We did during the first week, i.e. 10 days ago approximately, including the opposition pandering to their base about how the government was incompetent. They have since backtracked, and the opposition leader (Salvini) has never been so silent.

It feels as if all these people were trained in a secret CIA guerilla training camp and spread across the world to champion the same bullshit. I find it creepy.

It wasn't a secret CIA camp; it was the Internet.

We created systems for like-minded individuals who were previously geographically separated to find each other and cross-communicate easily, asynchronously, peer-to-peer, and globally. What you're seeing that looks like organized planning by a central office is more the effect of these people all reading (and posting on) the same news sources and message boards regardless of country of origin.

The "it's only a flu" sentiment never died and nor has "it only kills elders", albeit more people are taking it seriously because hospitals may soon begin to select who has access to ICU. It feels like "I have nothing to hide" you know, or "if you have something to hide then you are a criminal"; some things are never taken seriously.
