Italy now has the highest number of Covid-19 infections in the world, if you believe that China didn't underreport deaths. They claim an impossible death rate, given that their hospitals are still accepting almost all serious patients. (This could change in a day or two.) Their total cases numbers are probably bonkers, and have been from the very start. They were very unlucky with the early spread, with (I guess) lots of asymptomatic cases. Other Western countries had more time to prepare, and had better knowledge about where the cases were spreading. This will change, unfortunately.
