It doesn't though. Here's a distribution of Italian deaths: https://external-preview.redd.it/nOYqCT3-3vzX6aPnaHk3Jb6LSvSnQIHxqYH6FPXrcfs.png?width=1024&auto=webp&s=c2e3ac21bbab29599bb3535c18057ab8d442f3e7 https://external-preview.redd.it/nOYqCT3-3vzX6aPnaHk3Jb6LSvS... Note that over half the deaths are over the average age of life expectancy of an Italian.

It doesn't when there's a functioning non overloaded health system. Italy's health system despite all the lockdown measures is barely functioning at this point (and can't stay in this state for long). Without efforts to slow transmission the death rate goes up a lot as anyone who'd need hospitalization is as good as dead. edit: And once your health system collapses anyone who needs hospitalization for any reason is in trouble.
