It _is_ a mild disease.

Most people don't even have symptoms! In Italy—at least according to the government—you have a higher chance of getting hit by a meteorite than not dying from COVID, unless you live in Lombardy, are over 60 years old, and have 2-3 preexisting conditions.

I know that people die, and even 1 person dying is a tragedy, but if you compare with Spanish flu, Polio, Ebola, AIDS it _is_ an extremely mild virus.

As for being an expert, I never claimed to be. I didn't know you needed a degree to post on a forum. If you're asking for a recommendation, I would recommend plasma. We are having great success in Italy, with 2 hospitals in Modena and Verona completely erasing deaths.
