[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Italy the hospitals are near the breaking point. It is spreading like wild fire. Wake up. 
A first step to stem the tide of this virus is to close schools. People need to start preparing for this, and the local government needs to put a plan in place for parents who need help with food and child care.
We can?t just bury our heads in the sand.[/quote]

There are so so many old people in Italy though, and they largely live at home and move around a lot.  Here in the US they are mostly in nursing facilities and not very mobile.[/quote]
What you're describing suggests that overall Italian seniors are healthier than American ones. Should that not worry us more?[/quote]

Those seniors are routinely exposed to many more circulating viruses is the takeaway.[/quote]

And generally have little to no vaccinations. Studies have shown that there is residual immunity to other diseases with vaccination in that your body is better able to recognize invaders and destroy them earlier. Nutrition also plays a big part. This virus apparently depletes potassium so people who weren't low to begin with are faring better. Vitamin C is also helping critical patients.

Everything here is fortified. Most people take supplements. [/quote]
