How did Italy get its initial response to coronavirus so wrong?

Daily Mail  

The scenes I have witnessed unfolding here in Italy could, sooner or later, be coming your way. The Piazza del Duomo in Florence, pictured, was unusually quiet after the Italian government imposed a curfew and an unprecedented lockdown to help battle coronavirus Everywhere, churches, museums, shopping malls and football stadiums are all shut Wherever you go, you have to remain at least one metre away from the next person The news reached us at a deserted restaurant in Florence, late Monday night. According to professor Sergio Brusin of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: ‘The UK is in the same situation Italy was two weeks ago.’ Italians have been ordered to stay at least one metre away from each other and only small numbers can go into shops at the same time There are, of course, worse places to be than Italy in March. We are using this time as an opportunity to appreciate the strange privilege we suddenly have of being in an empty Venice.’ John Voigtmann, an ex-record producer turned hotelier, has guaranteed staff at La Bandita in Tuscany that he will pay them for six months even though he has shut the hotel indefinitely. I am confident that Italy will set a dignified and effective standard for the rest of the world.’ Everywhere, churches, museums, shopping malls and football stadiums are all shut.
