Historian, former Speaker of the House, and just a smart guy. Worth considering.
Newt says
“ As I indicated earlier, if America begins to have the Italian scale of deaths, we would be losing 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 Americans. If it really got out of control, the rates could go higher.”
Swine flu killed 12,000 in the first year USA , as a historian he should have included this fact... i like and respect Newt however
Italy is a true disaster, but, by their own hand.
I do feel compassion for the citizens and hope they will smarten up on choosing their leadership.
Their healthcare system is a wreck. They have Berniecare. They would be overwhelmed by an acne outbreak.
To prove that they are not evil xenophobes like President Trump, Italy chose to keep its borders wide open, to welcome visitors from China and gawd knows where else.
But, at least they’re not xenophobes.
What's the exit plan should the virus fizzle out? People have a right to know when life can return to normal.
