“80,000 Americans died of the flu during the winter of 2017-2018 and nobody batted an eyelash because were were too busy with RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA “collusion.””

True. But then again Italy has more than 4,000 dead already and that is in, what, less than 3 or 4 weeks? The flu doesn’t make Italy’s medical system buckle. They don’t need the army to come in and help move bodies because morgues are overwhelmed during flu season.

It’s theoretically possible we could get a handle on this and that far fewer than 80,000 people will die of the virus. Then again, we might not get a handle on it, and 800,000 or a 1,000,000 or even more could die. This is real. Thank God we’re in America where we at least has something of a fighting chance with our great medical system and industry and a President like Trump.

That figure of deaths in Italy does not include those who have died in Care homes for the elderly....

One family of 8 people in Italy kept there grandfather at home rather than in the Hospital because people cannot contact their ill family member once they’re admitted they are that overwelmed. ...he died from the Corona virus.
