Covid19 cases and deaths in Italy went up again today, after decreasing for 3 days.

Hopefully new cases is an anomaly. I wouldn’t expect deaths to drop right away though, this thing doesn’t kill quickly (though hopefully with fewer new cases, we can provide better care for those who have it).

Looking at those graphs, there’s just the tiniest hope that the death rate has peaked, but we’ll need to wait until the end of the week to be more sure on this.
Anecdotally, the highest number a couple of days ago was due to a large nu

I know a 90-year-old that has been on a ventilator for two weeks now that probably won’t make it... This thing takes forever if it gets serious and the doctors are able to keep you breathing, otherwise it just kills you. Hence the curve flattening - we have to keep the cases as low as possible and make as many ventilators as we can if we want those that end up hospitalized to have any chance at survival.
