Well, if the population of Milan had stayed put when told, instead for fleeing in a panic to their seaside homes, or going out socializing like the corona virus is all a big joke, the infection would not have spread so fast to the central/south regions.
What is so scary about staying put for a few weeks, and taking basic precautions?
There was a leak of info before the official lock down directives from the government were made public.
Thousands from the Milan/Turin areas left, either to holiday homes or to family homes in the previously non affected zones.
Very irresponsible, imo.
