The only way to stop the virus, is a properly planned and executed full lock down. Like I said, a half assed attempt at a lock down will do nothing, and has done nothing, to stop the spread. If properly planned, folks could have calmly stocked up on necessary supplies, and business, industry and the healthcare system could have planned accordingly. Then do a planned, instead of panicked lock down, worldwide, for 3 or 4 weeks; during which time, any serious cases could have been handled appropriately.
But, of course, this would require cooperation on the part of all major countries. I'm guessing China would not have cooperated.

@frankeinstein719 you don't get it, do you. I have never supported these so-called lock downs. They are lock downs in name only. An actual lockdown would have stopped the spread dead in it's tracks. If well planned and executed, it would have done very little damage to the economy, as it would have taken only a few weeks, just like they originally said it would. Instead, they hyped everything up, deliberately mismanaged the situation, and ultimately failed to accomplish the goals of limiting the spread, and protecting the vulnerable.
If done properly, as cases revealed themselves within an already isolated environment, proper quarantine measures could have been implemented. People and small businesses could have been paid a 3 week stipend to get them thru, saving our society a shitload of financial devestation.
And if long term care facilities were properly managed, and strict protocols followed, half of all deaths worldwide would have been avoided. But the political/corporate will was never there to accomplish any of this.

64,000 cases is 0.1% of population infected. 6100 deaths is 0.01%. That leaves 99.9% not infected, and 99.99% still alive. Nearly half of all cases are in Lombardy, at 27,206 (43%), and the majority of deaths were also in Lombardy, at 3456 (57%).
Death rate for infected, is 12.7% in Lombardy, 10.8% in Emilia..., 10% in Liguria, 7.6% in Marche, 6.4% in Piedmont, 4% in Tuscany, 3.8% in Lazio, 3.3% in Veneto... The further you move out from Lombardy, the lower the cases are, and the lower the death rate is. These situations are more localized, than wide spread. Southern Italy is almost unaffected.
