Re Flu shot…cud be. Tks…never had one in ages.
Italy also has two factors that make it unique. The Northern area which was worst hit by far, is a massive destination for Chinese tourists and they have a hidden slave labour section making luxury goods, that are all Chinese people in sweat shops…for the likes of Versace etc, so they can be genuinely labelled as made in Italy still.
The Chinese are obsessed with where stuff is made, so will fly over to load up from the area it comes from, do a bit of tourism and then go home and sell it on, to help pay for the trip.
In the UK we have a shopping village 30 mins outside London by train, called Bicester village, it is/was so busy with Chinese that they built a new train station to handle the volume…we also have loads of Chinese students.
As for care homes, we in the UK threw elderly people out of hospitals, into care homes, without testing them, to make space, so they then infected the rest of the home etc…I believe Italy may have done the same but they also have a lot of elderly people as a percentage of the population……this is a scandal waiting to blow, as there are tons of very unhappy relatives.
