Why coronavirus causes more deaths in Italy than in other countries in Europe?
Sometimes people have asked, why there is more coronavirus or COVID 19 deaths in Italy than somewhere else? Could the reason, that there are more deaths in Italy than somewhere else is that the people in that area are elder than somewhere else. The data what the maker of the analysis needs are:
1) The area, where the infection has got
2) The age structure of the people, who are living in that area
3) The role of those people Tourist or regular living
4) The reason, why those people are living in that area
If the middle age of the worst polluted area is higher than somewhere else, that causes more deaths. The last thing (Number 4) is that if there are lots of people, who have some base-illness like cancer or some other problems in the lungs.
That thing can increase the number of deaths because cytostatic and chemotherapy are causing that this person would not have an immune defense against viruses. The climate in the mountain areas is suitable for people, who have problems with lungs like cancer.
Also, a large number of tourists causes that epidemics can come to some areas easier than somewhere else.
There are many nationalities in Italy, and manly those people are tourists, which are coming to see luxuries, fashion, and culture. Those tourists who are interesting in those things are normally well-educated wealthy people but in the case of coronavirus the age of people, who are going to Italy to see those things are elder than people, who are going to Austria and Germany.
So the higher age would cause that people would be in greater danger in the case of infection than if they are younger. So the possibility is that the age structure of Italy is elder than in other places in Europe, and the other thing that can cause deaths if the main area, where the deadly infections have noticed is northern Italy, is that people in that area are naturally elder than other areas.
So northern Italy is the wealthiest area in that country, and that means that there would live people, whose place in society is stable. That means that people who are living in that area are in the leading position in companies or left the entire working life behind them. And those people are normally elder than others.
But there is also the possibility that the virus has been coming from the Far-East in the passenger planes, what is coming from Africa or some other nations. If we are thinking about the lifestyle of international and wealthy people, they might come from China via Dubai and that kind of place is a very important airport for transit flights.
That means that the virus can transfer from one person to another one during they are in the terminal and that kind of knot are hard to control because people might not inform that there is something wrong. So the transit-passenger would act as the transferring to viruses.
