No, the clusters hit the elderly in Italy. 41.3% of all cases in Italy are 70+ vs only 8.7% in South Korea. South Korea elderly 70+ case % is very close to its total population (10.1%). Italy 70+ is higher at 17.2% of population but 41.3% of those infected. Meanwhile, under 40 is 40% of the population but only 10% of cases.
