GP: Italy was hit hard with the coronavirus.
Over the past 30 days the country has seen 6,820 deaths in its elderly and afflicted population.
The first deaths were reported back on February 24th — one month ago.
Since then there has been a wave of deaths.
Over 69,000 Italians tested positive for the coronavirus.
But the trend is starting to turn in Italy’s favor.
The past three days have seen a gradual decrease in cases reported. read more
Did/have they learned anything and will they retain the painful lesson and pass it on to future generations??
It’s like any other flu, maybe actually a bit milder for the younger victims, and runs its course the same way the others do.
Warm weather and more of the people engaged in outdoor activities as opposed to close quarter indoor ones brings an end to it, the same way it does every year.
In just a few more weeks, they can get back to hugging Chinese tourists to show how Trump Derangement Syndrome has truly infected Italy.
So – 69,000 tested positive – out of how many tested from a population of 60 Million?
A 10% mortality rate out of those who tested positive seems high, though maybe the dead people had additional issues. The ABSOLUTE mortality rate, however, is about 0.01% which should tend to allay some of the exaggerated fears.
And, more importantly, how does this compare to every other common, run-of-the-mill flu?

Just read on newswire that senate bailout package has provisions to prevent Trump’s hotels from receiving any bailout money.
See, while Burr, feinstein and other seantors are trading on inside info to profit, they want to make sure that while all the other hotels get money from this deal, trump’s hotels suffer greatly. Trump must suffer, while they themselves must profit!
My greatest desire is to see this whole thing go right down the shithole and the country implode and we start over. new gov’t without the communists and the queers. And shutting down the country and locking us in our homes is going to put us halfway there.
When a goodly portion of your elderly population have died (thank you socialistic open borders EU overlords), a steady decline in deaths is easily attainable.
It’s no miracle, it’s simple math.
“while Burr, Feinstein and other Senators are trading on inside info to profit.”
Takes me back 19 years when Congress voted to shield themselves by having proxies trade their stock for them, while they made Martha Stewart their evil insider trading stock bitch for distraction. Lets see, 19 years, hum, yea it was 2001! Try researching their tax records and profits from back then now. Boxer and Pelosi did very well than,,, still it’s never enough.
If we’d start over, we may well end up with a government composed entirely of communists, “queers”, and the occasional Islamist. At least we have some resistance as is. Be careful what we wish for.
Gee, maybe they can start hugging Chinese people again.
