Italy#s average age is quite high which could account for the slightly higher death %
But San Marinos have a far higher (almost ten times) amount of reported cases per head of population than Italy.
Therefore also far more deaths per head of population.
GPC's point earlier was that there will be lots more mild cases that are unreported in UK which will bring UK death rates amongst those infected down,which I agree with.
However, San Marino are reporting ten times Italys infected rate yet still have similar death rates from those reported cases. It's a much smaller study with a total population of 33,400 but those figures would still give a pretty convincing analysis or it were an election exit poll.
As one of the more 'at risk' in particular, somebody show me where I'm wrong, please!
