Yeah... Thing is, Italy has a pretty average (to be nice) medical system compared to the US and the rest of Europe. Plus it has the second oldest population in the world. They run at 79% of capacity, we run at 64%. They have 13 ICU beds/100K, we have 35.

Has there been any mention as to why the “recovered” patients number is so low when compared with the officially diagnosed? I hope it’s just because the people who get better don’t bother reporting it back to their doctor
