How does this scenario explain what is happening in Italy?

They are different that we are. They are more crowded, grandparents usually live

If 20% of the population had it millions of our older people would be infected.

I don’t think the US is testing randomly enough to get a real figure. I could be wrong though

Germany has been far more random than SK. SK still only really tested
