First comment to Skybird's reply to me.
Could there be a change in balance of power, after a economical meltdown ?
Where this balance tip over to the east ?
What would happen if USA is downgrading from being the 1 super power to a second/third place and Europe is downgrading and are will only be a group of European countries ?
If China takes over the European interests in Africa and the Middle East(yes they have been doing this for years now-slowly taking more and more of the European interest in Africa)
What will Europe do ?
Back to this corona and the death toll.
Some of my friends on FB mentioned the different between this Corona and our ordinary Flu. They said, as I have before, people get killed from Flu too.
So I ask them a question which they can't give an exact answer to. It's only the Italian health authorities who can.
From the start when the first Italian got this Corona and until now, about 4000 have died from this virus- which mean from 31 of January and until now 20 of March)
So did there die as many per month when their flu season was at highest or most deadly in modern time as it have now the last two month with this Corona virus.

We estimated excess deaths of 7,027, 20,259, 15,801 and 24,981 attributable to influenza epidemics in the 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17, respectively, using the Goldstein index. The average annual mortality excess rate per 100,000 ranged from 11.6 to 41.2 with most of the influenza-associated deaths per year registered among the elderly.
