In the northern cities that have borne the brunt of Italy’s more than 12,000 deaths, overall mortality among people age 65 and over was 6% below a baseline from previous years. In the cities of central and southern Italy, the deaths were 3% below normal.
The study didn’t specify how many fewer deaths there may have been, or by how much the pool of vulnerable people had increased.

British American Tobacco said Kentucky BioProcessing, a division of BAT’s Reynolds American Inc., could churn out between 1 million and 3 million doses of the vaccine using proteins extracted from tobacco leaves by that time, according to Reuters.
KBP would develop the vaccine on a not-for-profit basis, according to the tobacco giant, which noted that the effort also would require support from government agencies and the right manufacturers.
The vaccine, which is undergoing pre-clinical testing, uses a cloned part of the virus’s genetic sequence to make antigens — substances that spark an immune response in the body — that is inserted into tobacco plants for reproduction, according to the news outlet.

After installing the app, the police will start monitoring self-isolation compliance by people diagnosed with coronavirus, says Lysenko. Those who choose to recover from the disease at home will need to give their informed consent to installing and using the app. The agreement requires patients to install the app on a device with an active Internet and mobile communications connection. When registering, users must provide a photograph, passport information, and agree to transfer information to the city's Unified Data Storage and Processing Center. “This is necessary so law-enforcement agencies can monitor compliance with the self-isolation requirements,” says Lysenko.
The app will send push notifications to verify users’ locations. After each notification, users must access the app using facial recognition and then upload a live selfie. The “Social Monitoring” app will log users’ geolocations automatically. “This isn’t to track movements but to monitor when someone leaves their self-isolation address,” says Lysenko.
