If so, it is yet another example of ‘lies, damn lies and statistics’ and is the reason I do not trust data coming from governments.
JoMa
The numbers always change when they no longer serve the appropriate interests.
Tough pill to swallow that governments lie more than the press does, but there it is.
reminder, tho Bloomberg didn’t acknowledge what this meant - namely the number of Covid-19 fatalities in Italy may be just a fraction of what is being published. it would be a joke if the West wasn’t shutting down their economies:
18 Mar: Bloomberg: 99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness, Italy Says
By Tommaso Ebhardt, Chiara Remondini, and Marco Bertacche; With assistance by Karl Maier, and Alessandro Speciale
The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities, finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.
More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.
The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions...

When this is finally over the American people as well as those the world over will see what a ride we have all been taken for by the shameless media.
Of course the fact the majority of people are only too willing to go along with the bs (so many of them right here) doesn’t help matters.
IT SEEMS THE FACT THAT MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MOVED INTO ITALY OVER THE YEARS WITH NATURAL RESISTANCE TO MANY DISEASES AND THE ITALIANS HAVE NONE. NO ONE IN THE ITALIAN GOV’T RECOGNIZES THAT. WHAT AN INJUSTICE TO THEIR SENIORS.
