Real-time evidence of flattening the curve. Lodi had the first Covid-19 case in Italy, and implemented a shutdown on Feb 23. Bergamo waited until March 8.
Look at the difference.

2. Thank you for posting this since

I only saw it on CNN and MSNBC and referred to it in a thread here and someone wanted to know where the info came from and now I have a link.

3. You're welcome. I mean , it's really common sense.

Don't congregate in public and you won't spread disease and get sick.

4. A lot of people they don't have the sense they were born with.

Right here with me!

6. Way better... tho cases still rising...

15. Could partly be from family members who already had it (& may not have known it) passing it

to others in the family w/whom they are locked down.

7. Age-Specific COVID-19 Case Fatality Rates from Italy as of March 13, 2020

9. Italy's only second to Japan in having the oldest population, I believe.

Which explains their high death rate.

21. This is the only Demographic district I've seen that breaks out 90+, thanks for posting.

I’ve been wanting to see the difference between 80’s and 90’s. Relieved, in a way, that it isn’t 25% or more.

10. Let's tell Devin Nunes to print that graph out and place it somewhere. :) nt

16. We are fighting the virus and the Fox cult.

The Grotesque Orange Pustule is trying to make the curve vertical.

17. Two week difference

Am in ohio at the house i have here. Shutting down restaurants and bars today. Schools already. OSU down. We seem to be among the early group trying this. Ive been home as much as possible for weeks because i had been following the info for China. Lets see if we get a flattening here. God willing.

18. I got a stupid question.....................that someone may be able to answer

lets say you are on fixed income, low income..................have mortgage, or paying rent, have a school debt, can't go anywhere...............what are you suppose to do, if you don't have $400 dollars in savings, because of the greed and the basic attack of corporations on unions, health care, people in general and what courts have done its damnedest to fuck people over for over 45+ years...................do you think we should have a freeze on everything until this thing is fixed...................if you can't go to work.....................

22. You are supposed to stay home and watch the media

Didn't you hear? That's the solution!! Stay home for eight weeks, watch the media and patronize their sponsors. Don't worry about anything else. Just watch your tv. Watch.Watch.Watch.

20. We're doing worse than Bergamo right now because of lack of unfettered testing
