In reply to Barry.
We saw this real time Barry, but it's good to remind people about the truth since they may never have saw articles like yours.
I remember hearing over 200k but I don't want to exaggerate and so I went with a conservative number. Doesn't really matter though. 100k would have been sufficient to ensure an outbreak and Italy (free health care!!) has one of the worst health care systems anyway. Recipe for Disaster. .
They KNEW Trump would restrict travel from China. Anyway, they needed a Global Outbreak to properly spread the Spanish Flu comparisons.
