In Spain now they officially call him by his name: second hello, the second wave of the epidemic. The last bulletin of the Ministry of Health reported yesterday 10,764 new “positives” which brings the total number of infected in the country since the start of the pandemic to more than half a million bars: 554,143, to be precise. And the the first Western European country to exceed 500,000 cases. But mostly they care aboutincrease in ICU admissions and the threat of skiingI have been working since September 28 for the medical staff in Madrid, where yesterday there were 1,728 new infections, double the number the day before.
However, it is true that the daily count of the ministry does not include only the cases discovered with the tests (swabs and investigation of immunoglobulins in blood) carried out the day before: 4,137 yesterday, that is, 273 less than on Wednesday. But also the results of tests carried out on previous dates. This allowed the epidemiologist Fernando Simón, director of the Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, to assure that “the second wave is stabilizingAnd that “there is a slowdown in the increase in daily cases.” Although not in all regions. And unfortunately not in the capital.
Spain, the Chancellor: “It makes no sense to quarantine an entire nation. Hallways for tourism “
Hospitals are still far from collapsing or even chaos due to the overcrowding in March and April, but the wards are beginning to feel a gradual increase in pressure: the Community of Madrid registers 17% of rooms occupied by coronavirus, while the average Spain it is just over 7%. In absolute numbers, with 1,107 new entries, almost 8,400 patients affected by Covid-19 are currently hospitalized, of which 1,131 are in intensive care.
The largest union of primary health care physicians, Amyts, announced an indefinite strike for the “unsustainable amount of work” required to deal with the pandemic. If the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, does not accept a negotiation, from the 28th they will cross their arms, probably imitated by colleagues from other sectors.
The death toll inevitably gets worse too: 71 other death certificates were added yesterday, but in proportion to the number of infected, Spain is among the countries with the lowest fatality rate in Europe, along with Germany. Even with almost 30,000 losses officially recorded.
