"There’s simply no way given their population density that they had zero new cases. Impossible."

^^^ This right here.

I have no Italian ancestry or links to that country but I pray for them and hope they will be delivered soon from this nightmare.

Yeah.

57 US deaths yesterday.

Today with just four hours remaining, we’re at 23.

If so, I’d take it that’s the impact of chloroquine use in NYC, since we’re still ramping up so quickly in diagnosed cases and there is generally a lag from there to death.

300,000 chinese workers in most typically the Garment industry and who probably flew home for Chinese new years celebration as there are regular flights daily between the 2 countries.

Italians in Country are being priced out of the jobs by them and the adherence to the Globalist Supply chain model that follows

Be careful what you ask for, you may just get it

Most Italians live in city environments and are very social so add it to an aging population and off you go..

Note that most if not all EU countries have come to the realization that Open Borders and the Globalist Model based on profit is biting them in the ass and they are closing their borders to try and get a handle on all of this.

Hope so.

One day’s worth of data could just be statistical noise, but if it holds, it would be the first decrease in the rate of deaths this month.

I think it would have to be due to the success of treatments, since the number of cases that would be progressing to death about now were clearly still advancing back when this batch would have started.

“a video in Italy hospital- not pretty”

IMO the Hospital staff in general had inadequate protection. Little (any?) full face shields, the Nurses had non wrap around eye glasses, completely open along the sides. Mostly surgical type masks. I think they need an influx of Medical help ASAP they have to be emotionally and physically exhausted.

There was an article yesterday (source: Italy National Health Institute) showing that 0.8% of COVID-19 deaths in Italy were from this virus alone, without other illnesses.

48.5% had 3 other illnesses.

25.6% had 2 other illnesses.

25.1 had 1 other illness.

CDC numbers are probably more accurate than Worldometers for U.S. cases, but it’s hard for CDC to update in a timely manner (data from 50 health departments aren’t readily available 24/7).
