Italy has the second oldest population of any country. And the average age of death is 81. So, they are a special case. Two Chinese tourists gave them the virus in early February. The Chinese rich in Wuhan escaped China before the crackdown. They were given warning. So they left China quickly and spread the disease to the far corners of the world. Now Greenland, the Maldives, Fiji and Tasmania all have the virus.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there is some kind of genetic predisposition among Italians, too.

In New Jersey they had six COVID-9 infections from one large Italian-American family. Three of them were fatalities, including the grandmother in her 80s and two adult children in their 50s.
