There are so relatively few deaths that they are really in “anecdotal” territory. This thing can burn through a nursing home and make it look like mortality rate is high when it’s only people living in nursing homes that have a high mortality rate. This is basically what I think happened in Kirkland (Seattle area).
Wonder if it’s the same exact strain as what was in China.
Spanish flu mutated in the middle of the outbreak in 1918 and became deadlier.
“t’s the Soylent Green virus, ridding nations of their pesky old people”
I have been saying this for weeks. Countries are solving their pension and medicare debt crisis. Don’t think for an instant this is not looked upon as a benefit by the elites.
If previously 10 had died and now 5 more died, it is 50% increase in deaths.
I think you are onto something there in its customs. Maybe Marco Polo brought back some long dormant strain that was activated by this one. Who knows.
I don’t believe its higher than Wuhan. Italy is the first country with honest reports.
but remember China also built two huge hospitals with ICU equipment to handle the overflow...they have people in triage in Italy.
There is a thread here on FR, 180 N. Korean soldiers dead from Corona virus (Wuhan Bioweapons Lab Flu)
“It’s almost exclusively the elderly who are dying from this.”
Not exclusively, but clearly at a much, much higher rate. That said, why is that acceptable? These are people who have worked their entire lives, to then get taken out by a virus in their golden years? It’s horrible.
We have a bunch of self centered, self absorbed a-holes here, is what we got!
Yes I know that
why not Italy?
Math doesn’t lie and exponential growth will eventually get your full attention.
Duh...it is the new math. You must be old.
WOw...Rocketman must be in a bunker somewhere
wouldnt that be something if this took out RocketMan and the Supreme Leader of Iran.
Stop dissing FDR Democrats! /womp womp>
China actually has an aging population as a result of their decades of one-policy. Add to that the fact that huge numbers of girls were aborted because the Chinese value males more highly and you have a lack of “breeding stock,” so to speak, and men have a great deal of difficulty finding wives. The new policy is 2 children, btw, but it can’t undo decades of below replacement rate.
So there’s no new generation of slaves coming up to replace the aging one. Older Chinese are expected to work longer and I think they’ve experimented with relocating slaves from other parts of the country to work in the factories, etc.
So I don’t think they’re intentionally killing off their older population, because they still need them.
I am Italian my relatives tell me that the population in Italy s very elderly overall!!!
Are old Italians kosher?
Some of them but so are some Italics.
