Please just stop. Almost all of your posts on the scientific aspects of this have been incorrect.
And your
textbook truism is? Are you serious or not?

Now Trump wants to put troops on the Canadian Border, for fuck's sake! Hey, Donny! Believe me, Canadians do not want to storm the 49th to gobble up your "pay as you go" healthcare system. But if the soldiers will keep Yankees from escaping north, spreading infections and overwhelming our hospitals, they can stand on guard for thee as well.

The problem here (in Italy) is there is NO death AT ALL in the healthy population under 30 years an NO death - period - in population under 20 years.
And these are probably the most infected part of the population 'cause of the socialization aspects of those age groups.
But they aren't.
As of March 26 only 1.2% of cases in Italy are under 18. And 25% of cases are between 19 and 50 years of age.
The rest - 75% ish - are over 50.
So under 30s and under 20s are NOT "the most infected part of the population".
Why must we do this?

So, it looks like the Reagan dream is coming true: Lord Dampnut said again that it would be up to the individual states to get the equipment they need and the role of the federal government is to be a backup and stay in the sidelines. I mean, I get it that it fits with the US concept of what the government's role is and that business and free markets can sort everything out by themselves, but isn't forcing individual states to compete for limited supplies on the open market just going to needlessly drive up prices and screw over the less wealthy states?
Oh well, at least their legislative branch seems to be doing something.

Because they're NOT screening the young people with NO severe symptoms.
NO SCREENING at all outside the hospitals. Of course the numbers are totally "wrong", like the ones of deads with NO test done on the body.
Our physicians can't do that and can't prescribe the test 'cause we have NO test kits outside the hospitals here in Lombardy.
Run out of kits!
Everybody here thinks that the number are totally wrong (virologists too), because we are screening only the ones with an
advanced stage pneumonia symptoms!
Of course we got those elder people numbers but we're totally missing the expression of the infection in young people if not related to some hospitalized old man or woman (parents / grandparents)!
And the "test results" are not even solid evidence about the "real" numbers and the predictions,
we must search for the Ig in the blood to have some solid evidence!

Add the fact that "clinical recovered" patients are NOT virus-free, only "symptoms free"+"negative test result for some days" (no virus in the mouth, can't say anything other! No information about Ig level in the blood! )
So maybe we're injecting infectious people with a subclinical cronic condition in the population (like the young people maybe already are)

All they need to do is get a bunch of people to rush the beaches coughing, then watch everyone clear out of there like a Benny Hill skit.
