Episode 26 sees a quarantine imposed across Italy as prisoners revolt, the economy shudders, and doctors tell of war zones as the #Covid-19 pandemic is raging beyond their ability to try. We look at the four critical shortages that hinder the effort: Lack of PPE, lack of antiviral drugs, lack of ICU beds, and lack of ventilators. That last point with a nationwide hospital supply of only 160k may prove the inescapable obstacle as we see multiple reports describe people dying from the inability to breathe. Who lives and who dies is the question. The question to quarantine or not is considered, and we look also at food vulnerabilities.
