True or false ... ?

@revenant 👍️

@revenant Nah, in fact we had 20k deaths of hypertension last month over here, it became severe all of a sudden for so many people that we had to fill the hospitals

@Elessar citizen journalists report otherwise regarding many hospitals

@revenant I was sarcastic...

@Elessar 😊

@revenant For real tho, it's been serious enough to overwhelm the hospitals in Lombardy, which is/was one of the regions with the best healthcare service over here. And Italy healthcare in general doesn't score bad worldwide...

@Elessar ahahah noo it is the French healthcare which is the best in the world 😁..frankly I do not believe much of what governments are telling us now.

@revenant The situation in France is quite critical too; maybe not at the level of Lombardy (yet?) but for sure they're not taking it lightheartedly at all either.

@Elessar they sure did for a long time

@revenant I'm not in your governments butI can assure you once it hits an area at the level of Wuhan/Lombardy/NYC it wreaks havoc.

@Elessar well the measures are quite drastic to "combat" it

@revenant They're proportional to how long you wait before implementing them well. South Korea handled the situation as a whole pretty fast, the west in general waited too long.

@Elessar and so did Taiwan but Taiwan is a no no in the media

@revenant Oh yes. Over here we could've closed much sooner but we had a lot of people against it. In the end, though, we've been forced to close everything anyway - minus essential workplaces.

@Elessar how are you doing now ?

@revenant I'm in one of the most hit regions, but nowhere as bad as the first for cases. We're fine for now. People I know had it in the form of a very bad flu and recovered, some had no symptoms at all, and others (luckily no one I know) got it severe and died from it.

@Elessar that is good you are going back to reality !
