That's probably why. There are 4 claims you've made that need to be backed up with facts.
The CFR is easy to find with a Google search. There are multiple studies currently providing strong lower and upper bounds on CFR.
My second statement has the word 'likely' in it. W.r.t. Italy, I am talking about an Italian media article describing over-constrained hospitals and the provisioning of military field hospitals.
Third statement has some evidence in other parts of the thread.
Fourth statement: many, many experts are warning that we are doing too little to late. The need for a response is logical given the high R0, CFR and needed hospitalization. If needed, I can provide some links, but going to my next meeting right now.
Otherwise, you need to put a sentence in there that all of these things are just your opinion.
And your response to me is just more hand-waving "i'm right i'm right" with zero content. You're still doing it.
