I would recommend everyone watch UK Column's take on COVID-19. The WHO actually has accurate statistics on this virus that everyone should download.

In Italy, the typical death rate is about 622 thousand people per year. This translates to about 1700 per day.

But Coronavirus killed 919 people in a 24-hour period ending on 2020-03-27.

Assuming it added deaths to the regular rate, you were only 1.84 times more likely to die of other causes, not 218x.

Unfortunately, those stats we can not say for sure. They have been claiming people have died with COVID-19. Not because of, and again, the mortality rate based on infection rate in endemic areas means you are 218x more likely to die of lofe than the virus. Search UK column's youtube video from 3 days ago and watch the doctor/acientist explain it. You're cherry picking data.

Oh, I just realized. Also, I did not cherrypick, because you mentioned "endemic area". Is Italy not an endemic area?

No, not all of Italy. If you take the provinces of say China, most provinces had 2-3 deaths or none at all. And most of the statistics are manipulated and over-exaggerated.

not all of Italy

So, my estimate for dying of other causes would be higher (closer to yours). Yet it's still 100 times smaller.

China

China has had about 3300 deaths. That may be because they acted quickly and implemented strict quarantine, or may be because they're lying. But going against a government implies a serious burden of proof, which you do not offer.
