    Also, I'd like to hear more from those that have recovered. Were they very sick, were they not sick at all?

    And, I'd like to know more about the cases in Italy, are people's symptoms getting worse - i.e. is the illness mutating. The death rate in Italy is 39% of closed cases, worldwide that is 6% but that is factoring in the Chinese lies, Iranian lies. South Korea is 19%. UK is 25% at the moment. But, is that because we don't consider a person recovered until they test negative etc, or is it because there is something else going on?

    Once I get all these sorts of facts, I can make a decision about whether or not this is something I need to lose sleep over.

    I also think some countries should be left off these stats because their accuracy is in question.
    Italy is on lockdown and you want further proof before you make a decision on whether you should lose any sleep

    Yes, in short. Why should the action of a single Government make me more or less worried than the actual stats.

    For example, someone who tested positive said it was like a cold, another like the flu. The question, why is the death rate so high in Italy is a valid one. Are significantly more older people getting the disease there for example. I could run out and buy loads of loo roll and pasta.

    Italy because they have the oldest population in Europe, 81 average of death rate.

    Just spoke to my mate who lives in northern Italy, he told me the reason why so many old people have died. When they initially shut the schools all the kids went off to stay with their grandparents so the parents could carry on working. Loads got infected this way apparently which explains a lot. We should isolate the oldies now, stay in if your over 65.
