He wants to be, but he's not sure it's the right time. First we need to get married. I'm gonna propose to him, I've really been thinking about that. Then we can buy a small house and move on.

With what is going on in the world today I think it proves there is never "a right time". Just grab happiness where you find it and enjoy each other!

the problem also is they are surpassed by the quantity of the people arrive to the hospital and they have to choose between the people who have the most chance to survive and between  one person of 80 yo  and one person of 50 yo they will choose this one of 50 yo in priority , many old person  die in their corner alone without their family ☹️ the situation is critical in italy,

99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness, Italy Says

By Tommaso Ebhardt Chiara Remondini, and Marco Bertacche

More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, according to a study by the country’s national health authority.

After deaths from the virus reached more than 2,500, with a 150% increase in the past week, health authorities have been combing through data to provide clues to help combat the spread of the disease.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s government is evaluating whether to extend a nationwide lockdown beyond the beginning of April, daily La Stampa reported Wednesday. Italy has more than 31,500 confirmed cases of the illness.The new study could provide insight into why Italy’s death rate, at about 8% of total infected people, is higher than in other countries.The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities, finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.

The median age of the infected is 63 but most of those who die are older

The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 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.

While data released Tuesday point to a slowdown in the increase of cases, with a 12.6% rise, a separate study shows Italy could be underestimating the real number of cases by testing only patients presenting symptoms.

According to the GIMBE Foundation, about 100,000 Italians have contracted the virus, daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported. That would bring back the country’s death rate closer to the global average of about 2%.

That is horrible. I'm not sure how it is in Italy, but in my country I read 50% or so of elderly didnt get a flu shot. Maybe if they did , resources being used by them wouldn't be in such a shortage like vventilators. I'm not blaming them but they still think they can get the flu from the flu shot, like my parents.

This is from a duet named Joey+Rory. The wife's name is Joey. Four
years ago this month, Joey lost her battle with cancer. Years before,
Rory had written a song for a friend of theirs whose mother had died.
In 2012, I believe before Joey was diagnosed, they created a music
video of the song. It's called When I'm Gone.

I offer it as comfort to anyone in the world who has lost someone or
will lose someone to this virus.

The first is the official music video. The second in the song with the
lyrics included.

One of my co-workers has it (I did not get in contact with him lately) and he says day four is the worst. Now he is already on his way to fully recover. He stayed quarantined at home but continued working. So I don't believe you get the virus my friend. Just an annoying ordinary cold😉. Take care 👍
