Terrible tale of the number of deaths in Italy......and how the Progressives are largely responsible.
See how it resonates here.
"Italy and #CoronaRacism
Mark PowellMarch 29, 2020
The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 8,000 people have died and around 80,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case?
Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in
The Guardian that there was link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And
those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism.
As such,
many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no intercultural link at all, and that it was simply because Italy has the second-oldest population on earth. But as Marcus Roberts responded in
Mercatornet:
However, this doesn’t fully explain Italy’s predicament. The oldest country in the world is Japan, and it has managed to keep the number of infections and deaths to quite low levels.
So, what did Italy do that Japan didn’t? Well, the blame should probably be laid with progressive politicians who—under the guise of combatting racism—unwittingly facilitated the virus spreading throughout the entire Italian population. As Ellen Whinnett explains in
The Daily Telegraph:
The first cases were detected in Italy on January 29 when two Chinese tourists fell ill in Rome. They had flown into Milan on a tour on January 23.
The diagnoses prompted Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to immediately announce a ban on flights from China – the first country to do so – and declare a six-month state of emergency.
But there was squeamishness from some quarters about the tough action, and
the Mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, launched a “hug a Chinese’’ day on February 1, calling for “unity in the common battle’’ and decrying racism against Chinese people in Italy.
The move prompted Italians to hug Chinese people in the northern Italian city and post images on social media.
Italy is now suffering one of the worst coronavirus tragedies on the planet, with around 80,000 infections, and 8215 people have died, giving the country a death rate of around 10 per cent. More people have died in Italy than in China.
This is sadly what happens when identity politics trumps common sense.
But it’s not racist to identify a certain disease as coming from a particular part of the world. (As this piece from
The Federalist demonstrates, there are a plethora of diseases named after the places in which they originated). And as we’ve seen,
it’s also not racist to protect the borders of one’s country from any potential threat from the outside.
Because as we’re seeing, the alternative is not only irrational, but ultimately, deadly."

Anyone notice that the same fear of the word 'racism' gave us the previous President?
Nope its the conservatives pointing the finger and placing blame before they be blamed
kudos
one is the loneliest number
Speaking of numbers.....
I posted this question, and reference to a 'number' in another thread....but it responds to your inane claim:
Let’s begin with a challenge: aside from skin-color,
what are the reasons that Barack Obama deserved the nomination to the presidency? If any Obama-voter can’t provide a cogent answer, it is proof of the charge that Liberals/Democrats use emotion rather than intellect in choosing a candidate. And the party knows how to use it:
the only number greater than infinity is how often they used the term ‘racist.’ That's how they silenced any critiques.
what are the reasons that Barack Obama deserved the nomination to the presidency?
He won the election just as Trump won the election
if trump was to go heads to heads with OB he would lose
I know you trying to make a racist statement but its in the history books instead ;you should focus on the sexist statement and why Hillary lost
one is the loneliest number but two ones can mean 11 or it could mean 2 if you believe it
"I know you trying to make a racist statement ..."

Please don't ever write "I know" again....as you clearly know nothing.
well what was the racist statement that I said because clearly I did not but you seem to believe so
So am I the racist or do you thing about racism all the time as you are the OP of this topic and mention racism first, then political racism, and finally
I do know that 1 is the loneliest number
You wrote this:
"I know you trying to make a racist statement ..."
Defend it.
as OP you wrote in the beginning
- Anyone notice that the same fear of the word 'racism' gave us the previous President?
Your using racism to make your point and in the next think you talk about the previous President and you do not believe that it is a racist statement
Quote you place in the thread from another source
the only number greater than infinity is how often they used the term
‘racist.’ That's how they silenced any critiques.
using someone's statement who talks about racism but you want to quote and then you want to pretend that you do not agree with it.
But why would you post it, if you did not agree with it ? IF it was me I would have added that I am not a racist but this is what someone else said. But I am not saying your a racist just answering your question
Then you say
Let’s begin with a challenge: aside from skin-color,
what are the reasons that Barack Obama deserved the nomination to the presidency?
He was elected by the people just like Trump
So it should satisfy your challenge but you can't stand it
You played the race card even with the the but statement (aside from skin color) because you mentioned it and then try to discard it
then you pad it with give me the reason blah blah blah assuming that no one can give you a satisfying answer to your question
thus the only remaining reason was race
I provide the only answer that matters -he won-, just like Trump won. That justify any nomination.
In this world winning is everything
Just ask Trump
