"Current all-cause mortality in Europe and in Italy is still normal or even below-average. Any excess mortality due to Covid-19 should become visible in the European monitoring charts. "

This is not so easy to detect. The covid19 deaths will always be dwarfed by those of the most common causes of death. Cancer, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes, alzheimers, accidents typically add up to about 400 deaths per 100,000 per year. Let's say italy ends up with 30,000 covid19 deaths - that ends up working out at 50 deaths per 100,000. It's going to be a modest bump...but that's still 30,000 people dead! many of which could have been avoided if the government took the right decisions earlier and if irresponsible people stopped playing down the situation and equating the disease to flu!

" Thus the most important indicator for judging the danger of the disease is not the frequently reported number of positively-tested persons and deaths, but the number of persons actually and unexpectedly developing or dying from pneumonia (so-called excess mortality)."

why the hell do you think every western government is scrambling to produce/buy as many ventilators as possible right now?
