This morning I read a report supposedly from the Italian Health Authority that shows 95% of the patients who died due to COVID19 had major underlying medical issues and the Chinese Authorities are reporting similar statistics. It is also critical that we all abide by the social distancing rules to flatten the curve which will not stop the virus but will give time for a vaccine to be found and distributed plus relieve the pressure on the healthcare systems. The US is struggling with testing and containment because we have a private healthcare system all acting independently coupled with each State doing its own thing and no fully centralized authority in control.

I think it depends very much on how you interpret the figures.



"Ricoverati" in Italian means Hospitalised. I don't think anyone with mild symptoms would be in hospital at all. The ones who have mild symptoms are in Home isolation (Isolamento domiciliare)
As at last night there were 17,708 hospitalised plus 2,857 in intensive care, and 22,116 in quarantine at home.
Recovered 6,072 and 4,825 deceased.

In Spain 3 more weeks to go isolated at home!

The statistics say that the average age of dead people affected by Covid 19 in Italy is.... 80 years old! Yes it's true: 80 years old. And on the top of that, 99% of them presented previous health issues,

Very interesting and oh so true.

The problem there is that in this way we are a lot like the EU, which also "suffers" from no fully centralized authority in control. Hence the same lockdowns in some states, and virtually nothing happening in others.

Edwin,

the end of the world, as we know it, will follow lockdown in Wyoming.
As long as Wyoming is as normal all will be well.
