Italy is not really a model for what happens with covid19. First of all it has an average age nearly 10 years older than the U.S. It is also swarming with Chinese nationals since it signed up for Belt and Road. There are also 300,000 illegal alien Chinese working in the leather industry in northern Italy where all the trouble is. Further, the head of what amounts to the Italian version of the CDC has just announced that he can only confirm that two (count 'em two) of the deaths previously attributed to covid19 could be confirmed to be so. The other deaths could be attributed to other causes because these people were already very old and very sick.
All I'm saying is that this ridiculous overreaction to covid19 (SARS-2) is probably doing more harm than good. Foot dragging by the FDA about getting as much chloroquine as possible out to those in need is going to cause a lot of deaths. The cure rate of covid19 treated with chloriquine appears to be about 100% where it's being used. That twit White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx ought to be shipped off to China. In addition to providing excuses as to why chloroquine isn't being used immediately, she said that she believed the Chinese when they indicated there were no new covid19 cases in China. Yup, there's a woman you can feel confident about. Oh, one other thing about Italy. They literally had a "Hug a Chinese" campaign going on a short while ago, because it was feared there was some sort of racism going on. There were videos of Italians hugging Chinese tourists and Belt and Road operatives on TV and on the internet. Needless to say, those videos were pulled quickly.
