>Thanks for the figures - and there's another denominator to consider: size of age cohort. In 2018 in Italy, around 21% of the population was aged over 65y. If from your figures you extrapolate that around 95% of cases affect this 21% of the population, only 5% of deaths involve the 80% of the population aged less than 65y and all indications are that these few have comorbidities.


That is comparable to the Florida numbers. About 44% of Florida's population is older than 45 but they account for 96% of the currenty known cases and 100% of the deaths (both in their 70's and both travel abroad)..
If you go to older than 65 the numbers are 17% of the population account for 58% of the cases and 100% of the deaths.

The figures aren't exact but the do show a definite trend, But, the sample size is very small.
