you're gloating, uh? Have you considered that Italy's fall is going to take down the global economy? Gloat at your peril. And also, look at France: ask yourself if it's realistic that only Italy has so many coronavirus cases in Europe⬇️
V2019N And then we see this:
V2019N Everyone is at risk. The data we have is at least 14 days 'behind' (because of the incubation period) meaning the current number of infections is way way higher. Public Health officials in the US need to be putting in place social distancing measures now.
It should be noted that Italy is the only European country to sign up for China’s Belt and Road Global Expansionist Initiative. With vast majority of Milan’s fashion manufacturing run by the Chinese workers. It appears that Italians got more than they bargained for.
The WSJ argues that the comment section is not related to the press section and that China should not disqualify journalists. If a salesperson from a bad company (harm to you) wants to interview you, would you welcome him because he has nothing to do with the factory?
WSJ, You led mistrust toward Chinese people! You have not apologized to Chinese people yet.
Except they don’t look Oriental!
Wait till U.S. got its share of out break.
Damn Racist ..... Keeping people out of their country so they can be safe .....
Is this journalism or trash?
This is a reminder to all of the people out there courting bigotry as a response to disasters like this that most of the time what goes around really goes around.
What goes around, comes around.
'When the coronavirus outbreak began in China' On or about December 8th... At that time there were approximately 200 cases. So who knows how long before that? So no, we don't trust the Chinese. Thanks for playing 👍
A wealthy north & a poor south, and these existing differences and divisions become inflamed. Sound familiar?
The UN is trying to tear down Italy so the migrant Muslim hordes from Turkey can invade Italy after they dominate Greece. realDonaldTrump SecPompeo this is happening, better watch!
Rubes are rubes in any country.
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.. KARMA ITALY KARMA
اختراع . ( فلتر الوقاية الذكية )
Everyone need to stay in their respective countries UNTIL Covid-19 contained. That is not discriminatory. What is discriminatory, is to only block Iran and China. Block S. Korea & Italy & Iran. Stop the planes. BLOCK every country unto themselves.
But surely Italians understand that's the way it works. Once a group is overwhelmed with a disease/illness, when once clean, it becomes a group worth avoiding. It's just human nature and good sense.
WSJ quit playing this game. It is ugly!
What goes around, comes around.
I dont know sometimes about people. I just dont know. But then others make real good examples but whatever. Snooze you looze
Now, imagine how the Mexicans have felt? Karma works in mysterious ways.😢
Always remember, ‘The Golden Rule’
Is Italian real sick man of Europe now?
I wish the world states could act together. They are late.
Once the entire world is infected maybe that will end racism. We will all have more important things to worry about then
Demonstrating for the racists that it isn't about race, it's about risk.
No one should be treated like this. We should work together to fight with virus.
You should expect the same. If you cant self identify then I cant help you.
JUST AS--SOON Americans will be 'TAKEN ABACK' when we realize that trump would rather LIE to us about the virus crisis-to protect himself from politicial fall out--than to allow EXPERTS to prevent it's spread!! PENCE is THE WORST 'LIER/ScienceDENIER'EVER!--- 'BIGGLY'MISTAKE!!!!!
So Italy/Italians were proven right to distrust China’s communist (“we plan for everything but can’t handle the unexpected”) government’s containment efforts.
swiss Swiss people have done better than elase. Take a school teacher for example.
China must be held responsible and pay reparations
Italy is the most risk country now.
Io sono trattato come un rischio da quando sono nato. Non sono mai stato sorpreso di tutto ciò...non lo è stata nemmeno mia madre.
And do you think this is some kind of divine punishment against Italians? China has created and disseminated this virus, see the numbers!
Racism can be a tricky thing. ItalyCoronavirus
It began in USA！！no bullshit
pot calling kettle black applies?
Obviously Trump’s fault.
China is the sick man of asia and cancer of the world. We are all its victims
Sounds like the Italians should have had more distrust in the Chinese.....
ΙTASLY IS THS MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRY NOW
Sometimes discrimination is the prudent course.
And they wonder why, some things never change with people.
How ironical
An european spreading disease to Nigeria, if reverse was the case we would be seeing vile racism as is the trend in Italy.
I understand that. The threat is real and information is in short. One can only suspect everyone to minimize probability of getting infected.
How about corona beer?
O preconceito, o racismo e a xenofobia tem suas faces. Ninguém esta livre de sofrer isso.
What goes around comes around. Be kind, compassionate, and respectful to everyone.
🙅🏼♀️It’s not racism. It’s being risk adverse.
300 thousand Chinese have Italian passports,they brought coronavirus to Italy.
I smell George Soros! Anyone else Smell Soros?
'Never mind that we're on the precipice of a global pandemic, let's find another way to talk about racism and xenophobia for the eight billionth this year.'
Italians are an African nation! Those extended families and religious sectarianism created weak nonfunctional institutions! While seen them as threat is related of their culture of been Mafia as well mistreatment of Chinese who are more advanced and bigger and richer than them!
Italian should ban every Chinese enter this country at the beginning. If not, that is the consequences😂like Korea , Japan and Iran🙃🙃🙃
Head of WHO says:“Our greatest enemy right now is not the virus itself. It’s fear,rumors & stigma...We do not see evidence as yet that the virus is spreading freely in communities.” When WhiteHouse says something similar they are accused of incompetence & “downplaying”threat
well this is unexpected teaching moment isn't it?
Open border policies make them suspect. Warren is calling for open borders now while this crap is roaming the world. That's real leadership.
Before its outbreak ,several racial assault against Chinese or look like the Chinese,now they’re the worst virus-hit districts of the world ,sounds like the retaliation
That’s so stupid. The only person I’d avoid is someone that just came from Wuhan, or any other infected area.
Important reminder to treat others how you want to be treated!
I México we just got our firsts case , someone from Italy .
What goes around,comes around
Italy unfortunately is a risk first confirmed case of CoV in Brazil was a dude that went vacations on italy sad times
Who created the Thought of the WORD Coronavirus 😇 Virtual Spiritual Tactics Close me to Captivity Uncap I will appear as my Spirit of Truth I Rightfully took back all Spiritual Gifts being SUMMONS ANGEL OF ARMOR AND PROTECTION 😇 GROUNDED FOR JUDGEMENT 😇
The Pope's statement on discrimination against italians: *cough cough*
Typical.
Not racism
We are all waiting for your 'Italy is the incredibly racist and offensive term of Europe' piece.
what goes around comes around。 Virus don't care about human feelings. Hope humans do.
Except there it is called the Cannolivirus
Who’s the patient zero of Italy?
Oh, the irony. The biases. The angst.
Hey!
Well the two happen to be RACIST themselves one wanna be White yes I say it and the other one who sometimes forget that they are number 1 immigrants in many countries
whoops!
lol what did they expect?
When we were in Milan a few weeks ago, the Chinese tours were everywhere, buying luxury goods from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, etc. -those poor Italian retail people!
So what will happen when it hits America? Will the Trump administration handle this correctly? It's hard to break people out of their little bubbles to actually pay attention.
