Italy’s older population and overwhelmed healthcare system are two of the biggest causes behind its skyrocketing CCP virus death rate, according to Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
