Assuming Senicide

You ever ask yourself if the European Union will survive? Perhaps you should. Check out what a nice immigrant from Portugal wrote while responding to an article (in French) claiming:
Without sanctions or restrictions, Portugal is (relatively) spared by #coronavirus.
Her reaction is 'interesting':
Portugal has far fewer fatalities than Spain or Italy, which is inexplicable. Unless you assume that the Portuguese aren’t throwing grandma from the train, that is taking the opportunity to rid themselves of elders, while the other two nations almost certainly are.
However obnoxious I find many New Yorkers, I'd never accuse them collectively of senicide. Her attitude reinforces our view that, unlike the US, the EU hasn't much future.
