Health Minister Speranza appeared in the Senate at around 9 on Wednesday, November 2, to illustrate the content of the new Dpcm “Di Natale”, recalling the importance of anti-contagion measures to limit the health service to withstand the impact of the second wave of contagion. “From the analysis of the data – he said – it appears that the set of measures adopted gives the first results, the daily increase in infections decreases and the Rt index in four weeks went from 1.7 to 1.08 “.
“The situation is very serious – he continued – and it cannot be underestimated, but it is clear that the limitations are working. In March, it was Italy that showed other Western countries the way to tackle the pandemic, with the shutdown. We are now managing the second wave trying to avoid a second widespread lockdown.. The model that consists of diversifying the level of risk in the regions and the security measures shows that we can break the curve avoiding confinement and the social and economic consequences, a result that cannot be taken for granted ”.
“It takes more weeks of sacrifices to consolidate these results, do not think about escaping a ray of sunlight through a narrow escape, the contagion wave remains high, if we lower our guard, the third wave appears just around the corner – Esperanza’s notice – We must not lose our memory, now we know how the virus works. Too many said that the virus had lost steam and that they could stop following the rules, starting with the masks. The results are there for all to see, sadly “.
A frontal attack, therefore, not only to the deniers, but also to the doctors who had spoken of a virus now “dead”, only to be denied by the figures, very heavy read by the minister in the Senate, describing the second surge, among other things. in full swing.
Then, the occupancy rates of non-critical intensive care medical departments were provided, which went from 7% and 4% respectively that characterize a normal period to the current 50% and 38%..
Hope’s key concept was that, In a society like the current one, living with the virus without limiting travel is not possible, without paying a very high tax, in terms of deaths and impact on the hospital system..
The Government’s options for the next Dpcm are two: maintain the classification model of the Regions, structured in three levels of risk and contagion; and reinforce the limitations, also within the framework of a European coordination that Italy is promoting. “We must limit contacts between people as much as possible – said Speranza – during the holidays, international and regional movements must be limited and, on the most important days of the festival, movements between municipalities must also be limited. We will have to avoid gatherings in municipalities with a tourist vocation, with special attention to ski resorts ”.
Classification of the Regions by scenario and risk index, with the three zones – “that gave satisfactory results” –
