Italy 59 k cases 5476 deaths .

USA 39k cases 396 deaths .

I still don't understand why Italy's ratio is soo off the scale .

Italy has an older population I have heard. Italy are also further down the line in terms of time. There are more deaths on the way in places like the UK, US and Ireland.

Time accounts for the Italian deaths to some extent, more will die in the USA. However, people live several years longer in Italy also, that success make them more vulnerable now.

Heavy smokers in Italy or just unlucky?

You would imagine, and hope for us in Ireland, that as the Italians are very touchy (ie the kissing on the cheeks) that they may have transmitted it easier than we have done.  Also the Italians have a bit more culture of elderly parents living with their adult children, and grandchildren.

Unsure how much of those two factors are real, but hopefully there is something in it.

Me too. House prices and basically multiple generations of families living together maybe too.

Or maybe it's all wishful thinking but time will tell :(

It's not just an old people problem in Italy.
Italy has its own peculiarities when it comes to flu like illness.   There were 3 million diagnosed with influenza from October to mid Jan.  Some 35,000 died on average every year from influenza like illnesses (ILI)  over  a 4 year period 2013 -2017

The prevalence of flu served to conceal the arrival of Covid19.

There were 14k new cases alone in the US yesterday, it hit Italy about 4 weeks prior to the US. Those death statistics in the US could rise dramatically in the coming weeks.

One thing discussed was that both China and Northern Italy have bad pollution. In this respect Ireland is better off.
