Lombardy has half the test coverage of Norway, per capita. About 6% of the tests that are performed in Norway test positive for the virus. If 50% of the tests performed in Lombardy are positive as you say, then it is highly likely that they are not able to test enough people and have to focus on strongly suspected cases.

Other countries that have high testing rates - Germany, South Korea, all show a much lower CFR than Italy.

I'm sure the death rate will be much lower as what we have right now in the Lombardy but it will be also much higher as what Norway has right now until we find better medication.

And let's hope we won't get a second wave even worse than this one

If that was your point, I never suggested otherwise. I just pointed out that Norwegian data is enough to easily disprove any ludicrous notion of a 15% fatality rate.
