Actually 21.6% over 64
US is 16%
Which is a big jump, especially having more in the 80-90 age range than the majority of the world
Not sure why your stat doesn’t mean it can’t be 23% at 65 though

Has it been established why so many deaths in Italy compared to the rest of the world?

I thought the lockdown was supposed to bend the curve?
This was repeated numerous times last week to expect a huge jump in identified cases as testing numbers increased.

Both are probably correct FWIW

Old age, heavy smoking and other underlying causes are currently the best guess. Heavy smoking is also being attributed to the disproportionate number of older men dying. 70% of Italian deaths are men.

i couldn't pass on the opportunity to merge post with gif like that
but i agree with you. SK has things working for it, like being effectively an island, history responding to viruses, culture, etc
this is our first pandemic in 100 years. it's like their 3rd in 10 or so

The first with a novel virus since 1918. Old friends like H1N1 have caused recent pandemics.

What in the frick is going on over there?
Their hospitals are overwhelmed. Some of the dead would be alive if not for the spike in cases.

My comment was in response to the "bending the curve" comment by another poster.
The "curve" that we keep hearing about that needs bending doesn't refer to death numbers.
It refers to the number of infection cases.

Italy has only been locked down for 12 days or so. Think the average time from infection to death is 18 days so you aren’t really expecting to see these numbers go down yet. Italy got way behind on testing and this thing was overwhelming their system by the time they figured out what was happening.
I really hope this is the case.

I posted under someone saying 25%.
I just quickly googled and posted two stats. One for Italy and one for the US to bring some context to the discussion.

This is why people relying too much on the mortality rate are using flawed logic. The key number is capacity of the health care system. Even if someone does not die, if they require hospitalization/ventilator then it's a huge issue. Also keep in mind Italy is about a week ahead of us on the curve. Next week in the U.S. will be fairly telling of how we can handle things.

The two key numbers as I see it are the death numbers and those requiring critical or intensive care. Numbers showing the total confirmed cases are totally dependent on testing that is not consistent.
