Coronavirus: Facts vs. Panic Just the News ^ | March 13, 2020 | Sharyl Attkisson
"Q: Why have there been so many coronavirus deaths in Italy?
A: Italy has reported 827 coronavirus deaths. Experts say the high number is partly because Italy has more residents in the vulnerable age category. Italy has the oldest population in Europe and more elderly per capita than the U.S. [emphasis added] Most of the Italian deaths are in patients in their 80s and 90s. In addition, Italy has a great number of direct China contacts. Italy was the first to join China's "silk road" economic partnership project. The coronavirus is believed to have originated in China. Italy's 827 deaths are out of a population of 60 million people. Even though one death is too many, it is still a small relative number."
Consider that Coronavirus precautions are also helping to stop the flu.
Be advised, the system in Lombardy is superior to ours.
I would like to see people BELIEVE that this is real. There are going to be at the least regional quarantines. Heck there ALREADY ARE. If the virus gets out of control in your area are you going to be part of the problem or part of the solution?

And the lowest fertility on the planet.
Well, the CDC has displayed Top Down Central planning protocol
Yes, a good read. My only comment is why did he publish it in Newsweak?
With April fast approaching the cure is at hand.
It will come in the form of economic data that shows the US entering a recession.
Soon thereafter, the Coronavirus panic will end. Maybe gradually, maybe in a micro-second.
Then, the new story covered 24/7 will be Trump’s recession and how his economic policies caused it. Magically, the panic will be declared over. We will be declared “over the hump.”
Deaths, what deaths?
It’s the economy, stupid.
Half of this thread reminds me of the Chinese government’s reaction to the first doctor to sound the alarm.
Despite everyone telling you countless times what the danger is you still refuse to even mention it.
The DANGER as pointed out in this article IS the overwhelming of the health care system BY too many critically ill people.
WHEN the system is overwhelmed then NOT only will the deaths by corona increase BUT the deaths by EVERY OTHER AILMENT THAT requires a hospital. Car crashes. Drug overdoses. Appendix bursts. EVERY OTHER AILMENT.
This IS happening in Italy. This IS happening in Iran. This WAS happening in China. This WILL happen everywhere where people act like you and don't take any action.
Yes, I’m with you. And you know the Italian penchant for drama anyway!
Its reality.
We need to deal with it.
Decisively
Still don’t give a f#$k.
I swear, a meteor could be heading directly for the earth, and some people would accuse the astronomers of “trying to make Trump look bad.”
I believe he can. The European travel ban doesn’t apply to U.S. citizens.
Trump's fault. He appointed Newt's wife Ambassador to Vatican City.
That is exactly right. And many of the fools here at FR fell for it.
Then you're either ignorant or selfish. You're either so totally delusional that you can't face reality OR you're so selfish that you'd rather watch your country burn down just so you can keep doing whatever you want to.
Italy has been loaded with Chinese workers who routinely traveled home to China as part of work ( clothing factories in China) , and traveled home for Chinese new year.
