Is there something to this Italian aspect?

[mmmmm...beer 691]

So we already know Italy is gettin crushed by this thing....  like more so than the rest of the world.

Then I read this article... so sad an Italian-American family in NJ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/nyregion/new-jersey-family-coronavirus.html

3 of them dying from CORVID-19 and docs are saying it's highly highly unusual.

Docs saying there are now certain biological precursors (not just immuno) that have you being at a higher risk.... ie A+ bloodtype and gut problems.

Now look at NY.... ton of folks with Italian ancestry in that state and they are getting hit harder than anywhere else in the US.

Is this thing chasing Italians?

I thought the high rate of deaths in Italy was partially due to them having a higher population of elderly people.

Those are mutually exclusive things.

The Guido Virus!  Maybe their wife beaters and IROC-Zs will protect them?

Could be a genetic component...hard to say.

Someone was talking to me yesterday about this and said that Made in Italy is a big deal there but how they get it to work is by importing cheap Chinese labor and that's why they got hammered so hard.  Not sure if that's true though.

Plus they're all older than dirt and piss in the street and kiss each other constantly.

Doesn’t every Italian family have an Adrian telling them to win?
