I really do appreciate the simplicity and clean lines of the unadorned, toe-pincher style coffins.

(Disclaimer: I do not believe that the COVID-19 situation was engineered by some hazily-defined government entity to divert attention away from other current affairs. I'm mostly just mocking people who do.)

Given a sufficient timescale, the death rate is approximately 100%, give or take whether you believe in the Biblical stories of Enoch and Elijah.

But, in all seriousness, as anyone who has ever done business with Assicurazioni Generali can attest, the Italians suck at most things which are not cheese or art. It should come as no surprise that "not being dead" is one of them.

Joe, Joe, let's sit down & have an espresso, and I'll explain to you why we can't not die.

And it's all Trump's fault and the sky is falling too!

In Italy, the average age of those who have died from the virus: 79.5.
"As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions."

Italy is also dirty as ****. Rome smells like trash, they have a horrible sewer system and leave trash everywhere.

But, least us not forget:





Great article. Hide your grandparents.



Climate Change and Universal Healthcare advocates should be welcoming this virus with open arms.

This **** will be over in another two weeks or so.

People at both extremes of the political spectrum have been doing it about everything that's happened for about 20 years now.

Kelly Brogan is a danger to herself and others. Obviously this is Trump's fault:
