1, Italy lacks medical equipment. We should all know the shortage of medical equipment in Italy, especially ventilators. Because COVID-19 is the most harmful to people's lungs, critically ill patients must rely on ventilators for treatment. Without a ventilator, the patient can only wait for death. It is for this reason that the death toll in Italy remains high. Even if our country donated 65438+ ten thousand ventilators, it is still a drop in the bucket. The mortality rate in COVID-19 is still rising.
2. There are many confirmed cases and many severe cases. The number of confirmed cases in Italy has now exceeded100000. At present, the number of confirmed cases in the world is second only to that in the United States, and because of the large number of confirmed cases in Italy and the fact that many people didn't care in the early stage, the number of critically ill patients in Italy has increased. When there are many seriously ill patients, let's go back to the above questions. They don't have so many ventilators for patients, which leads to more and more patients dying.
3. Medical technology is not as advanced as Germany and America. Among European countries, Italy's medical level is not too high, and there is still a certain gap with Germany and the United States. Especially in Germany, the medical level is scary. There are about 90,000 patients in Germany now, but their mortality rate is less than 1%. It is because Germany's medical technology and level are higher than Italy's, and the United States doesn't care about the epidemic, so their mortality rate is about 6%, which is much lower than Italy's.
To sum up, I think the main reasons for the high mortality rate in Italy are the large number of critically ill patients, the lack of medical materials and the fact that medical technology is not as good as that in Germany and other countries, resulting in a particularly high mortality rate in Italy.
