I honestly reckon he’s creating a strategy from watching Contagion.

Cuomo sounds calm and clued up in comparison.

Trump's poor grasp of the extent of the problem knows no bounds. Granted NYC has the highest mortality, but Californa, Washington and Luisiana are just as much a concern. Especially when you consider NYC has a conversion of 1.4% and the others range from 2% to 5% and will be doubling up day by day. Not to mention New Jersey.
 
One thing this awful crisis has made me aware of that I didn’t appreciate before, and that’s the level of deprivation and poverty in parts of Italy. I had literally no idea it was as bad as it is.
I remember watching a programme about 3 years ago about Naples and the gangs !
It's a pretty poor City and like you say surprising at the poverty
 
Yeah I know the likes of the Milan clubs took the piss out of Napoli fans for being tramps. But I thought it was like us and the inbreds from Stoke <laugh>
Historically it's a very prosperus country but has really suffered over the past 40/50 years

Yup a very complex country and a lot of its history probably explains why some of the divisions are still visible today.

My thoughts to stopping this from boiling over, would be for the supermarkets in the South to set up their own foodbanks or parcels for those hungry, I would hope then that would help prevent the criminal gangs from enticing the poor to start looting. I'm not sure what emergency food measures are already in place out there at the moment. My logic being that looting will cost the supermarkets far more than the generosity of handing out free food parcels.

I come to my own conclusion regarding Naples, in that because people fly into there for the Amalfi Coast, they think it's a great place, it's not, it's a typical (and poor) City you have to go through as a major hub or that's the impression I get.
