Please note that Lombardy has a very very good health service. The OECD put a score on this [1]: 9.9/10. This is in the top 5% across all regions.
Other european regions seem to have lower average scores and their governments are not taking serious actions. [2]
How the US is reacting from my perspective (italian confined near Rome) seems borderline madness.
Something about this situation confuses me a lot.
Note that OECD's 9.9/10 is based on mortality rate and life expectancy, and therefore not a direct indicator of health service quality. Maybe the air in Italy is just very clean and the food healthy.
