Pierluigi Cocco, an Italian epidemiologist, has told the BBC that, although it is still early, there are a host of reasons.
The first “, the disease can be genetic”, he says, saying that the effects of the virus “can be changed in all ethnic groups, as well as individuals”.
Some can carry the virus without any symptoms, and others die quickly, with a whole range of severity”, he says.
He adds that Italy is one of the oldest countries in the world, and elderly people are generally more sensitive to confronting more serious consequences after they are infected.
There are other contributing factors, according to him, such as the cultural and social attitude of the Italians.
The subx0thalists prefer to meet in large groups and exchange love signs with each other. Families also remain known for generations, often accompanied together”, Cocco has said.
In addition to that, air pollution can be a possible reason for high mortality in the north.
The industrial activity plants in the area, accompanied by urban traffic and climate features of the Po” Valley, make air pollution worse, thus increasing the spread of diseases that make people more sensitive to the effects of Covid-1950, he said. /Telegraphy/
