Just a reminder, while the number of cases could follow an analogous path the deaths will not, over twenty percent of Italy’s population is over 65 and they’re in a uniquely dangerous position for this pandemic.
Wouldn’t population density affect this greatly? USA is really spread out, although our biggest cities have pops of 8(nyc) and 4(la) foolowed by chicago.

Whem you think about how small Italy is they really are in a much more dire situation. The median age is ten years higher too.
