As of 3/9/20, 98.9% of those deaths in Italy are from people 60+ in age, and then its 99.7% for 50+. NO DEATHS under 40. Protect your elders.

I've read that Milan and surrounding area has about 320,000 ethnic Chinese living and working there in the fashion industry. Covid19 is the name of the disease, but the actual name of the disease is SARS-COV2*. I have heard that 90%+ or higher that died from SARS only killed ethnic Chinese. Coincidences?

Just a totally unrelated fact that genetic testing sites like Ancestry and 23 and Me can legally sell your genetic information to whoever they want.

Might make it pretty easy to target a certain population when you have millions of unique samples.

Also Italy has a high rate of smoking and some of the worst air pollution in Europe.
