Cant just be a high proportion of elderly citizens. That disease is running amok, even despite the measures theyve put in place.

What's going on? And what can we learn from them?

They don't give a shit and are as inconsiderate as hell to each other, as in they cough into the air and don't cover or turn away whether in public, in an airplane, from what I hear.

it's because they were morons who thought nothing would happen to them, disregarded every warning to not do shit.

and then shit happened to them.

it's like they went out of their way to do everything wrong that they possibly could, and now it's too late.

They listened the least amount when given warnings, and they kept going out and partying.

that and they have probably have a high percentage of elderly that was just waiting to be infected

Over a quarter of Italy smokes, so that may also explain why their death rate is so high.

That combined with how they didnt take the virus seriously until it was very widespread.

Spumoni in my experience is chocolate, pistachio, and cherry ice cream layered together

delicious to be sure, but undoubtedly risky

If it's about not taking it seriously then the UK is in trouble.

Nobody here gives a fuck

Is social distancing a thing there? I know it's being pushed pretty hard over here but it's hard to say whether or not that will prevent an Italy 2.0

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

  1. Lots of smoker.
  2. Italians are pretty... social people.
  3. High population density over a small landmass.
  4. Like others have said, didn't take this shit seriously.

In the last few months, Bernie partisans and volunteers have threatened to throw people in death camps and assaulted a 15-year-old kid. The tolerant left lol.

I actually think that it's half of how Italians are and the fact that Italy is probably being more honest about the situation than countries like China are.

Large parts of China are still basically shut down. While their numbers are certainly being fudges it's not that hard to believe they're managing to contain it as they've gone further than anyone else on the issue.

Italy was kind of the wake up call, though it's hard to say if it's worst case or not (Italy is still getting worse). But it shows how the virus can overwhelm the healthcare system and have ripple effects throughout the country, where as previously people were just looking at a 2% mortality rate and downplaying it.

Simply put... most people are selfish and stupid. That's why.
