In 2020 there would be a reduction, in terms of life expectancy, "significantly more marked in the Northern Provinces": in those most affected by Covid-19, especially in the North-West and along the Apennine ridge, "we would go from one life expectancy at birth of nearly 84 years, to one of about 82 ". So Istat in the report on the mortality scenarios that as the first signature among the curators has the president of the Institute, the demographer Gian Carlo Blangiardo. And all this in the "moderate" hypothesis, intermediate between the "optimistic" and "pessimistic" scenario.
In the Provinces of Bergamo and Cremona, the most affected by Covid, life expectancy at birth would decrease by more than 5 years in the "pessimistic" scenario developed by Istat. And in Bergamo the loss, calculating the life that remains at the 65th birthday, would even reach six years.
