The largest sample size is the meta analysis of all known cases.You asked, I answered. Take the results for what they’re worth.CDC and WHO are including some poor stats, which you clearly see for yourself...but you can hide behind them if you so choose.
I’ll take the largest sample size and results, as opposed to the places where we only really know about the 20%!
Same here dlbh, I had 2 trips to Milan and Bergamo planned and paid for, now I get my money back. Was going to see friends in Bergamo plus watch Atalanta again each time, disappointed yes, but feel for the people and friends caught up in this over there.Its being reported there was a mad rush to get the last trains out of Padua.
from a selfish point of view this latest action is going to save me a wedge of money.
I was scheduled to go to Venice for 5 days in a couple of weeks.
I already cancelled the hotel at no cost.
Now the flight will be refunded and my pre booked theatre and transport tickets.
Its happening all around the world and here too, though mostly not counted as covid-19, winter flu pneumonia etcI have a friend living in a small village in Northern Italy. She's 61, suffers from COPD. Her village has just been declared a red zone. Very worrying, seems to be thinning out the old ones fairly quickly
Because China aren’t known to always be truthful with their stated figures (of anything).
Yeah but someone recovered and it wasn’t as bad as the flu for him so everything’s fine. Governments are always quarantining 20% of their population with the economic impact that brings for a bad cold.Indeed! Their economy has been growing at 7% since time began......according to them!
You don’t lock down a 1/3 of your country on the back of a flu outbreak. It reflects the seriousness of the situation in Italy.
The Italians are doing the right thing. Meanwhile we are washing our hands singing Happy Birthday and allowing people to mix in large numbers left right and centre.

Like I said.The largest sample size is the meta analysis of all known cases.
You’re doing the opposite of taking the largest sample size. You’re taking 6,000 cases from the 103,000 known and confirmed cases.
And I’m not “hiding” behind anything, I’m quoting the WHO. You know, the agency running and advising the world’s response to the pandemic.
