RE:Italy had more than 3.8 million cases in 2018 Flu seasonTrump and many other politicians should let the scientist decide after all when they get sick, they do to the doctors for help and not other politicians. As for Italy I know a thing or two more than you. Covid-19 has overwhelmed the hospitals and now they had to convert a cruise ship to a hospital. Covid-19 mortality is huge among the vulnerable seniors more like 10%. Do we let the seniors go? If yes, the problem is solved. How can we do so it is immoral.
The mistake the world made is not to ramp up production of the test kits and labs and diagnose the whole population. Italy two weeks ago had 200 people with covid-19 now they have 12,000 and counting. Many Nations now have far more than 200 with covid-19 patient and they are heading like Italy disaster. Coid-19 has the incredible exponential growth because many persons are carriers without knowing that they are infecting other for weeks and without showing symptoms. Italy never found person zero the original first carrier. Wh? He or she never got sick.
I am Italian
