Nervousness triggers racist reactions

Strange stories appeared in social media. A few nervous Italian provincials warned against entering Chinese businesses due to supply lines, but didn’t consider that most top brands and actually everything comes from China. Asian visitors and immigrants of various origins told stories of being shaken up by random racism-based attacks in public places, and warned anyone, regardless of continent of origin, who simply looks Asian, to keep their guard up and stay away for awhile. Our local Chinese population, having better access to Chinese-language guidelines from Wuhan, were the first citizens to begin closing their shops and staying indoors.
