The virus spread _before_ the quarantine became serious enough. People just didn't take the quarantine seriously.
I live in Czech Republic, and I read in the news that some 16.5k Czechs went on vacation to Northern Italy _after_ knowing about the risks. Now we're all in quarantine, with plenty of restrictions. Numbers of infections are still very low, but so is the number of tests that were done.
People just did not take Covid-19 seriously.
- misja111 7y agoIn Italy the national lockdown was announced on March 9th, so 16 days ago. Today Italy reported 5210 new infections. So the government measures might have some effect, but nothing like in China. I don't live in Italy so for me it's hard to judge, but could the difference in efficacy maybe be explained by the discipline of the people?
