“Next week will tell us if the curve has stabilized or will begin to fall. But if it does not go down, we must do something else. Because it is true that there is economic suffering, but we are charging an immense social and emotional price for many families. 9 thousand people have died since the beginning of the second wave, we must not forget. ”Thus Andrea Crisanti, director of microbiology and virology at the University of Padua, during the broadcast of Agorà on RaiTre, commented on the latest data from the pandemic in Italy .
“Surely the measures have had the effect of slowing down the trend of the curve,” he continued, “and the cases are not increasing at the rate of last week” but “we are facing small variations in the number of cases.” Basically, he concluded, “if we wanted to make the proportions and yesterday they had done the 210-220,000 swabs, we would have reached about 36-37,000 diagnosed cases.” And “compared to 40,000 last week, they are almost stable.”
“Are we imposing a major sacrifice on the Italians and are we accepting a very significant social sacrifice, with 500 dead a day, and then what do we do, do we reopen at Christmas to redo all the mess made in Sardinia this summer and start over? is it morally unacceptable? “said Andrea Crisanti, commenting on the hypothesis of easing anti-Covid measures in view of Christmas. The government’s objective, he added,” was to cushion the peak and extend the impact over a longer period so as not to compromise the economic component that they want to preserve for December, and it is an objective that they are achieving “.
