I just saw on the news that Russia is sending aid to Italy, planes with masks, ventilators, testing equipment and doctors on board.

Yaah, saw the same one, and no doubt that looks good.. Hate to be cynical but Putin is a clever man...

In other news Spanish numbers are "strange", after death numbers that were spiraling out of control (105/193/262/288/391), they have reported "only" 31 deaths for the last 24 hours. It makes no sense...

Nope we are stupid by outsourcing a good portion of our manufacturing jobs, in the 1990s to countries such as China, Mexico, Costa Rica, etc.. Now we are at the mercy of these countries to get the supplies such as ventilators, test kits,
drugs, gloves masks, that our medical professionals need at this point. So much for Globalism. Well hopefully we can mobilize our companies such as Boeing to help produce these goods.
Congress is still in a civil war and nothing is happening. It is a shame .. A dirty shame. And shame on the unnecessary run on Toilet Paper, Cold Medicine and store price gouging.

We were told we have all the supplies we need, Remember?

I'm thinking the same thing. I'd like to think it's just an act of good will. At any rate it's a good thing they're getting some help.

Good news from Italy. For the 2nd day in a row the curve of deaths is slowing down i.e. not as fast as before.
Mon 23-mar = 6078 => +11% (+602)
Sun 22-mar = 5476 => +13% (+651)
Sat 21-mar = 4825 => +20% (+793)
Fri 20-mar = 4032 => +18% (+627)
ROME (Reuters) - The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has grown by 602 to 6,078, the head of the Civil Protection Agency said on Monday, an 11% increase but the smallest rise in numerical terms since Thursday, suggesting a clear downward trend.
On Sunday, 651 people died. That followed 793 on Saturday and 627 on Friday.
The total number of confirmed cases in Italy rose to 63,927 on Monday from a previous 59,138, an increase of 8%, the Civil Protection Agency said -- the lowest rise in percentage terms since the contagion came to light on Feb. 21.

Yes it's better as well as the number of "new cases" that has dropped significantly : 4789
4207 -> 5322 -> 5986 -> 6557 -> 5560 -> 4789
That's a pretty massive decrease.

Ontario is closing all non-essential businesses for 2 weeks effective Wednesday. And schools, scheduled to re-open on April 6, won’t. I expect it will be close to a lock-down very soon.
