One Odd Aspect of the Italian Virus Situation

This morning, the German press brought up the death rate in one single region of Italy....around Lombardy.

The death rate, in Italy is 3.7-percent (Germany: .7-percent).

However, in Lombardy, it's 8.2-percent.  No explanation why the rate is so high. 

Genetics, smokers, age, asthma, heavy drinkers, hygiene habits?  Unknown.  8.2 people of each 100 who get the virus, in this region.....pass away. 

Just odd.
