A remark on data in Italy.

In the report from ISS [3] it is said that, as of 2020-03-13, in Italy there have been several deaths below the age of 50, in particular

• 4 cases in the age range 40-49
• 2 cases in the age range 30-39.

On the last two cases, it is known that they are

• one male person of age 39 with "psychiatric conditions, diabetes and obesity" who died at home,
• one female person of age 39 with "pre-existing cancer pathology" who died in hospital.

There are also other informations in that document (most common symptoms, most common patologies, statistics on the number of patologies). I'm not aware of data on the age distribution of people in ICU, but there is a well known case, "patient 1 from Codogno", of age 38 who was in critical conditions and was on ventilator for quite long.
