What happens when you ‘but flu’.
From your source.
Anyone find any English confirmation for that report? Would love to know if most of the deaths are Chinese surnames, or if the Chinese simply don't report into the local press.
That cant be correct
This is interesting because so far out of the entire world population only 0.002% have or have had this virus and 0.00009% have died from it. That is an incredibly small number and already anarchy is setting in? My God, what would happen if we had something that was wiping out millions??
Lombardy region is 11 million people. It’s not like plenty of people aren’t dying every day of the year. Actually I just calculated it, natural death rate is 10.4 per thousand per year in Italy (very high rate to begin with) If my Jethro Bodine cyphering is right that is about 315 deaths per day (normal rate). So they have nearly doubled the death rate on a few days. I suspect things have peaked in Italy. Suck it up mortuaries, bury the dead with services to follow when things settle.
Oh wow! “Report says!”
I’ll put this right up there with the Fake News favorite line when attacking Republicans: “Some are saying...”
Just to help put the numbers in perspective - for the 16 million people who live in the north of Italy (the area covered by the first lockdown), a rough average of 440 people die on a given day. This virus, assuming the deaths are mostly in that region, is adding several hundred a day to those numbers. Starts getting easier to understand what happened in Wuhan.
