What is really crazy is the extreme difference in death rates from one geological area to the next, often not that far apart.

Take italy and Germany, Italy's death rate is almost 10% Germanies per person that was infected. Italy was actually far more careful, took serous precautions right away and had a full lockdown fairly fast. By the time ITaly had a full lockdown, Germany was still having large sporting events.

Yet germany has less over all cases AND almost 1/10th the death rate per case as Italy.

This has panned out in other places as well. The explination of different strains explains some of it, but not enough, especially when the areas in question are so close to each other.

I have also heard that it kills african American's at a higher rate then others, although I have not done any real research into that.

I have heard that Italy is the most genetically diverse nation in Europe (significantly) but have no clue if that could be the cause of the higher numbers.

Whatever it is, I think serious studies should be done to determine why the numbers are so much higher there, and how to prevent such numbers in the rest of the world. If it is a different strain, then that should be identified and italy should be put under a complete and total isolation until a vacine is found, as the death toll numbers there, if they spread, would cause insane amounts of death around the world.
