Since some people in their 80s died a couple years back (IIRC) then yeah, I guess it's reasonable to presume there's no 80+ people here (though you never know about the lurkers). But yeah.
On the flipside, I've been here since mid teens and I think some have been since early teens if not earlier, so yeah, all ages indeed.

The age range for TTLG members is late teens to late 70s.
Correction: for late 70s read mid 80s.

About the 15%->20% in the "video" about me
Doing the maths the result is that if NOW the "not counted" deaths ('cause of no test done) are 2300 that 15% (deaths/positive tests in Lombardy) becomes 20% ;)
It's a simple equation
(6360+x)/(41007+x)=0.2 being 6350/41007 the lethality here in Lombardy
yesterday.
So it's totally possible. Simple math, no need of (
a complete training in) statistics (got 30 cum laude in this: (

Are they implying that this is something she's doing right now?

Yeah, that was in February, over a month ago, when Lord Dampnut was still boasting what a great job he was doing on the virus, how the virus was totally under control, and that the 15 cases in the US would soon be going down close to zero.
Also, she wasn't suggesting that people should congregate, she was saying that people should be vigilant about the threat on the horizon, but that they shouldn't keep out of Chinatown right now just because Asians live there.

Hey, let's stop with the insults, huh? Next one that comes up gets a week boot.

Can I suggest that we probably don't need daily statistics from Italy too? It's not that I'm unsympathetic, but that's something anyone can get online if they really need it. Plus, it's in Italian which makes it unreadable for most folks here anyway.
