Danilo Gallinari sent a warning to the United States not to make the same mistakes as Italy in the coronavirus crisis.
The Italian forward said the Americans should be more careful with their approach to the virus if they don’t want to end up in a situation like the one the Italians are currently dealing with.
Gallinari added that everyone must take the virus seriously if they want to make it out of this situation with as little damage as possible.
“It was a mistake that we did as Italian citizens, and I put myself in, too, because I’m Italian even if I live in the States.
Of course we did a mistake not taking it seriously in Italy and now we are the second- or third-worst country in the world for this virus. Hopefully, we’re not going to make the same mistake in the States,” the forward of the Oklahoma City Thunder told Marc Stein of the New York Times.
Gallinari also praised the NBA for its decision to suspend the season for at least 30 days.
