Truth begins to leak out in Italy.
ROME, Italy (PNN) - March 18, 2020 - The government of Italy, as everyone knows, has locked down the whole country of 60 million people. So how many Italians have died from coronavirus? Even by the standards of the useless and misleading diagnostic tests?
As far as the Italian Higher Institute of Health knows, at this point… maybe two.
Maybe.
Try to wrap your mind around that.
It seems the president of the Italian Higher Institute has some smarts. He understands that people who already have other serious health conditions, which have nothing to do with Covid-19, can and do die from those other conditions, regardless of the fact that they’ve tested positive for Covid-19. He gets it. I predict a great future for him. If he keeps shooting his mouth off, he might find himself working as a weed puller in a forest. Or he might suddenly be diagnosed with the virus and find himself in isolation.
Grit your teeth and plow through this piece from Rome, March 13, 2020, Agenzia Nova: “Coronavirus: ISS [Italian National Institute of Health]: in Italy there are only two deaths ascertained so far due to Covid-19.”
“There may be only two people who died from coronavirus in Italy who did not present other pathologies. This is what emerges from the medical records examined so far by the Higher Institute of Health, according to what was reported by the President of the Italian National Institute of Health, Silvio Brusaferro, during a press conference held today at the Civil Protection in Rome. ‘Positive deceased patients have an average of over 80 years - 80.3 to be exact. The majority of these people are carriers of chronic diseases. Only two people were not presently carriers of [other non-Covid-19] diseases, but even in these two cases, the examination of the files is not concluded and therefore causes of death different from Covid-19 could emerge. The president of the ISS has specified that ‘little more than a hundred medical records’ have so far come from hospitals throughout Italy.”
At present, in fact, the authorities are unable to distinguish those who died from the virus, from those who, on the other hand, are communicated daily to the public, but who were mostly carriers of other serious diseases and who, therefore, would not have died from Covid-19. In response to a question from Agenzia Nova, in fact, Brusaferro was unable to indicate the exact number of coronavirus deaths. However, the professor clarified that, according to data analyzed, the vast majority of the victims “had serious [non-Covid-19] pathologies and in some cases the onset of an infection of the respiratory tract can lead more easily to death. To clarify this point, the populations most at risk are fragile, carriers of multiple diseases.”
Translation into non-medical language: the people dying in Italy have other very serious traditional diseases that have nothing to do with Covid-19, and it’s obvious they could have died, and probably did die, from those other diseases. Nevertheless, we’re locking down the whole country.
