The coronavirus is spreading like wildfire in Italy. They experienced a significant increase in coronavirus cases over a single day.
Italian authorities said Sunday that the country has confirmed 1,694 cases of a potentially deadly coronavirus, representing a 50 percent increase in the last 24 hours alone.
Officials added that five more people have died from the disease, bringing the total to 34 in the country, according to The Associated Press. Health officials reportedly noted that a marked increase in coronavirus cases was expected because it can take up to two weeks for containment measures to take effect and because of Italy’s sizable elderly population. Giovanni Rezza, director of the infective illness department at the National Health Institute, said it would take up to 10 more days for the outbreak to become less severe.
The announcement arrived following a week in which U.S. health officials warned that a coronavirus outbreak within the country’s border was likely inevitable and as the Trump administration created a task force designed to combat its spread.
It’s hard to say how bad this is going to get, but I hope it gets worse and causes a total economic collapse around the world.
The main reason why I want it to get worse is because we will see increasingly funny things happen as a result of it getting worse.
If things get worse, it would allow me to write many funny blog posts about people dying. I’d also be able to join a post-apocalyptic gang that goes around stealing people’s food and resources after we have a total societal breakdown.
