I guess the reason so many people got really sick and even died in Italy is down to suppressing the body of doing what it should and that is producing a fever. This virus dies fast in high temps so you want your body to get hot to kill it. They were taking stuff to stop their fevers which helped the virus not only spread more but really make people unwell. When you are sick, you are going to be uncomfortable but if you stop the body doing what it does to rid you of a virus or bacteria, you either prolong the illness from it or make it 10 times worse. It is common sense.
For such a weak virus, you'd think this wouldn't be such an issue but everyone and their panicking boomer parents/grandparents are making things worse. WASH YOUR HANDS, TAKE VITAMIN C, STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK, AND STOP BUYING EVERYTHING LIKE THIS IS THE BLACK PLAGUE! It is really that simple.
