Patient Zero

Coronavirus Patient Zero in Italy Reportedly a Pakistani Immigrant

"The EU Times reported that the Pakistani man continued to cook and deliver Chinese food and infected an entire region of Italy.

Health authorities asked the man to quarantine himself at his home in the Pavia area for two weeks, but he ignored the request and continued to work at a Chinese restaurant."

"Life Care said 70 of its 180 employees have shown COVID-19 symptoms and are no longer working. The facility said that it has 63 residents remaining — down from 120 before the outbreak — and that six of them have symptoms."

63 - 6 = 57.

I smell lots of disinfectant and maybe closure of the facility.

And a Lawsuit?

And Now the Rest of the story.

26 residents have died. It is an acute care facility where about three to seven residents die in a typical month, it said in a written statement.

3 to 7 is a range. Small population so use Poisson?

What is the possibility that 10 die in a month normally?

Could the staff have seen any warning signs?

TBH all of the people who died, would have died this year. This just sped it up by 1 to 3 months. COVID-19 was a co-factor in their deaths probably and may not have been the main factor in any of them.
