Italy’s COVID death toll in context

Italy’s COVID death toll in context

Italy’s COVID death toll has reached 70,797.

BUT…

14,080 deaths in patients over the age of 90.

29,224 deaths between age 80-89.

17,493 deaths between 70-79.

805 deaths under 50. 

54 deaths under 30.

Only 3.1% of those deaths occurred in patients with no underlying illness. 65.9% had three or more pre-existing conditions, according to the ISS.

Context matters. And lack of context with this issue has brought Western civilization to the brink of self-destruction.
