However, the number of swabs analyzed is also decreasing (about 18 thousand less). A week ago, the new cases had been 26,323 at 225,940. If we compare the cases registered between Monday and Saturday, the variation in the last four weeks was -34% compared to a reduction of 10% in the tests. Therefore, the numbers are improving.

Compared to last week, between Monday and Saturday, 30,881 fewer cases were recorded. The slowdown becomes even more evident if we take the figures from two weeks ago. And even if we take the figure from four weeks ago, we see that the curve is definitely flexing (-68.360).
Perhaps the most positive trend is represented by the number of hospitalizations in medical services, which today are 1024 less than yesterday. The pressure on hospitals “is decreasing,” Franco said today Locatelli, President of the Higher Health Council (Css) and member of the Scientific Technical Committee (Cts), adding that “the next few weeks will be crucial to avoid critical situations”,

Admissions to intensive care also decrease, today 192 (the data is only available from the day before yesterday)
Entrance to intensive care

Therefore, the intensive care units remain empty where 3,517 patients are hospitalized today, 50 fewer than yesterday.
The positivity rate also fell from 11.3% yesterday to 10.7%.
On the other hand, in the last 24 hours, 662 deaths were registered, down from yesterday’s figure (814). Comparing the numbers of the current week with those of the last weeks, however, in this case there is no slowdown, quite the opposite. As Davide Torlo points out on Twitter, the variation with respect to the average of the last four weeks is + 31%

“The dead from the second wave have the same characteristics as those from the first wave,” he said today. Locatelli on SkyTg24. “They are subjects over 80 years of age, mostly men, there is a proportion of patients who lose their lives in intensive care but there is a very significant proportion who lose their lives even though they are not hospitalized in intensive care. quite a mixed picture “.
Crisanti: “Deaths decrease only in three weeks”
According to the virologist Andrea Crisanti, “to see a decrease in the number of deaths we will have to wait three weeks. The number of deaths – he explained – is a function of the patients, we had two or three weeks with more than 30 thousand cases a day, and that is the effect “.
“The real challenge will be after Christmas – added the virologist – because with these numbers I don’t think we can resume a normal life. And to see the impact of vaccination “and understand if we reach 70% of immunized Italians” we will wait until June. The vaccine will take between 6 and 7 months to take effect. “” We still do not have a system to ensure that, if the cases go down, they continue like this, “he added.
