A couple of weeks ago it was "China was slow and it turned into a disaster". Now China was fast and Italy is turining into a disaster. Someties it seems that people want to be that a disaster, so they push that narrative. Same thing happens with the deniers, so.

Or you know, both narratives are right. China was slower than it should, it turned into a disaster, but they did a 360o and bounced back with strict measures quite fast.

Italy was slow, and is already a nightmare.

China was slow, and it turned into a disaster, then they got their act together.

Italy was slower than that.

I don't think we're actually slow. Yes, the risk was clear from the beginning, but the government had to take care of the economic situation too, which was (and is) rapidly collapsing. Some choices are maybe arguable, but when compared to other EU countries Italians were quite fast to converge to some decisions.

Foreign Policy, which has pretty good corona virus reporting, strongly disagrees with your opinion.[1]
