Veneto is under pressure, but the system is holding up, although the death toll for COVID-19 in the region it is however heavy. The governor is convinced of it Luca zaia that Treviso witnessed the first vaccines against Covid. “Nearly 3,400 people hospitalized at the moment, of which 391 are in intensive care: you feel the pressure, you feel it strong,” he said. Veneto, he noted, “is not like Bergamo, I would like to remind you that thanks to the cyclopean work of our men and women we take care of all patients and we are treating them.”
At Christmas 5,010 boxes, never so many in two weeks. 36.3% positivity rate
AND GIVE
“We have had more than 6,000 people who have lost their lives – he observes – now, sadly, the mortality classification is heavy”. Let’s start with Lombardy with almost 24,000 dead and 10 million inhabitants – the Governor’s lists -, Piedmont with 7,400 dead and 4 million 300,000 inhabitants, Liguria with 2,500 dead but 1 and a half million inhabitants, Emilia Romagna with 6,600 dead and 4 million and 300 thousand inhabitants and then ahead with 6,000 dead. For Zaia “it is a tragic and crazy outcome.”
“If they had told us a year ago what we have experienced so far – he points out – we would have said that it is a science fiction film. we are fully involved in this, but the Venetian health system has fully demonstrated its excellence.
Bulletin
There is no sign of stopping the positive data in Veneto: in the last 24 the regional bulletin registered 3,337 new cases, bringing the total to 240,652. The deaths are 52 (6,038 deaths in total); the total number of positive hospitalized patients increased by 37 patients and the number of patients currently in intensive care by 5.
Vaccinations
“We will be the first to vaccinate health workers and guests of our nursing homes. Potentially we will have almost 60,000 health workers to vaccinate and the same number, including health professionals and patients, in the world of rsa ”, recalled Zaia. “The choice was made voluntarily – he emphasizes – but it is true that I say that herd immunity with this vaccine is achieved with 65% of those vaccinated. It means that once again those who get vaccinated will do it for themselves but also for those who cannot or do not want to do it.
36% positivity rate
“Yesterday the news was spread that Veneto has 36% positive swabs in those made: the truth is that we do a lot of molecular and fast swabs but if all the positives are loaded only in the molecular ones, a high percentage comes out,” then he said. “Unfortunately, the current regulations, which are in February,” he explains, “establishes that the percentage of positives is based on molecular, because at that time there were no rapids, which appeared in summer. The Ministry has said that it will change this problem.
Mutations
“At this moment there are eight mutations in Veneto, we found three English mutations in five samples,” the governor recalled then, underlining that the Region “was the first to find the English mutation.” Of the eight variants, “there are two – he says – typically Venetian. This is a topic that we want to investigate to understand what characteristics they have.
