With only about 60% as many cases as in China, the actual number of deaths EXCEED those in China by about 800. Not doing something right.

My guess is that the numbers quoted by China are no where near accurate.

You may be right about that. Still, Italy seems to be way worse than everywhere else, at least when it comes to mortality rate.

Italy just called out the military to enforce the lockdown

EDIT: Lombardy the epicenter of the epidemic is where 100 soldiers will help enforce the lockdown, not all of Italy as my statement alludes to.

Great discussion gents. Too many unknowns to predict where this will go and how long it will last. So many varying opinions on the lethality and contagiousness of this disease. As previously mentioned, we can only take care of ourselves and our families. Many things, including disease, kill Americans everyday in large numbers. The press is bashing the gov’t for lack of medical supplies and equipment. No one builds a church for Easter Sunday, and the same can be said for the medical world and its supply chain. We are all playing the hands we are dealt and hope that our elected representatives make good decisions. Hopefully we will be surprised that these extreme measures pay off in the end.

On a lighter note, check out this George Carlin comedy routine regarding germs.
