Coronavirus Mortality in Italy, the Centre of Western Coronavirus Epidemic, Is Grossly Misleading
• 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic and therefore undiagnosed, while the mortality rate is calculated based on the cases who are known because they showed complications.
• Just 0.2% of the Italian population was tested for the disease. Most infections are unknown, therefore, compared to the effective infections, the mortality rate is much lower.
• Italy has worldwide the second oldest population after Japan. Elderly people are much more vulnerable to the virus.
