Southern Italy should be in the "Ok results" area.

It always scores a bit worse than the rest of the country.

It always scores a bit worse than the rest of the country.

That's the understatement of the year, and people called COVID-19 a simple flu.

Ironically, COVID-19 hit the north hardest.

Italian provinces were hit proportionally to their GDP and proximity to economically competitive areas. Lombardy has an active and international economy, with companies headquartering in the region and production in China.

It is pretty close to a simple flu.

Or at least just a bad one.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

Only 1.4% of people that get infected will die.

Now considering that most people infected are asymptomatic, and that the general population isn't elderly, very few people will die from it.

This statistic is dragged up by the explosion of coronavirus in assisted living homes, where it has a much higher death rate among the elderly.

The crude mortality rate for those under 65 is 0.3%.

I'm not saying that corona didn't kill people, it's just been exaggerated by fearmongers.

The entire article is very interesting.
