Here's an important fact you failed to state

One source of trepidation has been that the coronavirus death rate in Italy is so much higher than elsewhere — nearly twice that of China and the United States. This could be a sign that things can or will get worse. But there's an explanation: The population there is especially old.
The World Health Organization warns that individuals 65 and older are at higher risk of suffering acute symptoms of the virus and, in turn, dying from it.
In Italy, nearly a quarter of the population is more than 65 years old. In the U.S., only 16% is. In China, 11%.
The vast majority of people dying from the virus in the U.S. are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. That has been the case in China. Italy's national health body says that the average age of individuals dying of the virus has been 81.

Let’s see what happens now since Prime minister of Canada and his wife have self-quarantined since they were ill as reported today.

Not playing politics- just stating facts since I have seen the medical system in Italy first hand and have a lot of family their dealing with this mess now! (emphasis added)
