Nearly 74,000 people have recovered from it so far, mostly in China.
Still, Ortega opponents criticized the “Love” march. Former health minister and ex-Sandinista guerrilla fighter Mario Sánchez accused the government of “criminal irresponsibility,” La Prensa newspaper reported.Germany will partially close its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and Denmark as it steps up efforts to stem the spread of the new coronavirus.
Germany’s northern neighbour, Denmark, and eastern neighbors Poland and the Czech Republic already closed their own frontiers in recent days.

China, which appears to have turned the corner on its own COVID-19 outbreak, will also be sending medical crews to aid the Italians, Di Maio said.The nation’s top infectious disease expert says he’s trying to get President Donald Trump to stop shaking hands. Starting Sunday, more than 4,700 Walmart and Neighborhood Market locations in the U.S. will be open from 6 a.m. to 11 pm. until further notice.

And nowhere, not one picture of one patient 🧐
ErinWis55578186 I stand in soladarity with Italy ..Our prayers go out to those affected.

I’m so sad.
Next thing that’s gonna spread right up our butt cheeks
This can’t be intentional
368 Italians is not enough to be worth it..
Think about it this is not good
What if this “ Isn’t really what we wanted Again” Again
Someone needs to like go fuckin look into this See what strain this shit is or something ..
What The Fuck isnGoing on Here? ? Do they have a different kind ofnVirus or something?
Italy is so beautiful this time year! I pray for everyone there this can not be easy to live with.
My heart goes out to Italy. May GOD'S BLESSING BE WITH YOU ALL
There shild be no more death
Tajts a lot, hopefully the italians find way to maintain l, control the virus
Shahidmasooddr Slightly od.. China and Iran are claiming USA introduced Covid-19 as a biological weapon and now vaccine developed in USA.. mmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔
PER FAVORE I MUSICISTI CHE VIVONO IN ITALIA, GIOCA LA MUSICA IN TUTTA LA CITTÀ ..
so sad...hope every country can get rid of this virus soon
So sad! 😢
Are they confirmed Covid cases?
If you don’t know the actual amount of carriers, you can’t figure out the death rate. The reason the virus is spreading is because most who have it show no symptoms. They only count the people who show symptoms. Falsehoods like this are irresponsible and spread fear over facts.
dougkammerer Doug, this is fake news, tho, right...
Nice job AP, that will scare em
How does this still happen if they are in lockdown?
This is still dwarfed by our way under reported swine flu pandemic in 09. See, obammie was president and the driveby media had to protect him from any and all critisicm. Taken from John Hopkins website 2009 in AMERICA...60 MILLION INFECTED, 300,000 HOSPITALIZED, 18,000 DEAD.
df is going on. HOW!
Kuyanyiwa
Wow, even the fucking doesn’t know the difference between “its” and “it’s”
H50Europe My prayers are with the people of Italy. My heart is breaking for the awful decisions the drs and health staff are being forced to make and the consequences the families must face.
Tired2Iam Hope people here in the US can stay home from work. StayHomeSaveLives COVID19
Did AP forget how possessives work?
OMG 😟
The fact that Italy has dared to publish these figures shows that its government is willing to face up to the problem. I hope they can achieve better results on the basis of China. I hope Italy will not be vilified and misunderstood like China.
😱
now you find all informations of the virus that China shared you are fake
CAPublicHealth What counts as a coronavirus death? Anyone who tested positive and then later dies. A positive tester who later dies of a heartattack would count as what? Hopefully not a COVID death.
I think china started a preemptive world war
Good reason to leave the EU....they are BASTARDS!!!
Mortality rate is 7.2% ugh
gottaspeakgirl 💔💔💔
Is this the kind of point where precautions, if coming too late, have little effect in helping sliw the virus, as doctors recently have said?
Does anyone believe the manipulated data out of China? After tgey arrested the young doctor and forced him to make a false statement, I never believed their numbers. Italy and others have proven China numbers are false. Poor Italy. Prayers for Italy.
Thank goodness they have free universal healthcare! /s
Should be 'sees its biggest,' not 'sees it's biggest'
This thread is a good testament of what 10 days of difference can do.
Use indian cow urine, Its built strong immunity, And Strong immune kill all bad viruses
意大利加油！中国加油！
O.M.G. R.I.P. 🙏💐🦠😷🕯😭😿👼
Working to achieve “herd immunity” while based on these figures, this carries a fatality rate north of 7%. Crazy times.
luvnewinfo Italy had too many infected immigrants spreading the disease and did not react fast enough. The USA, with Trump leading, has a handle on this.
Hoax says idiots
That's approximately a 10% fatality on day's figure's for fxck sake we need to start isolating here.
🙁
This is so saddening & worrisome, especially as it's not abating despite the lockdown & all. Despite this, Italians keep exporting the virus to other countries of the world, as if on purpose.
How? People are now isolated at home. How are they getting so much testing done. I’m baffled.
That's a bit higher than 2% more like 10% so either the death rate was grossly wrong or they a lot more unreported infected.
gtconway3d A more accurate estimate of cases is deaths x 200. 360,000 actual cases is far closer to reality.
Wow, December the square was packed. It looks like an apocalyptic sight
ZenMaddie I'm confused I thought they quarantined everyone
KarenBoles Holy Christ, they're trying to eliminate the Mafia and kill the Catholic Church.
Jesus Christ
And they’re in lockdown
Never thought I'd see the day when a major media outlet like AP would forget about possessive its.
😳
You're not alone Italy will overcome together.
walegates
You should say known cases. Certain world ‘leaders’ are lying. They’ve avoided transparency since day 1 and their reporting can’t be trusted.
Geezus..
Were praying we find a cure and soon.... Be strong 🇮🇹
sorry for italians but this getting worse day in day out all over the world!!!! what fuck gonna it stop?
Out of all the people who have tested positive, plus the amount of deaths is equal to 13.7%? Although we should assume many more could have/had it that have/had not been tested which makes the % significantly lower? Right? 😟
pamalauriel Pamala. Italy sings
Italy and china both have socialized healthcare. Thank god we live in a country with the best healthcare system it the world
Okay,,, YOU KEEP SAYING THE NUMBER OF DEATHS... HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE DYING , YES I GET THT THEY GET INFWCTED BUT, WHAT KILLED THEM... WHT DOES THE VIRUS DO TO YOU...IS IT INSTANT, IS IT BRAETHING PROBLEMS, THE FEVER GETS TO HIGH, OR WHAT... FACTS ONLY.
Stay Safe Italy 🇮🇹 Big hug and love 💕
Wow
My God.
Naples cab driver Ciro la Motta has been keeping a daily video diary of the Coronavirus lockdown. He would be a great person to interview to learn how ordinary Italians are coping with the loss of their livelihoods and their freedom: COVID19

vkavin007
So isolation isnt working?
This is serious!
I read somewhere that the COVID-19 strain in Italy was different that the one from China, so maybe more lethal?
This is scary !! China never gave the correct figure to the world .. Looking at current scenario , I see the mortality rate between 7-8 % which is more likely to grow. Sending prayers from India .. Hope we all find a solution for this problem .
Or is good news bad for ratings
This is heartbreaking!
That’s a 7.3% death rate for diagnosed cases; higher than the projected 5%.
laurenancrum
Why do news outlets always prefer to use wording like “rose 368 to 1809” to make it seem like the deaths suddenly increased by more than 1000 overnight? Like 368 deaths is still too much, but wtf are you trying to accomplish with this wording? Smh
💔 for all the lives lost in every country.
This is very sad
Dear Leader Trump worried about other things.
Does Italy have an abnormally old population? Just curious, there are many variables to these figures
中国32个省市资源全部供给给湖北省及武汉市，我们其他省份一共向湖北省派驻了4.2万民医生及护士，我们在病毒上升期就做出封城及封锁国境的准备，我想在中国之前世界上任何一个国家都没有这种魄力去做这种封城的决定，中国全国14亿人全部自觉在家隔离14天以上，如果你们也能做到我相信也可以控制住疫情
Just stay home , our jobs are not worth during over , we can’t pay our bills if we’re dead 💀
Italy's lockdown is a colossal failure. End it now and use South Korea's method of mass testing to detect the infected. Clock's ticking before that option becomes impossible.
It’s?!
🙏🙏🙏
Very sad God help them there and God bless the people who died
So quarantine is not working?
DiploWriter It feels like we’re living in a real life version of the video game, Plague Inc.
Expect a lag of up to 2 weeks before the new rules are able to fully start bearing fruit. Many people already sick this last week but unknown. Doesn’t mean policies aren’t working.
JonLemire ... and serious critical cases are 1,672, which are also increasing daily.
Basically 1 out of every 22 people is infected right now (80%+not needing any hospital treatment-but contagious none the less)
This wording is irresponsible with how the numbers are explained
Oh no. 😕. Poor Italy. 🇮🇹 😢
Sad 😢
Wtf a March ?
This is serious
I’m scared
shelleyabc13 This is why Trump doesn't have test kits available, if you don't test you don't have. That allows Trump to claim he's stopping the virus from spreading.
Thank you President Trump for Shutting Down Travel from Europe..... realDonaldTrump
JayCaruso Be interested to know how many people actually died from the virus and how many people died from the virus because they didn’t have enough vents?
With more testing there will be more cases, that’s common sense. Now do a report on how many people has survived this virus. And give the ages of those who hasn’t. If you’re going to report on it, at least give all of the stats, not just the bad ones!
THIS IS ALARMING!!!!! ITALY Coronavirus Stats 3/15/20 03:50 GMT Tot. cases: 24,747 New cases: 3,590 Tot. deaths: 1,809 New deaths: 368 Active cases: 20,603 Tot. recovered: 2,335 Tot. critical: 1,672 % Death: 7.3%(WW = 3.7%) % Recovered: 9.4% Tot./1Mil. pop 409.3 (WW =20.1)
FreeCarnage tweetmytoaster idkwtftodohere
It’s going to be much worse in America. Paycheck to paycheck Americans don’t miss work! They can’t afford to. That means the virus is going to spread at a tremendous rate
I cannot imagine us building a hospital in a week like the Chinese did. Where is this American ingenuity we like to proudly proclaim. We will run out of hospital beds!
This is heartbreaking
How many were comorbid? Would be an important data point.
Yearly flu: Hold my beer Yes the COVID19 is a dangerous virus but at the same time so is the annual flu. This is life. New things scare us but we will learn to adapt and evolve. This is no way near any of the server outbreaks that happened in history. Consider ourselves lucky.
OMG... God, bless Italy please!
gtconway3d Stupid George
DavisHsuSeattle That’s 7.3% death rate (probably less due to the vast amount of unreported cases)...still threatening but not end of the world just be prepared
😱 😢 😭 😡 🤬
OMG!!! If that's the case, then mortality rate will be 7%⬆
God protect us all
So one out of 10
Curious as to why America thinks we won’t have the same numbers. I have seen nothing to suggest otherwise.
Holy fuck
1) US government MUST call a 100% Lockdown TODAY. Every day lost means more American dead and more American hospitals rationing limited ventilators and ICU beds. 2) Don't wait for our gov't, STAY HOME NOW! especially if 60+ or medical condition.
racporter So, do you all European and Americans still insist not to wear the mask?
JayCaruso Now tell America how Italys Government ran healthcare is chosing which people can live and which people can die!!! NoM4A
Are they not all under quarantine like I don’t understand?
Let’s hope there are many, many more unreported total cases. Otherwise the mortality rate is horrific.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 💔
its
😓😓
😢
Your daily reminder of how exponential functions work.
How is this still happening with a lockdown🤔🤷♂️
Can someone explain to me why Italy’s mortality rate is way higher than everywhere else?
What the actual fuck?
Wow. Number of deaths quadrupled in the past 24 hours? This is so sad. 😐
gtconway3d 💔
Someone please check my math, but does that equate to a mortality rate of about 7.5%? That is frightening!
Will do a story on how the Italian gov is denying treatment to the elderly? Those who want medicare for all here need to think twice. Can you imagine your parents or grandparents denied treatment
No one in New York seems to be taking this serious
Devastating. Truly.
Close down NYC!! NYCHealthCommr NYCSpeakerCoJo NYCMayor
gtconway3d It brings tears to my eyes thinking about the plight of the Italian people. Yes, the pandemic is devastating on a global level, but for me, the spread at which this is spreading & killing in Italy touches my heart. I watch them sing as a community from their balconies & I weep.
Koen_Geens1 Italy FedericaMog sees it's biggest one-day increase in coronavirus cases: +3590 cases reported, totals 24747; number of fatalities +368 to 1809. And 1 well-known lawyer, after 1 fax [24 feb 2020], did not take preventive action based on 📄facts and intelligence.
gtconway3d Wowwww look at the glaring typo from AP
In Italy it is a common practice to greet someone with a light kiss on both their cheeks. This holds true even if you are just newly acquainted or if you have known someone for quite a long time. stopkissing COVID19 coronavirus ItalyCoronavirus CoronavirusPandemic
its
OMG I'm so sorry for all of us. One end of the globe to the next. I feel pretty soon, we're all going to know of someone affected by this.
GovLarryHogan shut nonessential businesses down now before this is us
gtconway3d That is 7.3% mortality rate!!!
Italy has 400% more daily deaths but only twice as many active cases than China. That doesn’t make any sense. I don’t believe any of these numbers from other countries
gtconway3d Sad this sucks
gtconway3d Never gonna happen in 🇺🇸. Because greatest country on earth. Or something.
If none of you guys ever been to Italy all these people smoke cigarettes.
gtconway3d And this is AFTER they’ve been on lockdown for week+
Simple home isolation doesnt work. Patients and their families can easily be infected together, resulting in a wider range of infection.
It seems like this is the same headline as yesterday... with larger numbers.
Wow I hope this will not spread around napoli
That's 7.3% mortality rate 😱
Biggest one day increase even with lock down. This is really getting ugly. Stay safe everyone!
