      It's just a little more than two weeks from when Italy had *less* than a hundred confirmed COVID-19 cases, and not only have they imposed severe travel restrictions on the whole country, they just decided to shut down *all* stores except food and pharmacy. Why? Next tweet.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1236669939471319041 …

      Confirmed cases two weeks ago: Italy 62, Hong Kong 69, Taiwan 26, Iran 28. Hong Kong and Taiwan acted early with social distancing, hygiene, closures and near universal mask wearing. Their numbers hardly budged. Italy and Iran each have ~6000 cases and are locking down millions. pic.twitter.com/F63zPIHQnI

      While too much of mainstream media *and* Trump administration focused on the case fatality rate debates, one key fact got overlooked. The risk is systemic. There is no fixed fatality rate. Once your hospitals are overrun, mortality from everything will rise. As now, in Italy.

      I’ve been doing everything I can to try to explain that for many many weeks now. 😢
