In a small town in Italy, they tested everyone and quarantined all positives, including asymptomatic. There was no more transmission. In South Korea, they've tested a lot, and quarantined all positives including asymptomatic. Etc. |
Most of the younger people who have died from this had other underlying conditions. And even at this it is still mostly old people dying on that manner. Average age reports of over 80. Very very few healthy young people with no other underlying conditions have died from this. |
You know people with underlying conditions can hear you, right? |
Sure, the point is not to diminish the deaths. It is that the scare factor is greatly exaggerated. If we didn’t have every tom, dick and harry with a minor cough running to hospitals thinking they’re going to die, they might be better positioned to serve the elderly and those with underlying conditions who are actually at threat from this virus. |

"Everyone dies alone" https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-everyone-dies-alone-heartbreak-at-the-italian-hospital-on-the-brink-of-collapse-11961130 |
If that video doesn't scare you, PP above, then you are not human. |
Have you ever been to a hospital? Freaky looking stuff happens every day. It’s just not blasted in the media over and over. |
The excess mortality rate for many of the “hardest hit” countries in Europe show negligible if any uptick in deaths vis a vis similar periods in previous years. We just didn’t have video and imagery blasts from hospitals during those periods. This is a sad situation, for sure. But it’s maddening that the hype has made it much much worse than it needed to be and contributed to overwhelming some hospital systems. |
Can you provide data to back it up? Since this is a new disease, those are all new deaths. You need to carry a form to go out buy groceries in Italy. Without this type of lockdown, the number of deaths could be even higher. The death rate for Covid-19 is 1.3% for USA and 8.5% for Italy. The flu has a death rate of 0.1%. |
You didn’t watch the video did you. Confess. |
So let those who are not young and in perfect health eat cake, right Trumpster? |
+1 The heartless meanderings from ignorant magats is just so disgusting. |
so you just don't care that people are being turned away from hospitals because there aren't enough beds. And those beds are NOT being taken by people with a cough. The doctors would not allow that. It is a problem when the number of people who need ventilators is larger than then number available. How can you not see this? |
New disease does not necessarily mean new death (i.e. death that would not have happened but for corona) because there are confounders. In one Italian study 99% of deaths were patients that had one or more comorbidities. The rates you cite are far too high. Remember, only the symptomatic and worst cases are even being tested right now due to short supply of tests. There are plenty of people walking around with CV who have not been tested for it and probably never will be. Positive tests are over represented currently, and probably rightly so. These are released weekly. Nothing is airtight with ANY data set coming out right now, because of the mania, but this does give some pause. https://www.euromomo.eu/index.html |
