ROME - Coronavirus infections in Italy have not reached their peak, the head of the country’s national health institute said on Friday, the day after more than 6,150 people tested positive and 712 died in single 24-hour period. “We haven’t reached the peak and we haven’t passed it,” the chief of the Superior Health Institute Silvio Brusaferro told a news conference.

However, Brusaferro said there were “signs of a slowdown” in the numbers of people becoming infected, suggesting the peak may not be far away, after which new cases will show a visible downward trend. “When the descent begins, how steep it is will depend on our behavior,” Brusaferro said, referring to how strictly Italians will continue to respect restrictions on movement imposed by a government lockdown.

We are flying blind over here Under realDonaldTrump USA can’t take care of itself sadly let alone help others The United States is not going to be the preeminent power after this is over. I think Americans are going to have to come to grips with the consequences of 'America First' policies that were implemented without global leadership in play.
