Aside due to the fact that there were high number of cases and the skewed death rate towards the elderly, couldn't also this be due to the fact that (at least in Italy) tests are done only if a patient is hospitalized?
I mean, the evidence is so far scant and anecdotal, but the timeline for treatment (I'm aware only remedisivir has been proven to be effective, but protocols also use other drugs, even if the efficacy is unknown) suggests that the earlier the treatment, the more effective it will be.
If only admitted patients are tested, that usually means a lag from symptom onset, which may ultimately be detrimental.
