Covid, because there will be no return to the cases of March and April. Gimbe Report
Infections from Covid on the rise, but even in the event of a second wave we will not see the March / April scenes. Here because. What does the report of the Gimbe foundation chaired by Cartabellotta say
The numbers of infections from Covid-19 have returned to rise in recent days, even exceeding 1,000 units. But, the Gimbe Foundation reassures, the numbers cannot be compared to those of the beginning of the pandemic because "the epidemiological dynamics are completely different".
Here are all the salient details that emerge from today's report of the foundation chaired by Nino Cartabellotta.
DIFFERENT EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DYNAMICS
The numbers of the new infections "cannot be compared with those of the first months of the epidemic", explained the president of the Gimbe Foundation, Nino Cartabellotta: "The epidemiological dynamics are completely different".
"We have never known the initial phase of the tsunami that struck our country: the coronavirus was circulating insidiously under the radar with thousands of asymptomatics who unknowingly infected relatives, friends and work colleagues. The rigorous and prolonged lockdown has reduced mortality, hospital admissions and the number of new cases, but since 3 June we have in fact "started off again", added Cartabellotta.
NO RETURN TO MARCH / APRIL
And therefore, even if the trend of new cases were to mean the beginning of a new wave "it is reasonably certain that we will not see the dramatic scenes of March / April again," according to Cartabellotta.
READY SANITARY SYSTEM
Why this certainty? “Because today the epidemiological situation is carefully monitored, the health service is well organized and, therefore, there can be no surprise effect. But we must not grant further advantages to the coronavirus, especially since the numbers always reflect the behaviors of 3-4 weeks ago ”, said the president of Gimbe.
A GROWING TREND
However, it cannot be denied that the number of cases is growing. According to the independent monitoring of the Gimbe foundation, from 1,408 new cases reported in the week of 15-21 July, they went to 6,538 new cases in the week of 19-25 August, with an increase in the positive / case ratio tested from 0.8% to 2, 1%
