We've all heard the reports from individual Italian or Spanish doctors in specific hospitals in specific areas of their respective countries telling horror stories of inundated emergency rooms and ICUs, not enough respirators and people 'dropping lie flies' etc.
You'd be forgiven for seeing this as evidence that this pandemic is nothing like we've seen before and that it justifies entire countries being locked down. And you'd be wrong, on both counts.
The key point here is 'individual doctors in specific hospitals in specific areas of specific countries'
Every single winter season, in at least one country (usually several) there is a 'flu pandemic'. Further, it is not across the entire country/countries. There are specific 'hot spots' where an alarmingly large number of cases inundate hospitals, require tents to be set up, emergency supplies of respirators to be shipped in, ambulances to be diverted from other areas.
Now, the reason you don't know about this is because governments and the media essentially IGNORE it. Why? Well, apart from their standard acceptance of the fact that every winter season large numbers of the sick elderly choose to 'move on', there is the vaccine factor. In most Western nations, upwards of 75% of the over 65s are vaccinated against the flu. To widely publicize that so many such people are, nevertheless, dying as a result of "complications from flu related illnesses" might undermine faith in the almighty flu vaccine (and the profits derived from administering it).
Now, back to those Italian or Spanish doctors. One question: have those doctors ever been in a hospital during one of the yearly flu pandemics that hit specific hospitals in specific areas of specific countries? I'd wager not.
I've said it many times already, and I'll say it again, much of the entire world is being deliberately and cynically hystericized, with entire countries locked down, police state measures imposed, and livelihoods and lives placed in unnecessary danger, over what is, essentially, a rather common bad seasonal flu outbreak.

A severe flu season is stretching hospitals thin. That is a very bad omen
This flu season is offering us an important warning: We're not ready for a flu pandemic.
