Yeah. 34 new cases in one day. It’s going to start escalating rapidly now as containment has failed.

no more updates on location from today - too many cases.
Maybe partly. Both Korea and Italy have aged populations. 15% of South Korea's population is over 65. For Italy it is 22%. Something of a difference but not enough to account in the difference in mortality rates.
The biggest reason for the difference is that South Korea has been systematically testing anyone who has been in contact with previous cases. By contrast Italy is only testing people if they are symptomatic.

Hello decadence
@Fab Foodie......I see that you and @Hill Wimp have been getting some stocks in for your self-isolation. Should be quite a party.

We were discussing at work that that Gin might be good for hand sanitising, and even Aldi's Gin might be cheaper per ml than hand gel !
