However, examining the differing outbreak magnitudes in regions with different ICU availability evidenced a discrepancy in the percentage of ICU-admitted patients. Indeed, there was a higher mortality rate in the northern region where fewer patients could be admitted into an ICU. Paolo Immovilli, Nicola Morelli, Elio Antonucci, Guido Radaelli, Mario Barbera, and Donata Guidetti are responsible for study design and all authors wrote and reviewed the manuscript.
