If I'm not mistaken, Germany actually has a slightly older population than Italy. 

Yeah, but they mostly live alone or in retirement homes. As far as I understand in Italy old people often live with their family. This way they got exposed to the virus. In germany old people mostly had 'social distancing' in effect before the outbreak.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know.
