Italy Says 96% of Virus Fatalities Suffered From Other Illnesses
By: Tommaso Ebhardt and Marco Bertacche, MSN, May 26, 2020:
(Bloomberg) — The coronavirus outbreak in Italy has struck overwhelmingly among the nation’s older population and those with preexisting medical conditions, according to the national health authority.
Story continues below advertisementAlmost 96% of the country’s virus fatalities had previous medical conditions, data from Italy’s ISS health institute show. The ISS, which publishes a range of studies on the outbreak including a detailed weekly report, confirms a trend seen since the beginning of the emergency, with the average age of Italians who’ve died from the virus at around 80.
“The latest numbers show that new cases and fatalities have a common profile: mostly elderly people with previous illnesses,” ISS chief Silvio Brusaferro said at a news conference Friday.
With over 32,000 deaths and more than 230,000 cases, Italy was the original European epicenter of the pandemic. The country began emerging from a nationwide lockdown on May 4, when about 4 million people went back to work.
Most shops, bars and restaurants were allowed to reopen two weeks later with distancing rules, and Italians are again allowed to travel freely — but only within their home regions.
The government has pledged to allow full free movement from June 3. But with some areas still seeing hundreds of new cases a day, Premier Giuseppe Conte may keep borders closed in the northern regions of Lombardy and Piedmont, newspapers including Corriere della Sera reported Tuesday.
Government officials and health experts also fear that young people may have gotten the message that they’re not at risk from the pathogen. After throngs of them gathered in squares and nightlife districts over the weekend, many not respecting rules on social distancing or use of masks, local officials have begun weighing moves to limit large groups. Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala banned sales of takeout drinks after 7 p.m.
Although the average age of virus cases is 62 years old, about 30% of those infected are under 50. Still, fatalities point to a wider generation gap. ISS analysis shows that as of May 25 only about 1.1% of virus fatalities have been under 50 years of age and more than 57% were over 80. Nearly half of new cases in May were registered at nursing homes.
Unexplained DeathsThe most recent ISS weekly study, based on a sample of about 10% of fatalities until May 21, also showed that just 124 victims, or 4.1% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost 60% of victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fifth had two conditions.
More than 68% had high blood pressure, about 30% had diabetes and 28% suffered from heart disease, according to the report.
Official figures may not capture the full picture: many patients that died in their homes may not have been tested. Several studies have shown a surge in fatalities in the country, especially in the north, at a rate higher than what official Covid-19 figures indicate.
Italy had 11,600 more “unexplained” deaths in the first quarter compared with previous years, none of which were registered as Covid-19 fatalities, according to a joint report by ISS and national statistics office Istat.
Italy’s INPS social security administration also estimated 18,971 “excess” deaths in March and April, coming on top of official Covid-19-linked fatalities.

That’s what we were saying before the really smart guys looked at the data.

When we stopped using these exaggerated models, and used our own data, the truth trickles out.

The mortality rate isn’t as high as the fake news claims, either. CDC is posting VERY different numbers. Scroll down to the bottom of the first chart and see how few have died during the past week:

Perhaps CNN’s ‘Our Two Fredo’s’ comedy couple can make light of those deaths as well as the 6,000 in NY nursing homes ?!!

From where did you get your medical degree, Skippy? Covid-19 is a form of Corona virus–you know, one of the viruses responsible for the common cold. See it and weep:

As I suspected, Dr. Skippy, you have no evidence. You just pull factoids out of your ass so you can troll blogsites…

Gov. Fredo must be mad that Gov. Half-Whit in Michigan put a COVID (+) patient in one of her nursing homes, a 20-something year old punk that beat the crap out of a veteran and stole the poor guys cash and credit cards. Why didn’t Gov. Fredo think of that first ??? Gov. Fredo could have added injury to massive grand-scale insult…..

This was nothing more than global chicanery and it worked! It’s just another way of leveling the west down and impoverishing us all. Taxing people to death was taking too long.

Yes, and that’s the very reason that when I first heard about this, it was “Impeachment V.3”. We need a better name, impeachment was a method. I think, “Get Trump” (Get Smart, Maxwell Smart, tv) might do. Get Trump! V.3. ™℗ The thing is, is that this is very serious business. Yes, the ratings are through the roof! “Ain’t that America?”
GET TRUMP! (NOW) V.0
Russian Collusion V.1
The Impeachment Show V.2
Chinese Virus Apocalypse V.3.0

The truth about this disease is harder to learn than advanced biochemistry. Even with a degree the government hides the facts about those who died so you still lack the facts.

Look at the medicine. our bodies are used to immunity. we need to get rid of masks that only circulates our own germs and makes us sicker. we can all agree BG is the mad scientist. I truly hope governments of various countries, question him and his ethics and go after him and also his cronies. I don’t believe his kids are his kids. His wife looks m2f transgender like Nicole Kidman!!! and other actresses Joan Crawford and Katherine Hepburn built like men..wtf….

Its a damn shame that Epstein didn’t wait until April to off himself, then his death could have also been attributed to the CV.

When will the Italians demand reparations from the CCP who created and deliberately spread the CCP Virus in Italy? Will 40,000 deaths and hundreds of billions in economic losses go uncompensated? The Italians can begin by seizing all CCP assets in China. When I speak of CCP assets I mean all Chinese assets as the CCP owns all assets nominally held by any ChiCom person or entity.

The CDC needs to look at this info and make the proper corrections in US data.
