I saw that the average age in Italy of those who died from Covid back on Friday or Sat was still 81 years old (don't have the link for that one). I have no idea if it's moved any since then, but they had a substantial number of mortalities at that point.

If the magic bullet for mortality is age, we'll be fine relative to global numbers. If it's pre-existing conditions, we're in trouble. Though those two things do go hand in hand to a degree of course, but we do love our diabetes, obesity and hypertension here.
