Do we have a breakdown of the number of infections in Italy by age group? I have a theory that communal drinking from the cup at the end of mass spread the shit out of the disease, and the demographics of people that still attend Catholic mass AND drink from the cup (not just eat the waiffer) skew MUCH older than the broader population. So if a higher percentage of older people are catching it vs the non Italy index, and the death rate for older folks is much higher than younger folks, the disease will appear to have a higher overall death rate.
So there we go. Once you dig into the numbers, the whole thing blows up.
If you're 70+ with an underlying condition, maybe lay low until mid April. Why the rest of the fucking world needs to come to a screechinh halt over this shit is beyond me.

Socialist medicine, that's why.
The hospitals literally cannot handle the numbers even as they currently are. Italy is choosing who lives and who dies simply because an oxygen mask is enough to save someones life, and they don't have enough.
If the infection rate curve is too high, it surpasses capacity of government run healthcare, and people die. Lots of people die. For comparison, italy has about 90x more hospital beds per capita than Canada.
The world hoax organization isn't worried about the disease, they are worried about the house of cards medical system collapsing on itself, and even worse, people might notice.

Any stats geeks have the cross tabs?

Exactly. As with most panic-related media, you can't go very far into the numbers before they all fall apart.

Very plausible.
