I am sorry about hijacking this, but I don't know what's happening in Bergamo. Particularly hard flare of the virus, or something else? Tried searching for news, didn't get far.
(the original links in Italian are at the bottom of the post if you prefer that)
"Sorry, but to me, as a doctor, it's not reassuring that the most serious are mainly elderly people with other pathologies."
This could not be less helpful or more harmful. There is no useful information (that i got to, couldnt get all the way through). This is not an letter to the who or CDC trying to affect policy. This is a goddamn reddit post to scare people, vaguely, with the feelings of hospital staff. Im glad this doctor cares about comorbid patients, but this emotional non-rational prose is what drives mass hysteria and panics. We need data and recommendations.
Seemed quite helpful to me. Much more so than the pure speculation I'm hearing from other sources.
I got the impression the poster wanted to get their truth out, not fear monger.
