#1 I'd be grateful for any informed assessment (a ferocious, convincing dismissal would be nice ;-)) of the disconcerting twitter thread (from one Jason van Schoor, quoting a friend) linked below, mentioned in #27 of this freerepublic.com post. Intro follows:
From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy: 1/ ‘I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what is happening in Italy, and also give some quick direct advice about what you should do.

My heart goes out to the people there, especially the health workers.

Does anyone have any idea why the death rate in Italy appears to be around 5% while it is around 1-2% in the rest of the world, according to the Johns-Hopkins website?

We have a higher than average aged population here in Italy , many many elderly .


There is also a comment about a relatively low number per capita of ICUs (I assume that means intensive care units) in all of Italy. No mention, as far as I scrolled down, of the per capita number of Third World migrants who lack the usual inoculations, and where they are clustered.

That would be why the MSM seems incurious as to why Italy has been hit so hard.
