The European country has the second-most cases in the world at 27,980 — second only to China — and almost 2,000 deaths so far. Now researchers are learning why.
Italy’s social and multigenerational way of life, in which the young and old live and spend quality time together often, could be why rates of infection and death are so high, according to a new paper published on the Open Science Framework by researchers at the University of Oxford.
The paper says that Italy has one of the oldest populations in the world — 23.3% of people are over age 65 — and in many households, multiple generations live together or close by, and interact often.

Italy’s love of grandparents can be pinned on Donald Trump, I’m sure.
The Italian population is as old as they bought in to the Zero Population farce, thus it was necessary to import “migrants” to be employed to pay Italy’s high taxes to support the “old folks” as their citizens refused to grow their own replacements!
I doubt that the elderly now dying in Italy ‘refused to grow their own replacements.’
The average age in Italy should go down some after this.
Bkmrk.
BS!
The Chinese in Italy doomed the country.
Logan’s Run.
This! When you’re filling your factories with cheap Chinese labor, you get Chinese diseases. And when those are highly communicable diseases like C19, Italians are going to die. Any questions?
Italy has one of the lowest birthrates in Europe; if current trends continue, Italians will be a minority in their own country in sixty years. (We're watching a suicide in slow-motion on a national scale.)
Lo Gans Run.
How can Italy have the lowest birthrate when the majority of the country is Catholic? I dont understand?
And 100,000 Chinamen from Wuhan in northern Italy kinda helped too I bet.
Yeah. And they're Italian!
The Deep State killed everyone with this virus.
Cafeteria Catholics.
Also, massive Commie indoctrination in schools and universities for 50 years.
“in which the young and old live and spend quality time together often, could be why rates of infection and death are so high”
so, does that mean the U.S. habit of dumping granny in the old folks home and then completely ignoring her was a good thing after all?
.
Maybe they can import Catholic spanish speaking people from Central America instead of chinese slave labor and moslem africans?
