Allium tricoccum (sounds dirty doesn't it?) is the North American version. They are called "ramps" and are very much in vogue in expensive restaurants in New York (now serving take out and delivery only). People go out in the woods to harvest them in April/May both for home use and to sell at markets.It has a great many names, though Ramsons or Ramps (Old English hramsa) are/ were the most general (though nowadays Wild Garlic),
Others include Brandy Bottles, Devil's Garlic, Gipsy's Gibbles, Snake's Food, Stinking Jenny, etc. Onion Stinkers is from Somerset.
In the 1970s the far end of my garden was infested with the stuff and it was Hell`s own job to get it under control. Ironic.Allium tricoccum (sounds dirty doesn't it?) is the North American version.

In Italy, testing on 350 ill volunteers with a substance that is used for rheumatism has been authorized. This seems to have given good results. Of course, all research is available to the international community. I hope that the news about Trump is a fake because if it were true it would prove what I always thought of him: THAT HE IS A GREAT COCK HEAD!Good news: The German Drug Firm CureVac has announced that they probably in the fall can deliver a Corona-vaccine.
Bad news: At a conference Trump has held in early march, he met the chief executive of CureVac and tried to buy the firm (16,6 million Euro yearly sales) and the vaccine exclusively for use in the USA. He offered 1 billion dollars.
The German Secretary of Commerce, Peter Altmaier commented that offer with the statement:"Germany is not for sale."
CureVac has meanwhile rejected the offer. The chief executive is now working for a american Drug Firm.
Now, I don´t think that it matters where in the world a vaccine is developed, only that it is developed. But what on earth is Trump thinking if he not only says "America first", but "America only"?
Before anyone says "fake news" - after several German federal minister confirmed that news, I believe it.

The affair became public in a story of the German newspaper "Welt am Sonntag". Asked by newspersons, Secretary of State, Heiko Maas, gave following statement:Associated Press PUBLISHED: March 16, 2020 at 12:37 p.m. | UPDATED: March 17, 2020 at 4:12 a.m.
BERLIN — A German company working on a potential vaccine for the new coronavirus denied reports Monday that the U.S. government was angling to acquire it, while German officials sought to ease tensions fueled by the story by insisting the firm would stay in the country.
I appreciate your feelings.The affair became public in a story of the German newspaper "Welt am Sonntag". Asked by newspersons, Secretary of State, Heiko Maas, gave following statement:
"Außenminister Heiko Maas hat den mutmaßlichen Versuch der US-Regierung kritisiert, das Tübinger Pharma-Unternehmen CureVac zu einem Standortwechsel zu bewegen. „Deutsche Forscher sind führend an der Entwicklung von Medikamenten und Impfstoffen beteiligt, in weltweiten Kooperationen. Wir können nicht zulassen, dass sich andere ihre Forschungsergebnisse exklusiv aneignen wollen“, sagte der SPD-Politiker den Zeitungen der Funke Mediengruppe. Darüber habe er bereits mit seinen Kollegen aus Kanada, Südkorea, Brasilien und Australien gesprochen. Dies werde aber auch im Kreis der G7-Staaten zu bereden sein. „Dieses Virus werden wir nur gemeinsam besiegen, nicht gegeneinander“, betonte Maas."
Now it seems that either U.S. government or the German government isn´t telling the truth...
Sorry if I look stubborn on this topic, but I am really pissed off.
