My apologies, but I'm not sure why that would be more informative, I'd appreciate if you can please explain.
Italy, very unfortunately, keeps on posting record breaking new cases and new deaths every day as their lockdown continues. According to worldometer 3/21
6557 new cases and 793 new deaths. It just makes me second guess this whole complete lockdown business and would say, let's focus our resources on isolating the elderly and immunocompromised population. But that's not a discussion for this thread.
Would just love to see Italy climbing out of this black hole already.
