Milan, August 30, 2020 – Yesterday they were eighteen Lombard infected with coronavirus in intensive care: one more than Friday, four more than Thursday when they had dropped at 2 p.m. from 5 p.m. Wednesday, even though there had been no deaths that day. But who are the people who end up intubated with Covid pneumonia at the end of August, about a hundred times lower than the peak in April, when there were about 1,400 ventilator patients, and they are concentrated in a handful of more specialized hospitals? including the Polyclinic and the Sacco of Milan, the Civile of Brescia and the San Matteo of Pavia?
in the meantime these are not people who have been in intensive care for weeksAccording to what Il Giorno can reconstruct through sanitary sources, very few reached the hospital before mid-August, and almost half were hospitalized in the last week. The identikit of these patients is also different from that observed in intensive care during the health emergency: half are women, the average age is just over 55 years, one in two is under sixty, a couple is in their forties and there is also a 24-year-old hospitalized in the Milan Polyclinic and an eighteen-year-old in San Matteo de Pavia, even if the latter does not have Covid pneumonia, as almost all Lombards currently in intensive care do. Almost all of these patients, including the younger ones, are intubated patients.
In the Covid wards for less serious patients yesterday those hospitalized were 185, thirteen more than Friday. There have been no deaths from coronavirus in Lombardy, from Tuesday to Thursday, while on Friday there were three, and they brought the balance of the pandemic to 16,860 lives. Yesterday 289 new infected Lombards were discovered, twenty-seven less than on Friday but with a thousand fewer tampons than the other day (18,701 against 19,721); the swabs / positives ratio, specified in the regional bulletin, however, was slightly reduced to 1.54 percent. Of the 289 new positives, 38 are “weak”, nine discovered through a serological test and again almost half are from the province of Milan, where a third of the Lombards live and which yesterday registered 140 new infected, of which 86 they were concentrated in the city: more than 133 on Friday (81 in the capital) and 136 on Thursday (76 in the city).
From what Il Giorno learns, more than a third of the new Milanese positives are under the age of 25, and almost half are between the ages of 25 and 50. A distribution that follows that of the Lombards who discover they have the coronavirus at the end of August, younger than those diagnosed in phase 1: of the 289 infected yesterday, almost 80 percent are under fifty years old and 68% are It is in the range between 18 and 49. More than 10 percent are minors, slightly less than 45% are between 25 and 49 years old and almost one in four is a young person between eighteen and twenty-five years old. It is mainly about re-entry infections: about two thirds of new positives daily, explained the councilor in recent days. Giulio Gallera Welfare are people who have returned from abroad or their close contacts. Also due to the effect of tampons, it has almost doubled since August, when carpet checks began on those returning from some Schengen area countries considered to be of greater risk by the Ministry of Health. But the progression of import cases has been dizzying for more than a month in Lombardy: they were 86 in the last week of July and after a slowdown at the end of August they shot up to 273 between August 3 and 9, 235 between August 10 and 16, 322 between August 17 and 23. The partial balance for the last week is 321, not counting the cases that will be added today. They are already more than three times more than a month ago.
