I thought this was a good article discussing how underreported deaths in Italy are.

The small town of Nembro has 11,600 inhabitants. Typically it would have 35 deaths over the first quarter. This year it had already had 158 deaths by March 24. Yet the official data counts just 31 Covid-19 mortalities. The implication is that the real pandemic death rate has been four times higher.

Closer to what seems to have happened in China too-I read somewhere that locals estimate deaths in Wuhan to be closer to 50k...
