Mortality rate in Northern Italy is closer to 4.6%, they are worried it's a mutated strain it's seems much more virulent than in China. Italy's detahs are rising over 150 per day and accelrating it seems, already over 1000.
I don't know how accurate it is, but I've seen reports that say northern Italy has one of the highest percentages anywhere of population over 80 years of age. The virus seems to be more severe in 80+ patients with a much higher mortality rate than for people younger than 60.
