This is supposed to be a trasnscription of some Whatsapp calls between medical personnel in the north and south of Italy where the northerners try to update the southerners on the situation https://files.catbox.moe/3ns6c1.mp4 https://files.catbox.moe/3ns6c1.mp4 This file is several weeks old by now, a search on the 'net finds a number of pages where the link is mentioned (including one from the 21st of januari 2020 - according to Google that is - hoax alert? if so a prescient hoax in that they knew it would start in the north of Italy). This being the internet it it hard to ascertain the veracity of the thing. If it is for real it sounds way worse than e.g. the situation on the cruise ship 'Diamond Princess' which saw 700+ infections but only a few deaths as far as I know, nor does it tally with the situation in Korea. In the (supposed) transcription they talk about a larger number of cases in younger people without existing medical conditions, again something which goes counter the current narrative. One of the possible explanations given for the higher mortality in Italy (~4%) compared to Korea (~0.7%) is that Italy has a generally older population (the oldest in Europe) but that does not explain the mentioned incidence of cases among younger people. Of course the way countries count 'cases' can also differ so there is another possible explanation but this still does not explain those cases among younger people.
