where? the only thing getting overloaded is hospital emergency rooms as people driven by the excess liberal hysteria going in for testing. There are a lot more flu and colds getting tested

Are you taking only Italy as your example? South Korea’s universal care and competent government management contained their outbreak very well. Government run drive up testing did a great job. There is no evidence our garbage system will have better results.

I was talking about the failures in Italy. They are having to triage patients letting people over 80 die to save younger patients.
Right, which wasn't handled well and nowhere near this big. But more to my point we don't call flu season a pandemic unless a virulent strain like H1N1 comes along. This is a global pandemic which is much more serious than just washing hands. You've put this whole notion down from the start and have put little smiley faces all over my posts. I'm in a country right now that has locked everything down since Friday morning. They are allowing an 8 hour window starting at midnight tonight to allow car travel for those who got stuck somewhere over the weekend. Borders are closed so my Airbnb host is driving me to the airport. Was supposed to catch a bus Friday morning but now am spending several hundred dollars extra to get out of dodge. But they are taking it very seriously with Italy next door. Possibly impacting the U.S. in a similar manner soon.

Surprising low when you compare it to regular flu mortality. Let's hope the numbers keep that way.

Remember how it was a non issue for the media? How many died?

looks like trump was correct in shutting down traffic from europe
Europe now 'the epicenter of the pandemic,' WHO says

And that's assuming China isn't lying about its numbers.

they're closing down the temporary hospitals they built so I think they may be accurate. but if china is lying then our MSM is in cahoots with them
Hopefully more reasonable Europeans will tell the politically correct screamers to shove their open borders up their anuses until this is over.
From NBC just over a week ago:
How the coronavirus is challenging Europe's ideal of open borders
“The Trump administration has imposed travel restrictions on China, where the virus is believed to have originated, as well as Iran, South Korea and parts of Italy.
The E.U. has been far more reluctant to take such measures, vowing to uphold its Schengen Area — the 26 countries that allow travel without a passport — as well as the single market that affords the free movement of people, goods, services and money between member states.
"I welcome ... keeping the borders open and not resorting to what could at this point in time be considered disproportionate and inefficient measures," Stella Kyriakides, the European commissioner for health and food safety, said in a speech last month.”

Better to sell it and buy the good stuff
These numbers are being artificially inflated by the fact that in a lot of areas testing is only being done on those who present with severe symptoms and folks with milder to no symptoms are not being represented. In places like South Korea where widespread resting is being conducted the fatality rate is about .7% vs .1% for the flu. That's still significantly higher, but nowhere near as bad as the fear mongers would have you believe.

You solution would be the equivalent of states shutting down their borders. Not exactly economically practical.

China was slow to quarantine the city of Wu Han, many travelers had already left the area, spreading the illness.
They probably don't need all the new hospitals because most have already died. Not that they would admit it.
It's not part of their culture.
Where as Italy's society is not that closed off.
Their results are probably equal to China.

I'd bet our federal government and agencies are better at outbreak oversight than Brussels is. The Europeans want a state-like relationship between member countries without having adequate measures in place to run it properly.
No the numbers represent deaths from known cases. The Koreans are being proactive and catching cases early to get them treatment. If we don't go to the extent they have we're going to see a huge increase in cases and deaths. And not so easy considering our population size and geographical size.

the facts still speak for themselves 57 deaths and the hospitals are not blown out and overwhelmed with coronavirus patients.
everyone on the liberal side is trying desperately to over inflate the affect of this virus here despite hard evidence to the contrary
