Spain and Italy are pleading for European help as they fight still-surging coronavirus infections amid the continent’s worst crisis since World War II. U.S. authorities urged millions in the hard-hit New York City region to stay home.

Experts say, however, that virus toll numbers across the world are being seriously under-represented due to limited testing and political decisions about which bodies to count. Unlike the U.S., France and Italy do not count deaths that take place in nursing homes or in homes among their virus numbers — even though nursing homes are known to be key coronavirus incubators around the world.

Shocking as that is for Americans, that stopped short of the restrictions imposed in Europe or elsewhere. Parisians are fined if they try to leave the city and South Africans can’t even walk their dog or buy liquor. In Italy, coffins are piling up despite three weeks of strict confinement and burials are being held with only one family member.

But the crisis is pummeling world economies and putting huge strains on national health care systems. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for a more vigorous response from the 27-nation European Union. European countries have also resisted sharing masks with their neighbors for fear that they, too, will need them in mass quantities soon. Many countries have turned to China, where the outbreak is easing, flying in cargo planes to get masks and other protective medical equipment.

It says a sneeze or cough from an infected person can expel microscopic virus droplets as far as 7-8 meters away and those droplets can be suspended in the air for hours. The researchers said they wanted to warn the public about “the distance, timescale and persistence over which this cloud and its pathological payload can travel.”

I feel this is a conservative estimate considering the situation and circumstances.

'Urged'?! Since when do NYers listen to what they're asked to do? Total bs! NYers don't listen and rest of country has to pay for it when NYers fan out across the country n infect everyone else. If they were quarantined rest of the country wouldn't have to worry abt it

When will we ever see this stop?

matteosalvinimi is now attacking EU_Commission & wants their help after he declared Make Italy Great Again. The region where the nationalists are concentrated seems the most affected by the pandemic. I’m sure it’s the immigrant community that are keeping them fed under lockdown

Some say this an act of God

These types of equipment should never be exported, nor the jobs to China. They need to continue use to keep their national stockpile up and then replace by rotating it with new ones. Ten per person in their countries should be stockpiled.

How about since the Great Depression.

On Monday Italy will put 400 Million Euros into a fund to help/save their soccer clubs. They also want financial help from the EU👎What about the people😥

The silence is deafening from the EU . 😒 Traitors

Coronavirus has exposed the European Union system as a fraud. Italy had stop flights from China but couldn't stop tourists from entering through EU borders. Now other EU countries like Germany and France won't export emergency medical supplies to them. Divided they fall.

Even the credible ppl are saying don't get tested. Which is wrong, and they know it. It's not the potential victim's fault there's not enough test avail. As soon as a chance present itself get tested. Batten down the hatches before and after, regardless of the outcome...

First 'Spanish flu' imported from China... Now the Chinese Coronavirus... ☠️☠️☠️ I feel sorry for Spain and the world... how many pandemics do we need to learn?

AP is Deep State. This is all bullshit.

Sarcastically, only China provides help.

🙏🙏🙏🙏😥

Why don’t they invoke Article 5 of NATO
