[True, but if the population of the infected and dying is mostly Chinese, the age is much lower than the average death age we’ve been told. 80 year olds aren’t your usual factory worker.]

The posted page is blurry. Are most of the people in the obits Chinese or Italian?

And, if my comment on age is wrong... then perhaps my info was based on early comments about a different group of people.
