Of course it is you twit. 5000 is a tiny fraction of the Italian population and an even tinier fraction of the world population. The only reason why it's having an impact is because the deaths are all happening in a short space of time.
It's like a plane crash vs a car accident. One hits the news headlines while the other is commonplace despite that fact that more than a million die from auto accidents every year while plane crashes only kill a few hundred.
60 MILLION people die annually from a variety of causes but primarily from old age. Covid-19 may speed things up a bit in certain countries but it won't make a dent in the overall numbers.
I agree and am with you on this.
