> But did so much earlier in the curve than Italy. Things could have been better for Italy if they had imposed a total lockdown a little earlier for the Bergamo industrial region. The fact is that the industrialists in that area were against it and nothing happened, apart from the whole region of Lombardy being put in a looser lockdown a few days after things had started going bad in the Bergamo region. That "helped" the virus spread around Bergamo and in the whole province of Lombardy, so that Bergamo together with neighbouring Brescia were the most heavily hit regions both in number of cases and deaths. Denmark had it "easier", so to speak, because if you lockdown Copenhagen I guess you've already lockdown-ed half of the country already. This is an article in Italian [1] about what went wrong in the Bergamo industrial region.
