They never say if the BP was under control, or untreated.

Remember that Italy is in triage mode.

That means maximum effort is made to save lives of the young and previously healthy.

This makes the statistics self-reinforcing.

Do not believe these numbers.

They are in such disarray in Italy right now.

How can they concentrate on stats?

Or even collect them?
