It’s not 15% that need to be hospitalized, just 15% of elderly, it’s why the death rate in Germany is 0.2% and Italy is so high (ignoring Italy’s strained medical system). Buckle up folks, between this virus and the economic damage what we’re doing right now will cause, time to tighten expenses.

You mean that in Italy the elderly are a higher percentage of the population?

“Buckle up folks, between this virus and the economic damage what we’re doing right now will cause, time to tighten expenses.”

I just show my wife the article. We are discussing expenses now.

The question is how much will the economy shrink when we all start tighten down.

We will be using our camper for vacation in remote area if the virus does hang around. I have a feeling the US is holding back because Dr Fauci has hinted at it. They do not want to scare the public until it happens.

It still might not happen we might get lucky and the virus mutates into some less dangerous. I know wishful thinking.
