Italy caused people over 60 to not get respirators.

Italy has 1/3 the respirators per capita we do.

Italy said over 50% of everyone who died from COVID were elderly AND had three serious, pre-existing, life threatening illnesses.

The flu kills 300,000 - 600,000 a normal season. COVID will go no where near that.

The US won’t have even 15,000 die of it.

Not only that, but COVID is causing a NEGATIVE DEATH RATE.

“Italy caused people over 60 to not get respirators.”

Because they had so many sick they had to ration. They had their own FluBros.

“Italy said over 50% of everyone who died from COVID were elderly AND had three serious, pre-existing, life threatening illnesses.”

Over 50%. What about the other 50%? Do you happen to know how old “elderly” is in Italy? Sounds like it’s 60. How many of those “serious, pre-existing, life threatening illnesses” does your average 60-year-old American have? Diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, cirrhosis, bad teeth, jaundice, cancer, blah, blah, blah. We’re all sick and many don’t even know it.

“The flu kills 300,000 - 600,000 a normal season. COVID will go no where near that.”

If you FluBros keep up your nonsense, the US death toll will hit that range, never mind the world death toll.

“The US won’t have even 15,000 die of it.”

We’ll hit 15,000 just from the cases we have confirmed *now* unless they deploy HCQ+AZT immediately, and that won’t save many of the people in critical shape right now, because if you are too far gone it doesn’t help you.

“Not only that, but COVID is causing a NEGATIVE DEATH RATE.”

So what are you complaining about?

Except that’s not true. Fewer people are dying from other causes due to the social restrictions you are so freaked out over. But people are still dying. It is not clear how many deaths are being averted, and I would not be surprised if it were on the same order as those deaths from CCP-19. But the deaths due to most issues are still happening. Fewer car wrecks, and fewer communicable disease deaths. But you have to avert 20 flu cases for every CCP-19 case you allow just to break even.
