Always gloom and doom, huh?

Keeping it real, however you want to
interpret it.

No, I'm just saying that all we usually hear is bad news. The OP here is the only good I have heard.

3.4% mortality rate.

That means if every American caught it
over 10 million would die.

Laugh it up kids.

No...moron....we don't know what the mortality rate actually is here in the States because we don't know how many people actually have it......and Italy, Iran and China are not accurate measures because they are not the U.S.........in any way, shape or form.....

Yes....China is a communist crap hole......whose idea of virus prevention was forcing people, at gun point into buildings and sealing those buildings up.....

So please, don't use them as a measure for the U.S...

Italy?

The 2nd oldest population in the world after Japan, and they have over 300,000 Chinese nationals in their country because they are kissing up to China and letting China buy up everything not nailed down...also....they haven't had a functioning government since they hanged mussolini from the light post....

Iran And Italy Are Paying A Hefty Price For Ties With Communist China

What many people find shocking is that Italy and Iran are the second- and third-hardest hit nations in this outbreak.

By any common-sense measure, both countries should have much lower numbers of confirmed cases and deaths because they are geographically far from the epicenter of the outbreak. The reason these two countries are suffering the most outside China is mainly due to their close ties with Beijing, primarily through the “One Belt and One Road” (OBOR) initiative.

What Has Happened in Italy
Italy’s economy has been struggling for two decades. It has seen three recessions in 10 years. Its unemployment rate stood at 10.3 percent, and its youth unemployment rate was 33 percent as of 2018. According to Marco Annunziata of Forbes, the living standards in Italy today are roughly the same as they were 20 years ago because very little growth has occurred.


Italy’s economic woes are caused by aging industries, ruinous regulations (especially its overly rigid labor laws), an inefficient banking system, high levels of corruption, and constant political turmoil. From 1946 to 2016, Italy had 65 governments. No matter who was in charge, he lacked resolve to implement serious structural reform and deregulation to boost the economy.

Instead, every one of the 65 governments hoped they could spend their way out of an economic mess. Italy’s debt burden as a percentage of annual economic activity measured by GDP is at 132 percent as of 2018, the second highest in the EU, only slightly better than Greece.

The most recent political upheaval in Italy took place in May 2018. Weeks after an election, the anti-establishment groups and pro-EU lawmakers failed to produce a new coalition government. The final compromise resulted in a virtually unknown law professor, Giuseppe Conte, becoming the new prime minister.

Like his predecessors, Conte has been unwilling to implement any structural reform. Instead, he sought an “easy” way out. Almost exactly a year ago in March 2019, against warnings from the EU and the United States, Italy became the first and only G7 country to sign onto OBOR. As part of the deal, Italy opened an array of sectors to Chinese investment, from infrastructure to transportation, including letting Chinese state-owned companies hold a stake in four major Italian ports. The deal gave communist China a foothold in the heart of Europe, but Conte downplayed it as “no big deal at all.”

5 Things To Know About Italy And The Coronavirus

But is Italy comparable to the United States? Perhaps, but here are five things to keep in mind.

1. The Italian Healthcare System Is Weak

According to Johns Hopkins rankings, Italy was ranked 53rd in the world under “Sufficient & Robust Health System To Treat The Sick & Protect Health Workers.” The U.S. is ranked number one.

The nation’s “overall” health score is 31st in the world, whereas the U.S. is, again, the top ranked nation.

2. Italy Has The Second-Oldest Population In The World

Data from a United Nations report published in 2015 showed that the Italian population was the second-oldest in the world, second only to Japan.
----
“The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5,” Bloomberg News reported Wednesday. “As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.”

3. Italy Was Hardest Hit In Lombardy, Where There Are Direct Ties To Wuhan

“Almost exactly a year ago in March 2019, against warnings from the EU and the United States, Italy became the first and only G7 country to sign onto OBOR (One Belt One Road),” The Federalist outlined this week. “As part of the deal, Italy opened an array of sectors to Chinese investment, from infrastructure to transportation, including letting Chinese state-owned companies hold a stake in four major Italian ports. The deal gave communist China a foothold in the heart of Europe.”

Yes...we will.........

Looks like a lot of folks got over it.

Yes, but how many recovered because of proper medical care? How many did not recover, and required medical care? This is the concern.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So unless you are one of those you have nothing to really be concerned about except a cough and fluish symptoms...

What?!?! So dumb.
