    I've already discussed why we could become Italy, you just aren't listening. The reason Italy is in the shape they are in is because their hospital system is too overwhelmed. They didn't do enough to contain it at the onset. Right now, they have enough ventilators, ICU beds, medical personel to deal with that many sick people at the same time. Again, because you don't understand this concept, your making vague oversimplifications. No guys! Let's listen to the guy whos never worked or managed a hospital and doesn't even have a medical degree. He says the hospital system wont get overwhelmed! Rest assured that this is a recipe for a lot of people dying, quickly. In fact, when you extrapolate John Hopkins data comparing our numbers to Italy’s, their curve looks a lot like ours. So please tell me your opinion on this graph: And newsflash for you, our population within the US isn't that healthy. In fact, Obesity is a risk factor for ICU admision and death with coronavirus, and I don't need to put obesity statistics to you: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6304312/ You may take it as an insult, but frankly were tired of people who keep speaking outside their expertise. They spread false news and are probably the reason this virus is going to spread.

    Don't want to enter the discussion as it's really complex and with multiple possibilities, but.. I can tell you both, living in Italy, that you've a few misconceptions about what happened there, and other data's that are probably wrong (cause it's what the media says about the country, I imagine) Mostly: - Reaction was really not that bad in Italy (consider that I'm usually highly critical of politics and decision.makers here), a lot of measures and the complete block of the Milan zone were taken quite rapidly, when people was still not understanding the problem. I'm actually more worried about the lack, of slow reaction of other european countries, and USA too in part, that had the "luck" to not being hit first (being the precursors it's always harder, you've less data and knowledge) and still were not that fast to get ready. The numbers now says that Italy is a big problem and a big focus, but that's just because was hit first. Unfortunately, I expect worst numbers in other countries that are already ahead of Italy curve (comparing the time-difference) - The medical system in Italy it's one of the few things that still works well, and more than that, it's still open and free for everyone. I was actually more worried about you USA friends that have a different system in which is necessary to pay for some things, when the virus was still not a problem in your territory. Hospital system is overwhelmed in zones where the virus hit the most, but that’s quite normal when a ton of people get sick in a very short time. It’s perfectly normal in the other zones. There’s really no indication that the smoking factor is a direct issue, but even if it’s, the difference between & of smokers in USA and Italy it’s not that big, and there’re a lot of nations that have a lot more smokers than Italy, and that could be in trouble soon.

    Wrong, just wrong. Jesus Christ. You do realize that within 3 weeks we now have 26,909 cases right now within the US? That's going to be 65,000 confirmed cases by next week? That's an insane number of sick people within a short period of time.

    To clarify things a bit, I can occasionally be mildly sarcastic. If you want a bit of a laugh though, look at the About Me on my profile.

    I feel you Magic28, anyone that has been around long enough and does their due diligence in listening to alternative media and examines the facts should easily come to the conclusion that there is more then meets the eyes or ears. Check out QAnon...... Most of the resistors are probably from Cali, New York, Washington or abroad in a country whom has not been red pilled yet. It’s cool... they’ll find out soon. I’m probably one of the old timers on this board and have been through and seen a lot in my life and I can tell you nothing surprises me anymore. We are truly fighting a battle of good versus evil. You will see in time and some may still not want to believe it.

    Probably the most ignorant statement ive read on here. I can tell your not a healthcare worker or even an epidemiologist, but a person who thinks they know more than they do (which ive seen a lot of lately)

    What’s not my decision? I don’t listen to Alex Jones. Simple research shows we’re nothing like Italy. They have the largest population of elderly in Europe. They also are one of the largest smoking populations. Their healthcare is nothing like ours. Their culture is different in the way they greet one another. They also have lax sanitation practices compared to ours. I can list a few other things. So far you’ve brought nothing substantial to this. Just insults and panic. Same **** I see from the people buying up all the toilet paper. So far you are the keyboard warrior.

    Fortunately that’s not your decision to make: since your clueless about epidemiology. so we probably shouldn’t listen to you. Our medical leaders are the ones trying to contain this. Thats because they understand the serious nature. Again, not keyboard Facebook warriors who watch Alex Jones im sorry but people who speak outside their expertise need to be called out on it. id love for you to also knock on Jeff weltman door and tell him how we should be rehabbing Isaac too. I’m sure he’d love to hear your opinion on it

    We’re not Italy Ive been through numerous things. I won’t disclose what I do. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve gathered research before coming to an opinion. There’s not enough here to warrant some of this. And the this I’m referring to is from the citizens who have let media influence this like we’re in the middle of an apocalyptic plague. Its an zoonotic virus. We’ve seen them. They’re all different but the panic, the hoarding of supplies, the curfews, lockdowns, is ridiculous.
