905 new infections have been found in the last 24 hours, well below the more than a thousand seen last week. From this we could conclude that the epidemic is at least stagnant, but it is important to add that in the last 24 hours not much more than 6400 tests were carried out – spectacularly the limit of testing capacity has been reached, so the daily case numbers they are certainly less and less relevant. image of the current situation of the epidemic.
In the last 24 hours, 11 people have died, a figure almost equal to the average of the last 7, when an average of 12 people lost their lives every day. However, from the rapid spread of the epidemic, we can conclude that the number of deaths is likely to increase in the coming weeks as well; we just hope that is not the case.
We also see a slowdown in the increase in active cases, but this can also be misleading due to a decrease in testing capabilities. Due to the high proportion of mild and asymptomatic symptoms and the oversaturation of the testing system, we can say the same for active cases as for new ones every day: in fact, we do not know how many times the actual number of active cases is officially reported .
According to the official announcement, 649 people are being treated at the hospital, a very significant decrease from the 685 yesterday. The decline seems gratifying, but let’s not forget that sadly 11 of them had to be discounted because they had died in the last 24 hours. It is also not ruled out that it is a slow launch, and the number of hospital admissions will increase in the coming days, hopefully not. In general, it is particularly strange that the number of hospital admissions is decreasing as the disease reaches the elderly (the average age of those infected is increasing) and there is an increasing incidence of the disease in the country. There are currently 40 on a fan.
We have already mentioned previously that in the last 24 hours just over 6,400 tests have been carried out, we only saw fewer samples than yesterday, September 22. As you can see, the 7-day moving average of the number of tests performed has been steadily decreasing over the past two weeks, which means that we are testing less and less.
It is a sad and striking fact that the proportion of positive tests within the tests carried out is 14%; this is an absolute record. The higher this rate in a country, the less the authorities control the epidemic. The test positivity rate has gradually increased in recent weeks.
In the last 24 hours, most of the patients were found in Budapest, 216. In the municipality of Pest 115 new diseases were registered in the last 24 hours, in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén the number of diseases also increased significantly, in 164 In addition, 75 new patients from Nógrád, 51 from Veszprém county, 44 from Győr-Moson-Sopron county and 40 from Heves were notified. In the other counties, the number of new diseases was below 40, and in Békés the number decreased by 5; no doubt they have been reclassified to another county.
