Let us crunch Italy numbers:

Last year 2019, a total of 99,570 people died in Lombardy.

The death rate was 10.5 in 1000.

In 2020, the death rate is 10.6 in 1000.

What does this say?

Could we just be blaming the #COVIDー19 yet people die in droves daily in Italy?
In the winter seasons from 2013/14 to 2016/17, an estimated average of 5,290,000 flu cases in Italy.

More than 68,000 deaths.

Italy showed a higher influenza attributable to excess mortality compared to other European countries especially in the elderly.

#COVIDー19
This is actually a credible study.

'The high number of fragile very old subjects living in Italy'

I choose to be stoic.

Don't panic.

#COVIDー19 is a mild respiratory infection in 80% of our population.

Don't panic!
Here for example:

Averagely 273 people were dying daily in Lombardy alone in 2018.

Do the maths in the other regions and add the total then compare with current #COVIDー19 deaths.
