As always, It seems that nothing can be trusted as far as the information we are being subjected to.
So the info I share and post is for the sole purpose of sharing things that I find interesting and or links others have emailed. I have a bunch in the inbox and as time allows I will try and go through them.
As of now I am still working full time and trying to enjoy some nice spring weather here :)
Again, all links and info:
FWIW
YMMV

„The only means to fight the plague is honesty.“ Albert Camus, The Plague (1947)
According to the latest data
of the Italian National Health Institute ISS, the average age of the
positively-tested deceased in Italy is currently about 81 years. 10% of
the deceased are over 90 years old. 90% of the deceased are over 70
years old.80% of the deceased had suffered from two or more chronic diseases. 50% of the deceased had suffered from three or more chronic diseases. The chronic diseases include in particular cardiovascular problems, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer.
Less than 1% of the deceased were healthy persons, i.e. persons without pre-existing chronic diseases. Only about 30% of the deceased are women.
The Italian Institute of Health moreover distinguishes between those who died from the coronavirus and those who died with the coronavirus. In many cases it is not yet clear whether the persons died from the virus or from their pre-existing chronic diseases or from a combination of both.
The two Italians deceased under 40 years of age (both 39 years old) were a cancer patient and a diabetes patient with additional complications. In these cases, too, the exact cause of death was not yet clear (i.e. if from the virus or from their pre-existing diseases).
The partial overloading of the hospitals is due to the general rush of patients and the increased number of patients requiring special or intensive care. In particular, the aim is to stabilize respiratory function and, in severe cases, to provide anti-viral therapies.
(Update: The Italian National Institute of Health published a statistical report on test-positive patients and deceased, confirming the above data.)

Hong Wei (pseudonym) is the owner of an aquatic shop on Sixth Street in the Western District. He told the Beijing News that he only heard on the morning of December 31 that there were three shop owners who were often playing cards at a stall near Tenth Street two days ago. After that, he sent a WeChat greeting to one of the bosses, and the other party replied "infected with a virus".
Bai Xiaomei (pseudonym), a merchant from the Western District, said that a couple she knew who was doing business in the seafood market was also hospitalized, "for two or three days." According to her, both were pneumonia caused by a cold.
Another merchant on the Second Street in the West District told the Beijing News reporter that the merchant selling spices next door was first admitted to Wuhan Central Hospital on December 25, and then transferred to Wuhan Xiehe Hospital. The store is currently managed by his family.
...
Under the guidance of the owner, a reporter from the Beijing News found the storefronts of four shop owners who were hospitalized for pneumonia for unknown reasons. These stores operate vegetables, edible fungi, seasonings, fish and shrimp, etc., and are currently closed. Among the four stores, the vegetable store and the edible fungus store are adjacent, and the other two belong to different neighborhoods.
