And you do understand Italy is mostly catholic? And Cremation is not in high demand from those that are catholic?
So your innuendo fails on many levels. Unless you can cite facts?
The Vatican announced Tuesday that Catholics may be cremated but should not have their ashes scattered at sea or kept in urns at home. According to new guidelines from the Vatican's doctrinal office, cremated remains should be kept in a "sacred place" such as a church cemetery. Ashes should not be divided up between family members, "nor may they be preserved in mementos, pieces of jewelry or other objects." The church has allowed cremation for decades, but the guidelines make clear that the Vatican is concerned that the practice often involves "erroneous ideas about death." Those ideas run the gauntlet from deeply nihilistic to New Age-y, the Vatican says, from the belief that death is the definitive end of life to the notion that our bodies fuse with nature or enter another cycle of rebirth.
Funeral services are overwhelmed in Bergamo, the northern Italian city hit hardest by the coronavirus outbreak, with a crematorium operating 24 hours a day
The mayor of Bergamo, for example, recently said that the crematory in his city is “unable to dispose of all the work it has to do,” as it has received an overabundance of bodies of those who have died due to the Chinese virus. “The crematory is no longer enough,” said Bergamo mayor Giorgio Gori.

Reports out of Italy are indicating that they don't have enough crematories to keep up with the influx of corpses.
Before that, we heard about how they don't have enough intensive care units at their hospitals to handle all the serious/critical coronavirus patients.
Seems like the virus might be a real life problem.
There must be something either different about Italians....or something protecting Americans....or both.

There is still a calculation to arrive at how many must contract Covid-19 to fill X number of ICU beds, based on a .02% of the population contracting the disease to be sick enough to require hospitalization. What is the formula?

My state says out of 168 CoronaVirus Cases, only 11 required hospitalization. 4 of those 11 have already been discharged. Only 1 has died. This is over a two month period of time, mind you.
More people went to the hospital, and also died, from the common Flu over the past two months.
As is always the case, you, and each of us, are free to believe whatever we want to believe. I hope you're satisfied with your view of life. I am.

What's crazy is when I hear "experts" say, to get the hospital numbers up, we need more Covid-19 testing.
Do you or I need a test to determine if we are sick enough to go to the hospital???
Maybe those pin-heads with advance degrees really believe what they're saying? I'd rather believe that, than to think they're just treating the audiences as dumb sheep, who believe whatever lie they're peddling that day.

Italy’s Coronavirus Victims Face Death Alone, With Funerals Postponed
March 16, 2020
An emergency national law issued last week banned civil and religious ceremonies, including funerals,

Don't be the retard that causes someone to die. You might be pretty safe from this virus, as far as you know, but your neighbors, or your family members, or your coworkers or your friends might have an underlying condition, perhaps that they don't even know about, that will put them in serious risk. The way this virus kills is agony. Don't be the one that condemns someone to that fate. Start enacting the mitigation measures right now.
How are bodies being cremated if funerals are banned as stated in the article from March 16th?

I realize you’re trying to take the most ignorant stance possible so you can play dumb more effectively but surely you understand that a cremation and a funeral are two different things, right?

And where is there an abnormal rate of flu mortality in the USA this flu season.
But panic and use all bold face and stuff.
