Italy’s “high death rate” is not that hard to explain.
Italy failed to properly test its people early on, so the only way they knew someone had the virus was when folks were very sick—and those folks were tested.
Then, there were so many of those very sick folks that they overwhelmed the health care system and more and more people died since adequate care was not available.
The _only_ reason this has not happened in France, Spain, UK, US etc is because these countries are a few weeks behind Italy in getting the disease.
You do _not_ want to hear this, but I have seen _no_ evidence that any other western European country or the US is handling this better than Italy did.
_No_ evidence.
Countries that handled the disease with massive quarantines and massive testing (like South Korea and Hong Kong, for example) had much lower death rates.
If you get it right, you have low death rates.
If you get it wrong, you have high death rates.
Makes sense, thanks.
I thought it might be something along those lines. It will be devastating when it hits more third world countries if it’s this bad in Europe, etc.
Meanwhile, were these gowns really in need of a recall—or just a way for China to get 9 million gowns back from us?

Until I know better I don’t believe they went unused:

Oh, and remember all those reports about how hospitals were packing up their mask supplies and shipping them to China?
There is a cluster in Seoul now. SK put off the inevitable. But it’s going to happen.
When we see breakouts in Calcutta, Rio, and Mumbai...then the walls have truly fallen.
