| #13 men don't go to the doctor unless they are in bad shape. Yeah, anything short of actual death, we just walk it off. Stop being a baby! This does hint at yet another reason the numbers are so unreliable. |

| #12 Some said the other day that more men probably died because men don't go to the doctor unless they are in bad shape. So that means the ones that weren't in that bad shape remain uncounted. Ten times seems low. |

| #9 Dunno about Spain, grom. But, according to the article: Italy and Iran reached crisis levels of coronavirus-stricken patients before any other country outside of China. Both countries had joined the "Belt and Road" initiative, which reinforced strong preexisting economic ties. |

| #8 Saw a deal pointing fingers at the Italian textile industry hiring cheap Chinese labor for the Made In Italy tag. Don't know enough about it to recommend that as a contributor. |

| #5 Same. How many “never” get the flu people got a strange one this season? You could ask a crowded room for a show of hands, but we are too hysterical to have those these days. |
