The Italian Civil Protection Department seems annoyed at the suggestions the crisis could have overwhelmed medical services in Lombardy. Mentions efforts to distribute masks, ventilators etc. Pointed out again their death rate, per age bracket, is comparable or lower than what China divulged in early February. Only four people under the age of 60 have died. But they've appeared to admit today's deaths refer to cases contracted weeks ago and real numbers were and are much higher.
