With an older population, a problematic medical system, and being caught totally unprepared, isn't Italy the worst case scenario? I don't think it would be representative of what's going to happen in other countries from here on out.

I don't know where this meme came from that Italy has a "problematic medical system" but that's certainly not true in Lombardy.

The US has a population riddled with comorbitities (obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc.), a problematic medical system, and was caught totally unprepared. Isn't the US the worst case scenario, with the most deaths and most infections in the world?

You pretty much just described the US.

Adjust your numbers for population. Per capita numbers for the US are far from the worse case scenario.
