Italy would have had a herd immunity
to the coronavirus without its lockdown but with many more
victims in six months, Higher Health Institute (ISS) chief
epidemiologist Giovanni Rezza said Friday.
If there is a so-called 'phase two', of 'living with the
virus, this will have to be very gradual, so as to limit the
risk of the fatalities curve heading up again, he went on.
Rezza also said that "if we had given up in the South we
would have had many more Codognos," referring to the Lombardy
town that was the centre of the first outbreak.
