Those people haven't stopped dying. As a comparison, 700 people have been dying every day for covid-19 in Italy. Also deaths are not (yet) evenly distributed but greatly concentated in the north.

You are building the world around your arguments. You have no proof but still talk, talk, talk.

What does that even mean? The world is what it is. Italy is seeing huge increases in background death rates at the moment, owing solely to COVID-19 (while at the same time seeing diminished deaths from things like traffic accidents, though not remotely enough to make up for all the extra COVID-19 deaths).

What is your argument exactly? It's a fact that Italy is running at a higher overall mortality rate owing to COVID-19.
