See it’s tweets like this that got people panicking becuz numbers don’t tell the whole story. The US should have way more cases than Italy becuz NYC alone has half the population all of Italy does. Which means the US should be on pace for way more deaths. But it isn’t. Being on the same trajectory as Italy says way more about them than us

Their healthcare system is better than ours too. What the hell are we going to do?

I don’t know much about their healthcare system. How is it better?

They were older with multiple health conditions one of whom had emphysema. In a city of 8 million plus and a state of 19M, let's relax.

I know... I'm just saying that's alot of people infected and we don't even have test kits to test everyone in the 5 boroughs.... It's very unsettling...

They have a national free health care system and are still catching hell, meanwhile we have to pay for ours. I just don’t like those odds.

It’s from End Of Days: Predictions And Prophecies About The End Of The World, a 2008 book by self-professed psychic Sylvia Browne.

you can even see in the second photo the cover is different

meh i work in a hospital just last a month a 25 year old healthy male died of pneumonia

so just like the regular flu its rare as hell

The study identified very few deaths among people under 40. More than 12,000 people in that age group were infected, but only 26 died. It is unclear if those people had other medical conditions, such as asthma or cancer, that may have made them more vulnerable.

here were no reported deaths from COVID-19 in children under 10, and other studies have suggested that children who are infected do not become very sick.

These are the COVID-19 mortality rates by age calculated by the Chinese CDC:

• ages 10-19: 0.2%
• ages 20-29: 0.2%
• ages 30-39: 0.2%
• ages 40-49: 0.4%

I think everyone agrees those numbers are hopeful for those age brackets, but do the math if the infection rate is 40-70% of the population. That # is still is a very high number and it's no comparison to the flu/

This thread is proving informative. .. cats are curating sources/articles and offering their opinions without the super shyt show social media is being right now.

Yea, there's a lot of misleading info out there.

I think it’s slower here because the u.s. has a lot more land ..it’s easier to spread in a smaller country like Italy let’s hope anyway

Free don’t necessarily mean better tho

It’s a real eye opener to read how poor people really are when they rely on school meals for their kids.

Shame on America....
