Small potatoes compared to the true menace, seasonal flu. Covid-19 shouldn’t even be in the news. Common cold is worse.
Covid is just at the beginning it has barely infected anyone. The flu kills 0.1% or so on average of those who are infected. Covid is currently at 1-2.5%.

Actual death count of Covid is currently low because very few people have been infected. If its gets as widespread as the flu or the cold, then its more than 10 times more deadly than the flu.

Thats why containment is important. If the regular flu killed 1 in a hundred people instead of 1 in a thousand we'd be freaking out about it too.

I am in a really bad mental place I missed the joke sorry.

My grandma had a mini-stroke and is in critical state in Egypt. My Dad is in Qatar (her son), my brother in Saudi, and my Aunt in Saudi (her daughter), and I am in Canada. And travel from/to Egypt and all neighbouring states is banned because of the virus so none of us can be with her. She has 1 nephew and 1 grandkid with her and we feel fucking helpless.

Older population, high percentage of smokers, but overall :boh:
old population, yes. the average age of the deceased people is over 80. not sure about smokers.

italy is 5th in the world when it comes to life expectancy, so it has one of the oldest populations in the world. it's very unlucky that so many old people got infected.

also, quarantine as a precaution measure works.


no newly diagnosed patients in codogno, for 5he first time in 3 weeks if i understood some italian articles correctly.

Best wishes, I hope your grandma recovers, that's terrible. Stay positive, I know it's difficult but hopefully you'll be able to try at least. That can help mentally

Do you have any other relatives that can assist her in Egypt?

If seasonal flu killed 10k people in France then we're yet to see covid kill more. So far it killed 30 in a month, or two.

    how is there such a high mortality rate in Italy? :shifty:
    Probably because 50% of the actual cases haven't been tested or reported. Basically everyone other than footballers and Wuhan Zhang have the virus in Italy.

    he believes that the Clintons invented a machine to control the weather and that they are vampire satanist pedophiles who rape then consume the souls of children. These vampires are widespread throughout the US government and all major media corps.

    Trump, while running for president, appeared on his program.

    i havent looked into his views on coronavirus but im sure he wouldnt miss the chance for a good conspiracy
