More testing would reveal that this thing has already spread like wildfire. It would also reveal the mortality rate isn't all that bad at all.
That would be a great number to have, though, IMO. So we don't repeat a national panic and subsequent economic meltdown next time.

Yea idk why, but Italy is getting hit harder than anyone else. At this point im just starting to believe that something in the Italians' physiology just makes them more susceptible to the virus than everyone else. I know that doesnt make sense, but neither does saying "they just have a lot of old people" either.
I know we struglling with it over here trying to overcome the virus. But whatever happens here will definitely pale in comparison conpared to Italy.

They're totally not though. We even found out many years ago that they burn real easily, too.

None of that really matters if the hospitals cant keep up.

And yet the Chinese have some of the oldest people on the face of the planet and stopped their coronav deaths over night.

Damn, that is near 10% death in cases with outcomes.

They probably had it before the lockdown went into effect
Or you had people moving from one location to another prior to lockdown and thus infecting others they may not have come into contact with before. You would think lockdowns would really only be effective in the early stages not after a virus has significantly spread.

I am surprised Japan isn't doing just as bad
The Japanese people, as a whole, are more disciplined than Westerners. They don't lose their shite if a pandemic requires them to stay off the streets for a few weeks.

Italy’s socialized healthcare is the problem.

Note the amount of influence the United States has had on those two countries compared to Italy over the last 70+ years.

That's the next step I'm sure. To over-spend and fortify hospitals in some way, shape or form. Buy Medical equipment stocks? Is that a good play? Like NYSE: SYK Stryker?

Because everyone in that country is old as frick, average age of that country is 65, that’s why they’re going to have a death toll. 65 and older make up 28% of that country.

Because absolutely nothing has changed since WW II and the Korean War.
Japan owns something like $1.5 trillion of the United States' debt.This post was edited on 3/20/20 at 2:39 pm

We did train a large portion of their medical force, it's true. But I was referring more to the medical equipment and other resources they have been receiving from us due to our large presence there.

Why do people use Italy as an example. That region with the highest case and death rates also had direct flights from Wuhan for Chinese workers. That is the DIRECT link for Italy. It is an outlier. Same with Iran. Iran has many construction projects run by the Chinese.
