Italy has a 10% death rate. Think about that.
And Germany has a 0.2% death rate.
“Italy has a 10% death rate. Think about that.”
Half had three or more other factors.
A quarter had two other factors.
About a quarter had another illness.
Almost NONE of the deaths were to healthy people.
No other country even comes close to Italian death rates, including China where it started as far back as December last year.
Stop trying to spread mindless hysteria.
“Italy has a 10% death rate. Think about that.”
Really? So, you have accurate figures regarding the number of infections and number of deaths? You’ve counted all of the infections that the individual shook off and was only slightly ill? Of the deaths, how many were individuals who were in chronically poor health?
10%? Not likely.
I also understand that Italy has @5,000 ICU beds vs the US with @1,000,000.
Anecdotal information, but from a medical doctor.
As of yesterday, he stated that there were a total of 65 individuals nation-side in the US that were in-patients in hospitals.
65.
It may, and probably will, bloom. But not to the numbers that would call for our current state of nation-wide panicking and pearl-clutching.
