Basically, Italy has a ton of older folk, who are more seriously affected by the Wuhan Coronavirus. Also read on another article (cant find it) that Italy has a high percentage of cig smokers than other countries, therefore are more at risk of to a Coronavirus complication.

Average age in Italy: 45. Average age in USA: 38.
Really, not THAT far apart.

I am a heart patient, my lungs are weak from having smoked and I'm obese.
My chance to die of it is about 10%

Shit Trex! Dont get the Coronavirus. Stay viligant.
Found this cool page on the WHO website explaining practical ways to prevent infection. Very helpful! https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public
Asante, America is definitely at risk for high deaths because of how many smokers are in the population, the average age of the population and people with bad lung/immune system health. Its gonna get bad for these specific high-risk groups. Not good 
Damn Asante, thats three strikes againist you. Isolate my Man. Isolate.

Germany has a higher median age than Italy. In China the rate of smoking is 60% higher than Italy. Age and smoking cannot explain the differences

How it gets reported is the difference. All deaths from people with breathing problems regardless of testing are covid-19 casualties in italy.

So youre saying people are dying from non-coronavirus complications but are being counted as coronavirus deaths?
Just read that Las Vegas is closing its casinos. Crazy to think i was just there in December, when it broke out in China! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/coronavirus-updates-navy-hospital-ship-heading-to-nyc-stocks-fall-again-death-toll-climbs-to-115/ar-BB11lRMs?OCID=bingcoronaviruslinks

This is right up there with people who claim AIDS isn’t caused by HIV.
You really think there’s an epidemic of non-covid related pneumonia that is killing off people at 10x the normal mortality rates?

Increased testing and exponential growth.
I’m not even sure the increase in testing is keeping up with the spread of the virus.
Many of the New York cases can be traced back to one guy who was on vacation in Italy. It took him a week to get a test and by then he was the index case for dozens of new infections.
New cases in the US will likely top 3000 today

Indeed I quit almost 7 years ago, but still, whenever I get the flu or a cold, it shows my lungs are weak and easliy succumb to secondary infection.
I'm TOTALLY isolating, LC, dont you worry.
