- lbeltrame 7y agoGiven that there was a disaster (in the sense of failed containment) in the hospital of Alzano Lombardo early on (which is in the area), I wonder if that meant that more vulnerable segments of the population were exposed to the virus.
- microdrum 7y agoIt sure can be that low. Pretty simple reason, too: 1) Studies linked above are properly statistically randomized 2) Italy population dead = old smokers, Chinese from Wuhan working in factories The study is a random population sample. A single tiny town Italy has a highly characterized population. If you disagree, you've never been to Italy. Stop being scared. Start being logical.
