Keep seeing people say “loads” of healthy young people are seriously ill/dying in Italy?

[DennisReynoldsDuster]

...but I can’t see where this is coming from. Stats I mean. I’m already terrified for my nan, parents and elderly neighbour and doing what I can in my community to help elderly or vulnerable people.
But I keep seeing posts on here saying young healthy people are dying (no underlying conditions) and it’s making me even more worried. I understand it’s sadly inevitable that some young healthy people will die but the way some posters are making it sound like we are basically all going to die...

Can anyone point me in the direction of useful stats? I’ve looked at worldometer.

And I’m not trying to scaremonger I’m genuinely wondering whether these statements are true or not. I didn’t think we knew enough yet about the evolving numbers to make statements like that

The 0.2% death rate is not based on using anti inflammatories.

Not sure what mean by this. Not sure I care.,

@alloutoffucks I think you might have missed the point I was making. Never mind.

The anti inflammatory drug news only really became widespread in the Italian news outlets over the weekend.
It's certainly not been mentioned anywhere in the official reports that it has been a deciding factor in putting the younger age range (or indeed older) on ventilators.

That's not to say it hasn't been a factor. If aspirin and ibuprofen are not to be used by asthmatic people then stands to reason the effect on people with respiratory issues due to Covid shouldn't have taken/be taking them.

But it has not been given as a factor. The only thing that has is massive contagion (obvs) and, in most cases, underlying health issues.

Not been officially given as a factor I mean.

I wonder what the risk factors are for those already taking anti inflammatory drugs? :( I can’t stop mine.

@Gwenhwyfar my comment was in response to the ops specific query about Italy not about the world situation.
