Why Italy?

6 years ago

Very interesting observation on why Italy is now the epicenter of the COVID19 Virus.

A show store owner in Florence told me about this practice of Italians selling their factories to the Chinese but I had no idea to what scale.

"Many Italians in Northern Italy have sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan and Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct flights between Wuhan and Northern Italy. This continued post outbreak, so is it mere coincidence that Northern Italy is now Europe’s hotspot for Corona Virus"?
