Is it just the usual Italian media practice of cranking things up even further or is there evidence of this from government sources?

An Italian doctor was on the radio explaining that they are already selecting patients for treatment.
The elderly and ill are being overlooked for the younger patients with more chance of surviving.
I’m sure the same will happen here if the worst happens.

Think of the savings on pensions they won’t have to pay out, or am I just being cynical.

Short term though, because the coffin dodger might not claim his pension for much longer anyway.
Keep a young person going and they could claim their pension for years.

A quick look on skyscanner shows me that you can still purchase return flights to Italian cities supposedly on lock down. Why is that?

Because the "lock down" only applies to locals. Foreigners can fly in & out, and Italians from other parts of Italy can leave the area.

Not for coronavirus yet, but it already happens in our NHS.
I doubt that it has anything to do with saving pensions payments, more a way of rationing scarce medical resources to where there is more chance of successful treatment.
Depends. It was like this on Saturday afternoon, although it hasn't spread like mad so maybe it is more the speculative end.
Or it could just reflect that the ban has been very widely flouted.
BA has just suspended services to several Italian airports.

That's out of those who've been tested. If you have the symptoms but haven't been to non UK affected areas or knowingly been in contact with someone who has, then they are not interested in testing you.
