1/ Italy just became the first big country to pass a 0.1% population death rate from #Covid. With 60,000,000 people, it has 61,000 Covid deaths.

Shocking, right?

Except that of Dec. 2, 15 of those were in people under 20.

657 - 1% of all deaths - in were people under 50.

2/ On the other side, 10,588 deaths were in people over 90.

Yes, 700 times as many people over 90 have died of #Covid in Italy as under 20. And 15 times as many as under 50.

The median age of death is 82.

Don't let anyone lie about who's at risk here.

3/ Overall, 3.1% of the sample presented with a no comorbidities, 12.4% with a single comorbidity, 18.5% with 2, and 65.9% with 3 or more.

(This understates comorbidities because it is from the people who were healthy enough to be hospitalized rather than dying in care homes.)

Some specifics:

26% in kidney or liver failure.
23% with dementia.
17% with cancer within five years.
16% in heart failure.
12% with stroke.

Younger patients were particularly ill. 163 under 40 died.

Of those, no clinical information was available for 29. Of the rest: 119 had serious pre-existing pathologies (cardiovascular, renal, psychiatric pathologies,
diabetes, obesity). 15 had no major pathologies.

That's right. IN ITALY - THE BIG COUNTRY HARDEST HIT BY COVID - fewer than two relatively healthy people under 40 are known to have died from the illness every month since the epidemic began.
