* Regarding my first post today: unfortunately, seems that Italy is not doing better at all. The numbers were not updated earlier this morning when I checked the website (worldometers). Now updated,  there has been an increase in cases and in deaths today: 53,578,4,825 total cases and 4,825 total deaths today, which is up from 47,021 total cases  and 4,032 total deaths when I checked yesterday.

Also, global cases 297,426, deaths 12,775 (up from 286,402 and 11,885 from this morning).

The better numbers are still better: 88% of patients that were infected with the virus and tested positive for the virus have recovered, and 96% of patients still suffering from the virus show mild symptoms/ are in mild condition.

—I am going to be more cautious regarding the numbers, I understand now that no number in the data table in the website doesn’t mean zero, but it may very well mean that a number was not yet entered into the data table.
