Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 3472874, member: 920"] Thanks for sharing, the article makes sense, but who is fact-checking? Can you explain this to me on behalf of the writer? [I]"The same story is now playing out in other countries around the world. [B]Italy [/B]had 62 identified cases of COVID-19 on the 22nd of February. It had 888 cases by the 29th of February, and [B]4,636 by the 6th of March[/B]... ...Meanwhile, [B]the news from Italy[/B], another country with a highly developed medical system, has so far been shockingly bad. [B]In the affluent region of Lombardy, for example, there have been 7,375 confirmed cases of the virus as of Sunday[/B][/I]." Sunday was 3/8. Is the author saying there were nearly 3k more cases in Lombardy alone than there was in all of Italy just 2 days later? What am I missing? [/QUOTE]
