Italy coronavirus deaths rise by record 475 in a day
The number of people dying from coronavirus in Italy has risen by 475 in one day to nearly 3,000 - the biggest increase since the outbreak.
There are a total of 35,713 confirmed cases in the country, with more than 4,000 having successfully recovered. Lombardy, the worst-hit region, recorded 319 deaths in one day. Italy is the world's worst affected country after China, where the virus originated last year. At least 8,758 people have died, most in China. The vast majority of the more than 200,000 confirmed cases - 80% - have occurred in Europe and the Western Pacific region, which includes much of Asia, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. -
Coronavirus: Italy's death toll overtakes China's
Coronavirus has killed more people in Italy than in any other country, after deaths there rose by 427 in a day.
The number of deaths now stands at 3,405, which is more than in China where the virus originated last year. There have been 3,245 reported deaths in China, but there have been questions over the reliability of its data. A lockdown imposed on 12 March in Italy has been extended beyond the original 25 March end date. Nearly all Italians have been told to stay at home. Despite these measures, the number of new cases and deaths has continued to spiral. There have been 220,000 cases of the virus worldwide with more than 9,000 deaths. -

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how to take this... Many people "die from the flu" actually die from pneumonia, not the flu. But, I'm guessing they might never have gotten pneumonia had they not already been weakened by the flu... so which is really to blame?

Exactly. Sounds like the HIV/AIDS thing. HIV never kills you, it just makes you weak so that ANYTHING else kills you.
Bullets don't kill you, it's the loss of blood.

COVID-19 is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It can kill on its own as it is a respiratory illness. But for anyone without other health issues, those respiratory effects are typically not life threatening. Note, the "typically" thre, because like any illness, it can affect some in extreme ways.

@scottalanmiller Mississippi will be next. A lot of people here think it's a conspiracy to hurt Trump during the election or to take away freedoms, etc. People I would otherwise consider somewhat intellectual people. It's wild.

None of the intellectual people that I know would involve themselves in anything near scump.
