The WHO ranks the U.S. in the 30s, why? Because we don’t have universal healthcare.

As of yesterday, Massachusetts had 41 cases. 32 were from the Biogen weapon, 4 imported from Italy, 5 being investigated.

I saw your argument over stocks/shorts Sunday night. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory.

Hill & Bill live in Westchester County. They should be recruited to volunteer in the COVID-19 containment center.

Do those figures include the Island of Sicily?

Interestingly, cases are almost exclusively in the north of Italy. There are a mere 54 cases in Sicily.

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

Ok - so you get it and are an asymptomatic viral shedder (which apparently 20% are). You go over to grandma's house. She gets it and dies...because they are dying at the rate of 10-14%.

But hey - you're ok. It was her time.

You "it's only the elderly" people are really fine folks.

IF the elderly get a case of the flu they can pass away that is what happens when you are elderly, I am 67 and I am in very good health HOWEVER I am also very careful about my my health but I also know I can’t be protected from every damn thing that comes around it is the cycle of life!!!

[VanDeKoik]

I dont get why the headline represents that number as a % instead of an actual number?

[calenel]

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

Yeah, so who cares, right?

Because the % feels like a more alarming headline than the actual number.

[TangledUpInBlue]

Like 99%

“I am Italian my relatives tell me that the population in Italy s very elderly overall!!!”

All of Western Europe. That’s why they tried to import a new tax base (how’s that workin’ out?)
