A colleague of my wife runs factories in China. The  materials and garments are produced there.
They are then exported back to Italy where the design comes from) and a made in Italy label is then sewn on.
There is a very high travel rate  between infected areas.

Italy had 1st case on January 31st ...two chinese tourists.....16 cases on February 21st.......additional 60 cases February 22nd....Now 19 days later they have 12,462 cases,827 deaths and 1045 recoveries.They have done 60,761 tests for the virus.So nearly 14,000 cases in 19 days.Its scary stats I really hope it just stops in Ireland.

The fashion industry is worth billions to Italy.
This is what happens when you cut costs allegedly.

I think it would have got out of China no matter what as Air travel and trade.I just hope we dont go same way as Italy.One area has a Cluster in Lombardy over 9000 cases alone, obviously a high density population.

Chances are the "lá fhéile Phadraig" cards you browse through in the shop are made in China. Everything is made there now....including 80% of all technologies........and not forgetting Turkey (Beko and Walker tech).

Why would schools being off have a bearing on renters ?just askin

renters cannot make cash to cover rental .The schools of is a separate issue will mean lots of people staying home to mind the kids they usually put into the baby farms probably see taxi owning teachers back on the roads .Rang up today to ask how to get paid if your self employed you will need a doctors cert I asked what about no work and got an interesting answer .Although passenger numbers may be reduced that does not mean you cannot get fares so unlikely we will get anything .Their interpretation of self employed is more if you are a contractor and your main employer closes .I suppose there has to be rules or farmers would look to be paid to watch grass grow .


If a very nice person had a heart attack in January would that class as an underlying condition and would he be able to receive state aid as hes afraid to work?
