Coronavirus, intensive care is alert: exceeded 100: this had not happened since mid-June

We are not yet at a figure that can trigger the alarm, but that certainly requires caution. In fact, the curve has had a notable increase in recent days, associated with the increase in total cases. If from June to July intensive therapies have been constantly emptied, reaching the figure of 38 in total, from that moment on they have started to rise. First slowly, with some new daily hospitalizations, and then with an increasing incidence, until the last week, with an acceleration that may be related to the increase in total cases in recent weeks, when it began to exceed a thousand infections a day .

“The increase in hospitalizations for resuscitation is recorded on average 2 or 3 weeks after infections – explains to the” Press “Antonino Giarratano, vice president of the company for anesthesia, analgesia, resuscitation and intensive care, making it almost sure that the curve will continue to grow from now until the end of the month without causing an undue panic. And even if at this time the number of hospitalized in intensive care is higher than on February 29 (105), or just before the spread of the epidemic, the general scenario is very different.
