Italy's COVID death rate is now 8.3%, worldwide 4.1%.

Italy cases 35,713 (+4,207), deaths 2,978 (+475)
World 212,789 (+14,571), deaths (8,787) (+820)

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The reason for the exponentially rising number of deaths is quite clear - regions running out of ICU beds with ventilators.

(ie need ventilators). Italy has 3,000 ventilators, the US 68,000 with up to another 100,000 older models in reserve.
