Actually that could be the case. This is an interesting article that I think may shed a little light on Italy's current crisis.

It appears they barely have the seasonal flu under control over there much less a new, more aggressive virus. Keep in mind that this article doesn't reflect the 2018/2019 flu season which hit them very hard and was appearing to peak in January of THIS year...right as Covid-19 began hitting them. They actually recorded almost 500,000 cases of the seasonal flu in one week in January. Again, this article was published before Covid-19 was news.

Classy response to a man on the front lines who doesn?t agree! That?s awesome! Need a thumbs up? Seriously some of you are ridiculous. Getting in a pissing match over something none of y?all have no answers too.

Here's an article about the huge number of flu cases in Italy that hit mid-January
https://ilglobo.com/news/italy-repor...-a-week-46676/
End of January, they confirmed 1st cases of coronavirus. It would be interesting to know if in their death cases did some test positive for flu and coronavirus

Looks like Spain is approaching that point where it really started to snowball for Italy. 344 deaths in 24 hours. Their death rate up to 6% now. This is almost exactly where Italy was a week ago.
March 15 - Italy
24747 cases, 1809 deaths, 368 deaths in 24 hours
March 22 - Spain
28572 cases, 1725 deaths, 344 deaths in 24 hours

They're still saying only 1 death

Speaking as someone who DOES work in healthcare... the guy Beardo responded to definitely doesn't actually do anything healthcare related. He probably works as a janitor/maintenance in a hospital and calls that healthcare. No way he's "on the front lines". (For the record, I'm not either.)

When did this happen? A co-worker was sent there last week and tested positive for the coronavirus.

MSDH reported this morning that of the 1321 that had been tested 207 were positive. The US Surgeon General reported this morning that 90% of the ones tested nationwide, who thought they had it or had been exposed did not have the virus based upon the test results they had received so far.

Not trying to start a pissing match, but if you are in healthcare and you think this is being overblown by the media then 99% of your colleagues disagree with you. I can guarantee your institution is taking it seriously. You can also call it panic, but the natural result of closing restaurants and telling people to stay home is people flooding the grocery stores. You can argue that shutting everything down won't work, but its hard to argue that it is the wrong decision. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that won't ever feel this is a big deal unless someone close to them is affected. The flu comparison is not applicable, and anyone in healthcare should know that. As long as it continues to ravage and escalate in Italy, we should be doing everything we can to avoid that result. Disclaimer: just my opinion and subject to being wrong.

Grocery store raids were happening from day one. Not when things started shutting down. It was straight panic and hoarding.

By the way, the "evidence over hysteria" post was removed from that website for violation of the rules: https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine...9-1b767def5894
