ITALY: After two days of a declining death toll (Sat: 793 ---> Sun: 650 ---> Mon: 602), the daily death toll today increases back up to 743, the second most fatal day yet, for a total of 6,820 deaths.

Total number of confirmed cases rose to 69,176.

Spain has been looking as bad as, if not worse than, Italy for awhile, always a few days or so behind:

Daily death toll in Spain jumped today to 514, for a total of 2,696 deaths.

Close to 40,000 are infected (including 5,400 health care workers) bbc.com/news/world-eur…
Once the hell and horror of Lombardy and Madrid come to NYC, SF and elsewhere -- soon! -- it will be much, much harder -- with English-speaking US doctors & patients describing the death & suffering -- to maintain this line about how people should roll the dice & go to work.
What's going on in Spain has been obscured by the horrors of Italy, but it's been clear for a couple of weeks that its trajectory is at least as bad if not worse:

Just announced 738 deaths in the last 24 hours, close to Italy's worst day.

This @MotherJones story is completely false. Back **in January**, when most of the media was obsessed with an inconsequential impeachment proceeding, @TuckerCarlson was urging attention be paid to the coronavirus. Whatever you think of him, you don't get to re-write history:
What unmitigated audacity and dishonesty from @MotherJones!! Today they're claiming no conservatives took coronavirus seriously except conspiracy theorists.

Literally *the day after* Carlson urged people to pay attention to it in January, this is what Mother Jones published:
It's amazing: @MotherJones is now claiming that conservatives refused to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously, when they published an article in late January insisting the flu was worse & citing the CDC to say the risk is "low" to the US public motherjones.com/environment/20…

Please listen to this clip of Bolsonaro’s guru, US-based Olavo de Carvalho, insisting coronavirus is a hoax, that nobody has died from it, & the propaganda is coming from Putin & the KGB/FSB.

This is the person commanding the President of the world’s 5th most-populous nation:
That clip should be a good reminder that conspiratorially blaming the Kremlin & Moscow for everything has long been a right-wing pathology which US liberals spent 3 years copying.

Bolsonaro’s Covid-19 solution today: a decree allowing employers not to pay employees for 4 months!
Bolsonaro - facing crumbling political support & rising fury over his obscene handling of Covid-19 - just revoked the decree he issued last night, one that would've allowed employers to cut off salaries for 4 months & thus force workers to choose between coronavirus or starvation

While #coronavirus cases and deaths in #Italy keep growing, the curve appears to be flattening.

Italy locked down its north on 3/8 when it had 7,375 #COVID19 cases and 366 deaths.

On 3/11, the whole country was locked down: 12,462 cases and 827 deaths.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Mattarella has just spoken. He confirmed the problem was over the appointment of the finance minister. He said he was open to a ‘political appointee’, not to someone who would sleepwalk Italy out of the euro. He concludes that arguing for ‘Ital-exit’ should be done openly. #Italy
+++ The 5 Star Movement is now reportedly considering an impeachment of Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella.
Why the appointment of Italy’s finance minister is so important. My @bopinion take from this week. google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bloo…

Hello all. Sorry for the late hour, but I wanted to give you just some quick updates on #Italy’s political deadlock. As I had hinted here in the past, despite many discarded it in the 1st place, a sort of “populist” collaboration between LEGA and M5S is more likely
I tell you why
1. Today LEGA leader Salvini and M5S leader Di Maio had a phone call. It is the 1st actual, concrete contact between the two after #Italyelection2018, after pretending to ignore each other. It was “a frank and kind call”, they said. But what did they discuss on the phone?
2. Well, according to official statements, they primarily discussed the question of the two Parliaments speakers (House of reps + Senate, it is the first stel after elections), stressing the fact that the matter is “unrelated” to the formation of a potential government
