What happened to that Italian Doctor on the ground in Northern Italy?
Anyone remember the screen name ? He was reporting on the first wave of COVID outta China, supposedly hitting the elederly Italian population real hard, one of the real early alarmists, way before Journalism was issued their talking points. He started posting maybe first week in February 2020 I think. ANybody remember that dude ? . Was that an early propaganda effort ? Or was he legit ? |

I think he was legit.
The initial wave in Italy was bad. But it also didnt reflect the virus on other populations as a whole. Reasons it was bad there. Lots of Chinese that work in textiles going back and forth to China. Huge viral loads That had a stupid "hug a Chinese" campaign in March 2020. Huge viral loads Lots of old fat retired people in that area...that smoke. Plus the media played it the hell up, making it seem catastrophic, when it really should have just been alarming. |

Italy has an older population and a pretty bad healthcare system. Look at their flu death numbers every year compared to other nearby countries. |

He hasn't posted since 3-12-23.
ETA: I read wrong and thought it was 3-12-22, but it was this year, so he's still around. |

Italy's health system is among the best in the word. That said, the average age is high, you are right on that one. And remember that the way you keep count of people dying from a given disease is not standardized and this way datas can be manipulated for politic reasons |

Man i don't have thr means nor the expertise to give you any number. What i can say is that covid related mortality is hugely overestimated, because here anyone who died with a covid infection was listed as a dead by covid, even if the infection wasn't the main medical condition. The second reason is that incidence was hugely underestimated for obvious reasons. 1919 influenza caused definitely more deaths from the indormations i have |

The american media conveniently left that part out allowing most to believe it was across all age groups which then allowed many to accept the shutdowns. The media did it on purpose as a propaganda machine for the dems influencing the election. Wish we had had more truth tellers like you. |

I don't think using truckloads of antibiotics and steroids would have changed much, probably it would have made things even worse @Lomshek |

Yeah i remember.. maybe he was a nurse, i don't remember well. Btw guys, it's just opinions. I said mine, he said his one. Italian health service is not shitty overall.. it has its faults but for now it manages to guarantee free medical assistance for everyone, even too much medical assistance. I said for now because the situation is not sustainable in my opinion. |

The left ruined our international relations, didn't do anything to control the big immigration issue we are still having (even encouraging it), didn't do shit to fight corruption and taxes evasion, enforced crazy restrictions with covid, etc. I could go on for one hour or two.

Let's put it this way: much better than the alternatives. Of course the inertia of italian politics of last 20 years is there. Italy is a country that, on the contrary to what happened in the past, is slow in changing, in every regard. But she already removed some assistentialist BS that the left set up. |
