A reporter’s emotional journey back to her homeland in Italy, now the global epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak. “I never thought that I would be making a film like this in Italy,” says FRONTLINE correspondent Sasha Achilli. “I feel immensely proud of the way that the Italian doctors are doing everything they can.” Italy’s doctors, she says, are looking at how America is responding now, and finding similarities with how their own country reacted weeks ago. “Doctors [here] are saying, absolutely self-isolate and do it in the interest of yourself. But in the interests of everybody else around you and who you love. Because this is very, very real.”

  1. OMG, REALLY?? THIS IS THE BEST THAT PBS CAN DO?? WHATS THE PROBLEM??? DO SOME REAL REAL REAL COVERAGE OF THE PLACE OF ORIGIN, PEOPLE OF ORIGIN, MONEY BEHIND THE LAB, COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN THE LABS AND ORIGIN, THE ESCAPE, THE US LIES….. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF ????

  2. No finest sensation than going out during lockdown. It was magic. Everything was new for everybody. But there's no one! Silence. Mute greets from a corner to another of a wide empty place between me and a friend…But we lost human lives. This was not magic. It was a nightmare for many. Not for me, to be honest.

  3. Putting It in Perspective…the state of FL is actually wanting to fight it all the way to the supreme Court…if the powers that be want to shelter in place… The spring break crowd brought it to them yet they aren't understanding the volume of death's this decision will bring their State! At what point do you make the hard decision and brace for impact?

  4. 25/3/2020 8:50 pm local. I'm in Malaysia and our lock down has been extended for another 2 weeks.110 people have been arrested for being out without a valid reason- 2 yrs in jail-. Another person was hit with a RM 50,000.00 fine, just under $ 17 grand Canadian. Getting my rent paid is going to be an issue. STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE.

  5. CHINA SHOULD PAY FOR OUR DEAD CHINA KNEW SINCE DECEMBER THAT THEY WERE INFECTED THEY ALREADY HAD HUNDREDS DEAD ITS CHINAS NEGLIGENCE WERE IN THIS DEADLY CHOAS GOD HELP US

  6. Scam. How many die from the flu & pnemonia every year? What's the average age of those dying? Why are many of these peoples' elderly smokers? What's Italys population?

  7. My brother and his girlfriend live in Cremona. He is a violin maker and stays indoors and works in his studio. I am in United States living in a rural small town. It is important to stay calm and not panic.

  8. The average age of Italians is around 50 years old, many families live in extended groups, grand parents, parents children, grand children all live in the same homes and in close proximity to one another. A blessing on the one hand and a curse on another.

  9. Hey welcome to socialized medicine! Thank God for the United States Medical. Everyone gets treated here to differences is they're all treated the same. Thank God for our medical system are in the United States. Bernie Sanders can go to Hades Heaven is Medicare Medicaid for all and superb health care for none
