Seems every one of the many articles tallying Italy’s deaths due the virus rings up numbers, but never do they tell us the condition of the victims.

We know there is a large quantity of Chinese working in Italian factories that were purchased by Chinese interests, and we know Italy is a graying society so we are left to guess who is dying. Is it the Chinese factory workers, or the graying society, or both, or none of the above?

It would help to know.

I saw the set up hospital rooms on news reports where they were caring for patients, they were pretty bad AND did not look very sanitary, I thank God every day I was born in the good old USA!!!!

Yes. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 Chinese living in Italy. How many of them have been victims?

I suspect that they're pretty busy. We might see record keeping neglected here soon enough, too. The epidemic is about to blow up real good here in the States, unless we can slow it down.

By the way, I have some inside word on food and paper products in stores. Those items are produced here, in the U.S.A. About 7 weeks ago, stocking up for 2 months was a good way to go.

Now, though, the stores are full of the virus. There far more cases than have been found so far (two weeks ahead of what we think, as per Dr. Fauci). Buying only enough to stock up for about a week or two is better now, for those who didn't do it 6 or 7 weeks ago.

Wear gloves when out and about, if you have them. Pay careful attention to how you take the gloves off afterwards (use each glove to pull the other glove inside-out). Wash your hands before and after wearing the gloves.

Use your own bathroom before going out. Bathrooms in stores will be...well, you know, deadly.

Make your own masks. Don't listen to the hysterical claims and false marketing messages about those. A poorer mask is better than none. Just make sure that you can breathe well enough through it and won't suffocate.

It will slow down the micro-mist that comes out of you when breathing. Used properly (use your head), it will keep other people around you from getting infected to whatever extents. It's all about decreasing the viral load that goes into your body, your car or your home.

Just remember to clean it immediately (at home) after every use, and *don't touch it while wearing it.* When done with a cloth mask, put it in a bag for the laundry. Then wash your face and hands or take a shower if possible. Undress at the door at home first. Put the laundry in a tub full of soap and water on the porch before that. I don't have time for more about that, but you can think and figure it all out.

Oh, and be nice and polite when out and about with a mask on. Don't give anyone an excuse to think you're some kind of thug or maniac. And some of you folks in the West, okay it with the local store management first. Some of the stores forbid wearing masks (robberies in the past).

We're Americans. Let's act like it and beat this thing.

A Bloomberg article said the average age was 79.5 and 99% had other health problems, diabetes, heart disease, etc.

There was an article earlier today about the condition of those who died in Italy only “from COVID.”

It was two.

The median age of the dying, reported yesterday, is 80.
