Lockdown day 20: Italy Italy has been hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. On March 19 they surpassed China's death toll, and on March 27 reported 919 deaths, the highest sincw the outbreak began. As of this writing, 15362 Italians have died due to Covid-19. Despite having only 1/3 of the US' cases, Italy has a fatality rate of 10%, the highest in the world (Wuhan: 5.8% South Korea: 1%). Epidemiologists say that this is most likely due to demographics. Italy has the oldest population in Europe, with 23% of residents over the age of 65. Having many severely ill people in a single region also overwhelms the healthcare system, as is what happened in Wuhan. The Italian Ministry of Health also issued more stringent testing policies, prioritising those with severe symptoms. This may have caused people with mild symptoms to worsen, or to infect others. Also, my personal opinion is that Italians are some of the most sociable people in the world (as are the Spanish): they are very physical, they touch, they kiss, they hug. And that is probably what makes the demise of so many even more difficult than it already is: There is no opportunity to properly say goodbye, to pay respects at a funeral as you normally would, to hug those who have lost their loved ones. As the death tolls rise, especially in Spain, Germany, France and the US, humanity has to find a new way of grieving and giving consolation. "Venetian Holiday" watercolour on board
