It appears Japanese survive it better than Southern Europeans. I think it needs study if there is some genetic differences.

The differences aren't genetic, they're cultural. The Japanese are some of the least touchy-feely people in the world...virtually no direct contact with those outside of direct family. People who have even a slight case of the sniffles wear a mask out in public. They are very clean people (not insinuating the Italians aren't)...outside of Singapore you probably won't find cleaner public spaces. They are also about the most compliant people on the planet...if their government tells them measures to take, they heed those measures almost obsessively.

I’m not going to argue your point. It’s a valid observation.

But can everyone talking median age of Italians or cleanliness of the Japanese recognize Americans aren’t exactly a model of health, hygiene, youth, or fitness?

99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness, Italy Says
The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities, finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.

The median age of the infected is 63 but most of those who die are older.

The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.

Remember when that asshole was trying to film some kind of documentary about Katrina, fucked up his little boat and had to be rescued?

He's like an extremely poor, stupid, unlucky person's Bono.

Oh yeah I remember all the exploits of this fucktard.

I just can’t believe CNN is so blind that they fail to make the connection between their suck ass ratings and their choices in who to put on the air.

Hey CNN, I’ve got a hint for ya......wake the fuck up if you truly desire to be “woke” as you stupid fucking hipsters like to call it.

Bunch of ass clowns.
