Italy

I do wonder if the reason it's so high in Spain and Italy is down to the proximity of people's houses. In the towns and cities, they have many apartment blocks and in the old parts of their towns and cities, people live in alleyways barely wide enough to get a van down. It would partly explain why London is so much harder hit than the rest of this country.

Unfortunately the Black Country is suffering badly, in comparison to other areas.

Is it? Only Wolverhampton is in the top 30 worst hit areas (based on cases per 100,000 of population) and Sheffield is the only area outside of Greater London in the top 20.

There's a E&D report today on the death rate in the Black Country.
