The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the world in a rapid and destructive way. Images of worn-out doctors, overrun hospitals and empty cities have become commonplace.
But Italy with the most deaths at over 7,500 has become the center of the pandemic. Italians have an aging population and initially weren’t appearing to take the novel coronavirus seriously. Now, the whole country is on lockdown and serves as a warning to others around the world.
With cases in the U.S. rapidly increasing, it’s predicted to be just days behind Italy. What can the U.S. learn from Italy’s handling of the crisis? Is it already too late? And how are the two countries set up differently to deal with an unprecedented health crisis?

The difference ? In Italy health Is free. In the USA no. So of you have Money you survive
I'm from Pakistan my samphte is America and Itly.
Why don’t we hear God Loves USA or God bless the USA?
The Italians form of greeting is also a huge reason why it spread so fast
Up incredibly recent…..No. Enough said.
Up incredibly recent…..No. Enough said.
America is a failure. We don't learn.
Everyone down played the threat because China and WHO lied to the world. Countries are doing the best they can with what they know. Put the blame on China and WHO because they are the ones who are responsible for all this bs.
maybe next time you'll not vote an idiot as president…or maybe yes>?>

"Learn" is not in your current President's vocabulary.
Is the US handling the China virus better than Italy? See for yourself and do not listen to this garbage reporter who serves as a lap dance dog for the Qatari monarchs. And no, hospitals are not turning away patients. https://youtu.be/KEQ3Bvuvef4
Health care is free in my country.

6:10…I wonder what they're thinking…
Ovviamente non hanno imparato nulla, ad oggi sono il primo focolaio globale.
America never learns anything because people in America tend to blame other people instead of acknowledging their mistakes and owning up to it.
The two countries that have shown massive incompetents on this virus, the US and UK, both countries had lots of warnings from Italy, the virus seemed to have had a delayed impact on both countries and yet both have done quite poor on this that it wouldn't surprise me if the US is the worse hit country in the world with the UK being the worse hit in Europe.
As an Italian, I say NO!
Sorry we have the worst president. I didn't vote for him
US
Universal healthcare: nope
Social safety net: yes, in theory; it's complicated
Social solidarity: here and there; not as a nation
Countries I think have handled the pandemic well:
– Ireland
– Germany
– Iceland
– Norway
– Sweden

– South Korea
Countries I think have not handled the pandemic well:
