The current sickness which has spread around the world has caused catastrophic consequences in the economy.
But, this is a medical crisis and the concentration must be in finding the sure "medicine" to combat this disease.
By now, the most common advice from the government is to "stay home" in order to avoid the contagious disease.
In Italy and Spain the number of deaths has reached great numbers, and the most common understanding is because the population carries great number of mature people.

The overall mortality rate is always going to depend on the demographics of a population, said Aubree Gordon, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan. In this case, the reported mortality rate is not "age standardized," which is a way to adjust for the underlying demographics of a population, she said.
Given Italy's older population, "you would expect their mortality rate to be higher on average, all else being held equal," compared with a country with a younger population, Gordon told Live Science.
The quote from above is not the entire truth.
The crude reality is that those countries have a great amount of people who smoke and their respiratory system is weak.
Here in the US, the reason for young people who need emergency treatment because the Corona virus infection is because they suffer asthma and other respiratory conditions since birth or... or because they are cigarette and marijuana smokers.
The advice from the government must add four more words for their logo: "Stay home and smoke no more".
If the government is really serious about erasing this dangerous disease, then it is time of a change in our society's behavior.
No more smoking, no more junk food.
The Corona virus look for the weakest points in our bodies and causes great damage to our respiratory and digestive systems, and changing to better health habits will be one of the best arms to eradicate this disease. It is time to set aside the "personal option" about this issue. At the end, the benefit will be for everybody.
