4 years ago The issue is that case is inferred from deaths and rounded case fatality. We need to find a way to reconcile with the Bollettino data, tbd.

When Age == 10 the number of cases is 0 (unlikely!). I think the cases here are estimated based on the death records, information which is taken from daily summarized info-graphics https://www.epicentro.iss.it/en/coronavirus/bollettino/Infografica_15aprile%20ENG.pdf .
However, note that on a weekly basis complete information by age and sex is provided (see April 16 https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Bollettino-sorveglianza-integrata-COVID-19_16-aprile-2020.pdf). The modeled daily data should be consistent with the complete weekly data at the nearest calendar date ...or removed.
Also if data is already reported in the desired age classes, I don't think any altering of the data should be applied. This is the case for the number of deaths displayed above. Only the deaths in the last reported age group 90+ should be split between 90 and 100. For all the other ages should be read as reported. I know this complicates a bit the coding but would be the right way to do it.
