Over 5% of Italian GDP comes from tourism and this panic is not helping. First, if you're immune system is good, you're likely not going to die.

Moreover: 400 proven cases for 60M Italians. That is 0.0006% of incidence. If we look at the death rate, that's 0.000016%. The odds of being struck by lightning are 0.03%. That's 2,000 times more likely to die from coronavirus in Italy.
