Thank you for a cohesive answer. Yes, but if this is true and the number dead is not enough to even catch our attention when compared to flu dead, it would seem these economic and societal measures being undertaken are way out of proportion. In reality, if America were suffering a major pneumonia outbreak like Italy, we would be out of ventilators and deciding who dies. That is clearly not the case here, so we can rest assured that we are certainly behind Italy.

But my question is if we will see the same levels as Italy. Just glancing at their air quality, I couldn't go there without extra inhalers. Is that making them more susceptible to lung illness? Is a question I haven't asked. Do they usually see more pneumonia than places like the states, anyways? Could be a proxy to test my hypothesis.
