In an interview with the Italian television station La7, Giuseppe Remucci, director of the Mario Negri Institute of Pharmacology in Milan, said that “patients with Covid 19 are now completely different from those who got sick three or four weeks ago.” “First, eighty people with severe breathing problems came to the emergency room, and now eight out of ten can go home and receive treatment there,” he added.
“It is as if we are dealing with a disease that is very different from the one that put a lot of pressure on the infrastructure of the Italian health system at the beginning of this pandemic,” Remucci said.
However, he explained that he did not know if the virus had mutated or if each patient’s viral load had changed. “However, it is clear that people who are infected right now are definitely better off than those who got sick two months ago,” said Mario Negri, director of the Institute of Pharmacology.
He says he is optimistic about the treatment being tested in many Italian hospitals and is based on donating antibody plasma from patients who have been treated. “If, as I think, the evidence shows that this treatment is effective, we can make it accessible to everyone,” the Italian scientist concluded.
