Possible this is due to under reporting in China although Italy 45.5 has one of the oldest populations in the world compared to China 37.4

Hubei has a population of 20 million and they had 3,000 deaths.
You almost need to do figures for Hubei and figures for the rest of China.
Deaths in Italy are spiking due to their limited supply of ventilators and triage of available services. People over a certain age or with low chances of recovery are not being intubated.
Sure their older population is a consideration.
