March 17, 2020 [Note: America in ‘locked down’: Day 5.]
The
government of Italy, as everyone knows, has locked down the whole
country of 60 million people. So how many Italians have died from
COV? Even by the standards of the useless and misleading diagnostic
tests?
Ready?
As far as the Italian Higher Institute of Health knows, at this point:
Maybe two.
Maybe.
Try to wrap your mind around that.
Good luck.
Seems
the president of the Italian Higher Institute has some smarts. He
understands that people who already have other serious health
conditions, which have nothing to do with COV, can and do die from those
other conditions, regardless of the fact that they’ve tested positive
(on useless tests) for COV. He gets it. I predict a great future for
him. If he keeps shooting his mouth off, he might find himself working
as a weed puller in a forest. Or he might suddenly be diagnosed with the
virus and find himself in isolation.
Grit your teeth and plow through this piece from Rome, 13 March 2020, Agenzia Nova: "Coronavirus: ISS [Italian National Institute of Health]: in Italy there are only two deaths ascertained so far due to Covid-19"
“There
may be only two people who died from coronavirus in Italy, who did not
present other pathologies. This is what emerges from the medical records
examined so far by the Higher Institute of Health, according to what
was reported by the President of the Institute [Istituto Superiore di
Sanità (ISS), Italian National Institute of Health], Silvio Brusaferro,
during the press conference held today at the Civil Protection in Rome.
‘Positive deceased patients have an average of over 80 years - 80.3 to
be exact…The majority of these people are carriers of chronic diseases.
Only two people were not presently carriers of [other non-COV]
diseases’, but even in these two cases, the examination of the files is
not concluded and therefore, causes of death different from Covid-19
could emerge. The president of the ISS has specified that ‘little more
than a hundred medical records’ have so far come from hospitals
throughout Italy.”
“...At
present, in fact, the authorities are unable to distinguish those who
died from the virus, from those who, on the other hand, are communicated
daily to the public, but who were mostly carriers of other serious
diseases and who, therefore, would not have died from Covid-19. In
response to a question from ‘Agenzia Nova’, in fact, Brusaferro was
unable to indicate the exact number of coronavirus deaths. However, the
professor clarified that, according to the data analyzed, the vast
majority of the victims ‘had serious [non-COV] pathologies and in some
cases the onset of an infection of the respiratory tract can lead more
easily to death.’ To clarify this point, and provide real data, ‘as we
acquire the folders we will go further. However, the populations most at
risk are fragile, carriers of multiple diseases’.”
Translation
into non-medical language: the people dying in Italy have other very
serious traditional diseases that have nothing to do with COV, and it’s
obvious they could have died, and probably did die, from those other
diseases. Nevertheless, we’re locking down the whole country.
So,
for those people straining to find a reason for the “devastation”
overtaking Italy---it’s karma for ancient Rome trying to conquer half
the known world; it’s the ghost of Martin Luther obtaining revenge
against the Vatican; it’s a bioweapon with the power to cut down
millions of people overnight; it’s a virus that came in with a small
meteor and crashed outside Milan; it’s Chinese revenge against Marco
Polo for stealing the concept of noodles---
Take
a break, relax, have a plate of pasta, turn on the TV, and because all
the stadiums are empty, watch a rerun of a soccer match from 1979.
PS:
For those people who believe this head of the Italian Institute is
lying with his facts and figures, stop and think it through. He’s going
to announce such devastating news that essentially contradicts
everything the Italian government is doing with its lockdowns and
quarantines of the whole country? It would be as if the director of the
Centers for Disease Control announced, “There are a total of nine deaths
in the US we think might have been caused by COV, and even there we’re
not sure, because you see, these nine were elderly people who could
barely get out of bed long before COV emerged. These nine had extremely
serious lung disease NOT CAUSED, I repeat, NOT CAUSED by COV…but anyway,
don’t go outside, work from home, don’t touch another human being,
watch our website for bargain deals on toilet paper, and oh yes, don’t
forget to get your regular flu shot if you can slip into a hazmat suit
and drive at breakneck speed to your nearest pharmacy, where injection
clerks are waiting...”
