Bad news of weekly data analysis on the coronavirus pandemic: the decline in infections, in fact, suffers a sudden slowdown. Cases of coronavirus infection in Italy in the week ending yesterday were 109,402 against 113,197 in the previous seven days. This is a reduction of 3.3 percent. The percentage reduction is much lower than the previous ones, which were 17, 17.7, 23.5 and 10.6 percent. Figures that show how much the pandemic continues to march in our country around Christmas.

And again, compared to last week in which there was only one Region where the seven-day data did not go down, in this there are ten regions and a province whose contagion is increasing: Basilicata (from 448 to 571), Liguria (from 1870 to 1927), Marche (from 2,369 to 2,594), Sardinia (from 1,959 to 2,130), Valle d’Aosta (from 139 to 168), Calabria (from 1,270 to 1,356) ), Emilia-Romagna (from 10,302 to 10,798), Lazio (from 9,022 to 9,361), Lombardy (from 14,684 to 15,435), Molise (from 377 to 385) and Province of Trento (from 1,429 to 1,444). Veneto, on the other hand, has remained practically stationary, going from 25,846 to 25,798.

From the point of view of hospitalizations, the decline in bed occupancy is not affected by the slowdown in infections. Yesterday, Tuesday, December 22, in fact, 27,635 people were hospitalized in the departments dedicated to the coronavirus, compared to 30,345, that is, 2,710 less (-8.9%). Last week the fall was 9.2% and the former by 9.1 percent. And again, with regard to intensive tears, they went from 3,003 beds occupied on December 15 to 2,687 yesterday (-316, that is, -10.5%). The previous week the decrease was 10.2%, the previous week 8.2%.

Finally the deaths: with the last bulletin there were 69,842 total victims while on December 15 there were 65,857. 3,985 people died in a week. Last week, 4,607 people lost their lives due to Covid. The decrease is 14.1%. The previous fall was smaller, 5.9% and the previous 3.6%. But, unfortunately, we know that the death curve follows that of remote infections: the peak of deaths occurs between two and four weeks after the recorded peak of infections. And that’s why the death curve drops more drastically, but the fear is that we’re moving fast toward a new glow.
