Why is the epidemic in Italy so much worse than in other countries?

This epidemic is global. Except for China, it has now begun to spread in countries around the world. Especially Italy, where the number of deaths from the epidemic has exceeded that of China. Why is the epidemic so much more severe in Italy than in other countries?

1. Italy is a tourist destination with a large flow of people

We all know that Italy is a very popular tourist country with many historical sites. People from many countries will travel to Italy. A holy place for travel and vacation in Europe. Therefore, the flow of people in Italy is particularly large, and these tourists come from all over the world, and the composition of the people is very complex. This caused the outbreak in Italy.

2. Disadvantages of the national system

In fact, as long as prevention and control work is done in the early stages of the epidemic, the epidemic will not spread so fast. If Lombardy, the hot spot of the epidemic, had been closed earlier, the epidemic would not have become as widespread as it is now. The low efficiency of control has something to do with Italy's political system. The Italian Parliament has held several meetings on the issue of whether to wear masks, delaying the best period for epidemic prevention and control. Some government members even took the lead in not wearing masks and failed to guide the people in prevention and control. Moreover, the lockdown implemented in Italy was very weak and was regarded as useless by the people. It didn't really work, causing the epidemic to spread in Italy. The democratic system in the West is somewhat rampant. People place too much emphasis on personal freedom and democracy and cannot cooperate with the government's prevention and control efforts when the epidemic strikes.

Summary: Italians are famous for their romance and freedom. Most people are optimists. Even when disaster is approaching, people still don't take it seriously. Secondly, its people are very unrestrained and greet each other with kisses, which accelerates the spread of the virus. The first is that the public does not take the virus seriously and does not cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention work. The second is that the government's response was slow and missed the best period to prevent and control the epidemic. As a result, Italy is now much more serious than other countries.
