Didn't bother to read what we've known since the start of the outbreak.
So agreed the data was sound, the analysis was sound but thought to laugh at the source of the article anyway.

Gee, I'm sorry. You've shown yourself so dumb so often around here that when I saw it this time, I couldn't help but point out something so obvious, a 12 year old with a C in statistics could have gotten it.
The graph posted in the OP is in English and is the same thing as the Italian data. It even says it in the OP text...look, I'll quote it for you:
The average number of comorbidities among all Italian deaths with the coronavirus was 3.1, ISS revealed. Just 15 percent of fatalities occurred with the presence of just one other serious pathology, while 21.4 percent died with two other pathologies, and 59.6 percent with three or more pathologies.
In all seriousness, Spike - all you do is rush in to make a post trying to demean Trump or pile on when someone else with TDS makes an idiot statement, and you never add any value. I'm not sure whether this is because you are incapable of adding any value or whether you're just too quick in your response that you don't spend the time and thought trying to understand something. I'm guessing - and it is only a guess - that it is the former.
.Who knows, they might have fallen and cracked their heads open. Not the point. Also not the point what's on the death certificate. Point, as jem alluded to, is that they were at a much higher risk of dying so we might want to do a better job of isolating those actually at risk of fatality rather than shutting down the entire country. I dunno, maybe if you're in a nursing home, 80 and diabetic, you might hope they don't put a Covid infected guy in the room with you. Might work.
This isn't entirely true. There are scientists and health experts now saying that the cost of the lockdown to health might be greater than those it saved.
Only a few outliers are saying this. These are the same people who claimed that domestic violence would sky rocket; but in most counties it declined -- including nearly all of our local counties from a year ago period. In NC only two counties saw double digit increases, Guilford and Mecklenberg (Charlotte). The majority of counties showed a decline in domestic violence calls.
Still all the groups such as Compass Center for Women and Families and N.C. Coalition Against Domestic Violence, whose funding depends on the presence of domestic violence, made endless claims about increases in domestic violence in our state in the recent months with little supporting evidence. The advocates started claiming that people were still too scared to call - so the cops proactively went out to visit the "at-risk" homes -- and found few domestic violence issues.
The entire second half of the article is all about these government supported Domestic Violence non-profits facing budget challenges, and their maneuvers to land government grant money. I say that unless they can create an illusion of increasing domestic violence needs in our communities then they are unlikely to get money at a time where state & local governments are enduring financial shortfalls.
Has coronavirus increased domestic violence? What’s happened in Durham, Orange and Wake?

Yes, domestic violence is a terrible thing and those enduring it should be provided help and assistance. Claiming great increases in domestic violence due to COVID with no evidence to get funding is a ploy that will backfire on these organizations and their missions in the long-term.
you are so cheesy with your arguments...
1. you have no idea if the lockdown has saved anything... once the hospital beds are filled....
but
we can play anecdotal tit for tat...
there have been quite a few articles about suicides and depression...

Yes... rational Americans should be depressed, anxious and sick to our stomachs that there is a small population of "re-open CovIdiots attempting to get everyone sick and make our country look like Brazil. Rather than re-opening properly in phases as per the best public health guidance.
non science... non data based fear and doom.
there is little to no data to support any type of phased opening... you don't prevent exposures... you just shift them in time. They have been inconsistent and illogical as can be.
the only logical thresholds which we should have observed were based on risk of hospitalization or death.
