Both the death toll and number of confirmed cases shot up again today and the nation has now recorded 41,035 infections, more than half of the world's positive cases.
Yesterday, Italy recorded the highest one-day official coronavirus death toll of any country with 475 deaths in just 24 hours.
The latest figures have squashed hopes that the unprecedented national lockdown was helping to slow the spread of the pathogen.

WNU Editor: My girlfriend's relatives in Italy are telling her to not trust the government's numbers. They are comparing the obituary pages that have exploded in the past two weeks to government announcements on how many people have died from the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, and there is no correlation. But what is even more frightening to me is what the above graph is showing .... that the exponential death rate in Italy is not even close to levelling off. And as for those Chinese numbers that everyone likes to quote. Do not trust them. I would not be surprised if years from now we learn that the numbers are 10x the official number, if not worse.

Update #2: And I am not surprised that they are going to extend the lock-down .... Italy passes China's coronavirus death toll, prepares to extend lockdown (Reuters).

Agree!
I apologize but I have to correct the claim that the numbers on COVID-19 given by the Italian government are unreliable. I am the G3 of the 1st Mobile Carabinieri Brigade (12 battalions scattered throughout the country) and one of the tasks of my branch is to monitor the number of infections among the brigade's soldiers and communicate them to the Civil Protection, also I compare myself daily with the G3 of the 2nd Carabinieri Mobile Brigade and I can guarantee that with cross checks the numbers are correctly disclosed to the press. I remember that Italy is the only country in the world that holds a press conference every day at 6.00 pm with the Head of Civil Protection and the Head of the Higher Institute of Health. What has emerged in recent weeks, if anything, is that China has lied about both the mortality rate and the infection rate. I wish everyone good health in these difficult times.

I haven't posted on this thread as yet. I believe you and the figures from Italy. I have a friend holed up in Bologna.
I've been waiting for figures out of a Western country so we could get an accurate picture. Nobody should believe anything that is put out by China with regards to statistics. They only want to save face.
Figures coming out of Italy are showing it far worse than anyone has anticipated in all metrics.
My main concern is the trend that its affecting circa 70% males, more than females.
Am I crazy to think this sounds engineered in a lab rather than some freak shift from animal to human transmission?
