Narses,

Echoing Andy Jackson’s question:

What about Italy & Iran?

Facts are friends, fear is contagious. Facts fight fear.

And Italy and Iran?

Italy mortality will drop once their virus gets under control and the very vulnerable die off.

Iran is a useless comparison. The people lick statues and the government shot 1500 unarmed demonstrators and buried them in a mass grave. The more people die there, the happier they are.

Iran is such a seventh century culture it will kill many. MERS did the same thing do did SARS

Italy is spotty in its health care plus it has all those “migrants “

Remarkably worse in Italy and Iran. Perhaps they got different strains, or possibly it started infecting people there earlier than originally thought.

Italy’s health care system is top notch in quality, but not in quantity. Their ICU beds in the affected regions are about to become full.
