Just pure frustration...
A friend of mine, a doctor over at University Hospital, told me that we’ve actually seen more fatalities recently because people aren't getting the proper treatment or surgeries they need, all thanks to the sheer panic surrounding Covid.
There's an article suggesting that in Italy, 99 percent of deaths were tied to at least one other underlying diagnosis, where the average age was 80 and was essentially neglected.
All anyone does is quote these apocalyptic numbers and treat people like cattle.
I honestly doubt we'll even hit that 16k mark in Italy, which is what you'd normally see for a standard flu season.
That's assuming they are only counting direct deaths and hospitalizations from the flu, rather than those who had three other conditions and the flu just accelerated their passing. Just like they did with Covid.
The case of that 21-year-old athlete from Spain a few days ago is the perfect example of how panic spreads and how the media reports on how fear is growing among the public.
