Data that proves it's all scaremongering

A friend has posted this as proof that it's all scaremongering. I've been fairly calm so far and happy that the current government advice makes sense. I think restrictions are coming but it's important to time them right and it's too early yet.

However, death rates in Italy and US much higher than else where makes me question the accuracy of the data from other parts of the world.?

Yes. Your friend is definitely more right about this than the governments of Italy, Denmark, Ireland and the US. They should all listen to your friend.

If it was a virus that would kill 3% of the infected children people would take it a lot more seriously. But if you are older or have diabetes you can just go die apparantly. Thanks for that.
