1. What's making Italy different than China in R0?

2. only a week ago I saw a news cast about how they wouldn't give up the kiss greeting/parting

The Italian was just saying it's our culture, we'll keep doing it or something along those lines.

Only takes a percentage of infected individuals with those attitudes to drive the R0 through the roof.

I'm not just picking on the Italians. In Seattle they had a Sounders soccer game last weekend. I am still stunned at the levels of denial so life can go on as normal.

Sorry for the delayed response.
