Maybe the reason there's been such a low rate of death is that the MMR vaccine had some effect on the Coronavirus? I'm not a scientist, I write Javascript.

  Do less Italians get the mmr? That would be interesting to look at the hard hit places.

    Yes, children do

      Importantly, what about children 50+ years ago? In Italy

        Presumably mostly not. The original rubella vaccine was developed in the late sixties and the current vaccine (that's part of MMR) didn't come out until 1979.

  In the UK MMR has been a standard vaccination for children born from 1990 onwards -- those born in the 80s (so in their 30s) only got measles+rubella, and those in the 70's (so in their 40s) only got measles. No evidence of any difference in deadliness between age ranges in under 50s in UK excess deaths.
