I only heard mention in a news report about this once, and not again.  It definitely has me very puzzled.

Today I checked through the WHO reports.  I then realized that possibly the winter has to have something to do with it?  Like if you look at the "red patches" where the cases are concentrated, they seem to be heavy in the Northern Hemisphere.  There may be other factors like traveling, but then China is very interested in Africa too with plenty of business interests.  I wonder whether the southern Hemisphere cases are going to take off during their winter season?  Just a thought that came to me today.  A shift of those big red blobs to the southern parts of the world?

I'm completely puzzled about Italy though.  In one of those reports with opinions they said Italy is the country with the second most aging population after Japan.  Their medical services have been completely overwhelmed though with problems with bed places and they've been calling up retired doctors to help out. Wonder whether the difference between Canada and Italy could also be Public Health education?  Italians didn't take the virus seriously and looked upon it as hype.  I guess one just doesn't know and maybe before we know it could take off in Canada too.

Speaking of countries and the way the virus has spread, many people have made up a theory (which could potentially be correct in my opinion):

Many say that the coronavirus was actually man-made by the US. Like isn’t it ironic that it affects China and Iran the most? (Italy I think is the third most affected).

It would seem to make sense for the US to affect China’s economy using the virus without making it extremely obvious. Specially considering that China holds a huge market share.

Similarly with Iran, the conflict going on between the US and Iran could also be something that lead them to target Iran as well. And yet again, the fact that it’s done through a virus makes it less obvious, allowing the US to pretend like they’ve got nothing to do with it.

As for Italy, not sure why they’d target them though. 

But again, all of this is just a theory and is probably just a result of pure coincidence. I just find it quite ironic specially considering that the US isn’t all that badly affected by the virus.
