Today’s newsletter
Positive 2191 m in the last 24 hours (incidence 5.23%, positive percentage in the swabs performed). As of February 21, 2020 359,247, current positives 36442. Hospitalized 1807, a sharp increase: 1600 in non-critical area (+58), 207 in intensive care (+4). Ten days ago there were 88 people in intensive care. Deaths +59 in the last 24 hours. The complete vaccinations carried out to date are 556,366. “Life outside is normal – said the governor – but in fact 198 people in the last 48 hours had to ring the bell in the emergency room because they could not breathe. And until the end of March, the situation will remain challenging, according to our forecasting models. We risk reaching 300 people in intensive care: it is a repeat of March last year, we are in that situation».
Restrictions after Easter
“After Easter, I hope we see the light and end the restrictions.”
Vaccination point and Astrazeneca
“The authorities should clear up the Astrazeneca as soon as possible. Since the first reports there are no correlations between deaths / injuries and the vaccine. Statistically there may be cases that arise dissociated from the issue of vaccines. If there is no clinical link, vaccines must be reauthorized. For us Veneto Astrazeneca represents 50%. Furthermore, no serious adverse reactions to Anglo-Swedish serum were recorded in the region. Yesterday 11,942 vaccinations were carried out, which is a very good result. The blockade caused us to lose about 10,000 vaccines a day. Let me be clear: you were right to fail as a precaution. The goal of insuring stands firm before summer at least those over 70».
Supervision
«We are in favor of a follow-up of pre and post vaccination coagulation levels in volunteers advanced by Professor Paolo Simioni, from the University of Padua, an expert in blood diseases and who made himself available. S.and in my opinion it could be done with all vaccines. This is a project that has not yet been developed and then it will have to be presented to the ethics committee.
Second dose of Astrazeneca
“When fully operational, 1,300 people will work to produce 50,000 vaccines a day in Veneto. We have 12 weeks for the second Astrazeneca doses. I hope everything goes well in the next few hours. Otherwise we should think of alternatives, in April we can use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which includes a single dose.
Letters to the elderly, frail patients: verification and plan
“As of Monday, the program was scheduled to start from the class of 1938 and from 1911 to 1932. Next Monday it would be the turn of the classes 1937-1930-1931-1932. The last week of March is the turn of the classes 1933-1934-1935 ”. How are the elderly counseled? Do the ULS send letters home to the elderly or ask for reservations to be made online or by phone at the Cups? The Region undertakes to conduct a survey and tomorrow, Thursday 18, to provide a response. Tomorrow the Region will present the regional plan for fragile patients, including disabled people and caregivers (caregivers). On the other hand, the elderly have received complaints that they do not receive letters from the Uls and do not understand what they should do.
