Ask HN: Less strict than r/Covid-19 but still reasonable Subreddit?

I think I have possibly discovered the main reason why the COVID-19 in Italy is so devastating but I am lacking scientific background to discuss this idea (I have just a master in CS) and the idea is so recent that I have not had much time to refine it fully.

Still, if the hypothesis is correct then it can help Spain, that has similar social structure as Italy, to save possibly thousands of lives.

The main concept behind the idea is comparison between mortality in Italy and Germany and conclusion that the cause of the high mortality in Italy is members of extended family living together - younger generation has mild or no symptoms that is then infecting older generation under the same roof resulting in high mortality.

I have created GitHub Pages based website to explain the idea in more detail http://www.savespain.eu/ The main reason for choosing GitHub is allowing transparency and collaboration.

I am looking for an channel where I could discuss this idea.

I completely understand that it sounds like a speculation from a crazy amateur but there is too little time and there are so many lives at stake, I really think it deserves some spotlight.
