Italy would expect to see ~225 deaths a day attributable to flu during the season.

Okay, maybe that number should be lower, and we should all wash our hands more and wear facemasks more, like they do in places like Japan.
Deaths in Italy attributable to COVID-19 are running at ~600-700 per day at the moment. That's not just the fucking flu.
Also, hospitalisation rates, ventilation needs yadda yadda are all off the charts at the moment.
