Tim McNamara added,
There is a lot of variation among countries on what is defined as COVID-19 death, as well as death being a lagging indicator. We will be able to give a better estimate down the line using tools like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_displacement …
That makes sense. My understand is that covid-19 destroys epithelial cells in the lungs allowing bacteria to invade and cause pneumonia.
Oh, the mechanics I think are clear. It's more a counting issue: if they had diabete, they got infected with COVID-19 and then died... Is that a COVID-19 death or a diabete death? Same with other pre-existing conditions, more or less severe.
Some people also don't end up in a hospital, hence they are not factored in. I believe the Italian number to be an underestimate as well, given some of general population mortality statistics coming from the most affected areas (no English articles I can link unfortunately)
How are things in the south? I am surprised that Lombardy has been so badly affected
The south is holding up for now because they had time to prepare and put in place strict social distancing measures earlier, as it happened in China outside of Wuhan. But I do expect the southern healthcare system to go under stress in the upcoming weeks sadly.
