Admirable. Pessimism certainly doesn't lift the spirits.

Écho! Bravissimo questa forza ! un popolo digno che non francese dobbiamo prendre per esempio!

I believe there’s nothing God cannot do there shall be total restoration in Italy and other countries Aman

In Italy including Sardinia and Sicily, Italians have common sense of good humors by waving their flashlights and singing in songs in cheers. Unbelievable!AuriaChrista

And in Spain

OdysseusIthake I ❤️ 🇮🇹

They seem really worried abt the virus

Humanity’s spirit is strong in Italy. 🇺🇸💙🇮🇹 I see hope for humanity. This too shall pass. 🌻 StayHome StayAtHomeChallenge

Not us because of those Damn Dems!!!!!

Dejemos de aplaudir y ser emotivos, pongámonos de rodilla y pidamos al Todopoderoso que nos ayude en estos momentos o es que acaso necesitamos que alguien de la Familia muera para sentir el Dolor ajeno?

Stay strong Italy

Unfortunately there is another side where not enough ICU beds, not enough caskets, and a 90% of obituaries cite coronavirus. We must prepare by self quarantine.

Humanity forced to live in solidarity towards each other... quite special time to redefine what really matters in life.. love, compassion, generosity, simplicity, unity, quietness, observance, introspection, praying, caring...

You shall overcome.

🙏🙏🙏

What United states will look like if it happens

Wonder how folks in iokstillundercurfew in India feel lockdown for past 6 months. Powerful countries are silent.

Big people. Have to admire them.

Stay Strong Italy

And here the people in Canada are complaining because some businesses had to shut down and we are being ASKED to stay inside. Love that they can find the light!!! Good for them! We should all be like that! ♥️

I pray for you who are having the most difficult time in the same time and space.

Beautiful. Also kind of sad. Like something noble is dying.

FakeNews media WakeUp

don't worry, we will return to hate and insult each other at the traffic lights ... and it will be beautiful

New Orleans has 80 virus cases and 2 deaths. Maybe that's not enough to alarm them but corona flu sounds like hell to have even if it won't kill you.

Just the dumbest crap ever...

What is WRONG with these people!

always for the 'better of the people'.

The folk still walking around. An announcement would work better than sirens. If folk are innocent of crime, we only yield to sirens. 🤔

It would be a lot easier to use a fire truck with the water hose and would do a better job !!

Lol.....how are they clearing the streets? They are only driving their cars down them.....

Copy Puerto Rico Governor's Executive Order. Curfew 9pm-5am except for police and medical services. No schools open. From 5am-6pm food chains, pharmacies, gas stations, essential gov only. Everything else must close. Airport open with screening and no cruiseship allowed.

Half-hearted effort, it looks like to me.

Maaaan simplyfeesh

Well without the declaration of MARSHALL LAW...this is highly illegal.

Darwin theory!

Incredibly effective policing!

I guess the virus has a safety limit of less than 250 in these rule makers dreams.

brooklynmarie I see a whole bunch of irresponsible unserious adults in those streets. IDGAF if it’s St. Patrick’s weekend, these people are children. If that sounds harsh and judgmental, well, it should.

😢😢🥵🥵

This didn't happen after SHOCK

This is start of recession

It's too advanced

My commute this morning in Louisville, KY.

if you ever wanted to shoot an apocalyptic movie on low budget, now is the time!

People are forgetting that not only does Italy have socialized healthcare, they also have an exorbitant elderly population, many smokers, and tons of people who are fat.

The spy who mi amava. While observing from above the unfolding tragedy, we should think about how we can all be angels and take extra special care of our older citizens, who have lived a life way more challenging than what we are all facing today.

This was the case in China a month ago

A couple cars nutty with it

TrueFactsStated Just unbelievable. The USA does not see what is about to hit. Most Americans. Tsunami is gathering momentum.

We will all get through this Italy. I still have to fulfill my dream to visit this beautiful country. StayStrong

Parabéns ao povo Italiano

realDonaldTrump maybe something like this?

The US is only days away from that 😑

K11Marc Wow!

The Hollywood stock footage companies are probably all over this and we will be seeing these scenes in every disaster movie for years to come.

Holy moly; that’s quiet, eery too.

NOW would be a great time for the road crews to get much needed road repairs done while the roads are empty. Just a thought.

😓🙏🏼🙌🏼

Something weird is going on int he world and its not because of a pandemic.

Looks like Mother Earth got sick of carbon emissions and decided to take matters into her own hands.

GMA Safety first but what happens to the people who depend on these jobs?

Really feel sorry for the people~ Please stand together. It can't be overcome without people's self discipline and collective work~

morgfair I truly hope they postpone the jury duty I'm supposed to do next week....

I get what's going on it's a gradual increase to a complete non-essential national shut-down, to prevent total panic. But stop screwing around and just do it already. Its obvious that the people cant be trusted and dont take it seriously enough.

Multas,ya!!!

So about the size of a maga rally is sweet

The CDC is Rasputin whispering in the ear of every hopeful dictator.

I think more died in car accidents in one day!

Not free, insulting human rights

Guess who won’t be at the family reunion this year😉

Is Chinese take-out also good?

What about the gym? Can we still go to the gym?

So much going on over a different strain of Coronovirus or COVID 19 as they also call it. I say different strain because of Lysol cans mention it.

How do Spain speak English?

Chinese deportation

This virus is really the 5G introduction

AGM30 this is the eeriest thing!!

La Rioja (Spain) Last night in the middle of a storm.

Cases are doubling on average in 3-4 days. The number of deaths are a lot higher in countries with moderate temperatures. This might be because people in colder countries have some immunity to viruses like this. Don’t panic but don’t be ignorant

要学习中国经验

That’s Wonderful....

They probably just washed their hands and didn’t have paper towels tbh

Thank you to all the health care workers around the world at the front of the treatment of the Corona virus, your work is essential and appreciated because the effect of your services and interventions expand throughout the world 🙏👩‍🔬👨‍🔬👩🏻‍⚕️👨‍⚕️💐

How long they been locked down for and how long will they be locked down for?

Great job to the healthcare workers!

rolandsmartin 👍👍👍👍👍🙏

Corona virus is not a very big deal actually. Some asian countries has managed well.(Looking at figures from Skorea Japan Singapore China.) Just a bigger flu,especially to young people.

oooh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

While Democrats in the United States continue to say how bad everything is and continue to try to blame others for the virus. Time to pitch in and quit the bitching!

What's up with the looping? 🧐

Or they are just clapping lol

Cheering that they can’t go anywhere. Sheep.

How they staying good with food ?

Yoeman's work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Donald is digging his own grave...no need for the virus to get him.

realDonaldTrump is ineffective because he can’t make fun of corona virus.

From a complete hoax to a National Emergency !!!!!! can only happen on trumps watch ..............

Only stupid Ppl R hoarding food. I see them at the supermarkets-Low income types & illegal Hispanics.

5k 6 16 p

He's in the incubation period

So sad

but need to wear mask if going out,,it is said that people get infected by the toxic air which is full of covid-19...all medias and public people are responsibe to guide people the right option to avoid being get infected

69 deaths now...

That will be his campaign slogan, as his base lies dying in their homes from the hoax he told them to ignore.

So I this time.. 61 deaths.. in USA what is the death rate of suicide, traffic accidents and cancer?

Don’t go outside....but don’t stock up on essential supplies( god forbid I get too sick to go out to do it)....make that.....make sense....🤦‍♀️

Hoarding?

very reassuring 🤐🤐🤐

American viruses limit their espionage

They are safer in most host countries than coming back here wtf whose bright idea was this ?

Trump isreally doing a “massive” job on coronavirus

TRUMP IS A FAT MAN

😬ABC: “We’re in a world wide pandemic what do we do, what do we do?” CNN “I dunno.. Uh.. 😃☝️let’s bash Trump!” Leftists:

What a clown.

Very sad.

Maybe if they close Mc Donald's he'll realize how the rest of us feel!

the War Corps rn:

'we are doing great' = me and my family. Not so sure about all other families.

Exactly everyone is blowing this way out of proportion if people would stop and actually realize this is literally just another respiratory virus and will soon be something of the past hmmm kinda funny how something 'so critical' pops up around election time again

stop promoting his lies and nonsense.

here's the thing: this guy is an idiot and everybody will be better off if they ignore him completely and listen to the professionals. when this moron speaks he just confuses everything; disregard him.

Baby talking Orange 🍊 face

The media in conjunction with the CDC created the panic that resulted in grocery stores being cleaned out.

Rich people who have more than they could reasonably use in a lifetime telling the rest of us that we have plenty

And he can eat dog crap for all I care. Tell him to go to the store and find empty shelves, stores closed, people scared. With his gold throne and rich friends, what does he care?!

“It’s a hoax. No wait...” *declares National Emergency* This President is a nincompoop.

The first words he said were 'It's such a beautiful day outside'. This right after Cuomo ended his live press conference were he said NYC ICU's are 80% full. REALLY beautiful day Mr. President.

GO AWAY TRUMP
