In 2015, 1 italian died of repiratory diseases every 11 minutes or so. Covid-19 is a respiratory disease, and given the fact that Italy has a vast population with severe respiratory issues (unlike many many other countries), covid-19 just made the already bad situation worse. This is definitely NOT the situation in the rest of the world.
