I’m really not sure what that graph is trying to explain. Why is Italy way ahead in terms of days?

It is explained on the image. Days since 100 total cases

Like what are they doing with the bodies? Read somewhere that some have loved ones that have been dead for days and nothing can be done. That's just...wow man.

Fun fact I was looking at, since the start of the COVID19 outbreak(Dec 2019) roughly 12,000 deaths worldwide have been recorded. By even the most conservative estimates, over 1.5 million people have died of starvation worldwide since Dec. 2019.

Yes, but I can't catch their disease, therefore I don't care, right?

Well we are #17 on the "Most Obese Country of 2019" list, so I think the evidence speaks for itself......

 

Side note: Surprising how many fatties there are in the Middle East.

Go ahead and send this out to all the health care workers in the country I’m sure this will put them at ease.

Well of the slightly less than 3400 cases of Chinese healthcare workers, 13 died of complications with the virus. That would be 0.4%.

Actually, I do know a few(3-4). I will ask them what their opinion on the situation is. And if they were anxious, I really would say that because I would hope that would ease their mind pretty considerably.

I’m being facetious. Dying isn’t the only thing to be concerned about if you are in that field. They are about to go through trauma on a massive scale. 
 

I don’t like this mentality well 1.4 million people died of starvation since December. Equally awful things doesn’t give perspective. They are all awful.
