Doctors in northern Italy say they could soon be forced to decide who will live and who will die, as intensive care units become overwhelmed. #Coronavirus mortality rate in Lombardy is now over 8% - likely higher than Wuhan.

It’s almost exclusively the elderly who are dying from this.

and yet Trump is still allowing flights to land here from there..No ban Like China or Iran

I have been screaming for weeks on here to stop the flights from there

Isreal now says anyone coming into the country from anywhere must quarantine for 14 days...that is the way to do it

It’s the Soylent Green virus, ridding nations of their pesky old people, right after they were flooded with young Muslim migrants. The Eugenics crowd can’t be unhappy about this.

the luxury garment brands in Italia brought in all those cheap, Chinese immigrants to work the plants and now they are paying the price...

My tracking of death rate, dead/(dead+recovered), had been running below 6% since 3/3.

It’s 6.2% right now.

Hopefully that’s a fluke.

So?? Does that mean if you are 25 with the virus you should just go around all over the place infecting people until it hits someone over the age of... what???

And what about those younger who get it..like the 32 year old Asian medical professional who needs hospilitization and keeps those beds away from others...

and what about the long term effects after recovering

but hey ..go spread around to your elderly relatives. Social Security and Medicaid probably need less of them.

Check out, if you can find it, WHO’s assessment that Italy’s healthcare system is second only to that of France.

Makes one wonder what WHO’s criteria were.

Take this with a HUGE grain of salt since the commentary is coming out of Russia but here goes...the lady who does my sisters facial is Russian, she has known her for many years, she watches Russian TV..they keep on saying that the virus was created to kill the elderly, that is why the majority of those who have died are in their late 60s-90s..this was China’s way of getting rid of a population that is costing them too much money..is it true, who knows but that is what they are saying in Russia

What kind of math is it to say an increase from 168 to 631 is “36%”?

They have had 2 cases as far as I know, they nipped this virus in the bud, no one allowed out and no one allowed in
