Italy's death rate was much lower a few weeks ago as well. Their numbers are spiking massively right now because the number of severe cases has surpassed the number of available hospital beds equipped with ventilators. So their doctors are forced to leave the elderly with less chance of survival to their own fate. Let's hope the social distancing measures in other countries, including the US, start working soon in bending the curve that is growing exponentially right now. Otherwise it will be only a matter of time once the same happens elsewhere.The US has 5 times the population. Our numbers will be larger. And our death rate is much lower.
