+172 today, not 1000  (still a lot of course)

 

845 new cases today

 

Although these new daily numbers are of course not always literally 'today', but mostly a combination of the total new cases of the past few days.

I meant total deaths.

Oh damn. By now Italy is 'only' in 4th place in terms of new daily cases and the top-3 isn't even close anymore (for what it's worth, of course).

Does anyone have any idea how much a reusable FFP3 mask normally costs? I wanted to buy one on Ebay (in Germany), but at the moment they seem a bit overpriced ...

172,50 € (with more than half an hour to go until the auction is over) for ONE mask seems a bit high for me ... ?

First cases in Burundi too...

 

There will probably be a million cases overall by Friday...

I really hope these restrictive and limiting measures that many nations are passing don’t cause a bigger crisis down the line. Plus, we’re seeing governments using this as a way to increase their power in many parts of the world. I’m increasing worried about the social aspects of this disease.

A normal price in Italy (so, before emergency) for a single FFP3 mask was nearly 5 euro. They were typically sold on multiple packs, so you could pay more or less 50 euros for 10 masks. FFP2 were paid half, while surgery ones are really cheap, (10s of cents for a single mask)
