Italy is a bizarre outlier. Many more elderly infected there than other countries. Corona kills the elderly and the diseased. Not kids.
S Korea 8800 cases, 102 deaths
Portugal 1280 cases, 12 deaths
Iceland 473 cases, 1 death
US 22,177 cases, 278 deaths
Iceland has the highest testing per capita in the world. Very accurate numbers.
S Korea has the third highest testing in the world per capita. Very accurate numbers.
When people focus on Italy, they are focusing on a single outlier. Not scientific. These are CoronaPorn addicts. The numbers are just not that bad. Sorry.
Shutting down the service/educational economy doesn't reduce spread. Community transmission (bars, restaurants, stores, concerts, schools) is very low. READ THE DATA.
Even household transmission is only 10%.

We are destroying our economy and it is not effective in flattening the curve.
This is a travesty.
