Coronavirus, the data for Friday, October 9: 5372 positives and 28 deaths. The swabs were 129,471

Coronavirus infections continue to grow in Italy. In the last 24 hours, the positives have increased by 5,372 (yesterday they were 4,458), with 28 deaths. The swabs, according to data from Ministry of Health, there were 129,471. The third peak peaked in three days. The wave of infections continues its rise with the rhythms of the emergency phase of six months ago, although the relationship between hospitalizations and ICU admissions is very different. For now. Currently, no region of Italy has zero new cases. Molise is the one that registers the least infections today with 11 new cases. Slight increase in + 1,186 in the last 24 hours: the total since the start of the pandemic amounts to 237,549. After the previous jump, with the curve already rising in almost a thousand cases with respect to the daily trend, the latest bulletin raises the bar even more: 5,372 and similar figures could not be seen in the hardest moments. Although it should be taken into account that the figures for March and April reflect almost entirely people who were hospitalized and / or with obvious symptoms of Covid, whereas now we must consider that with the expansion of the number of buffers, the a large number of asymptomatic people (which are infectious even if they are not sick).

In the account you must also insert lots of positive control swabs: those who do not negative are obviously counted. And even the death figures are not comparable to last spring: 28 compared to the hundreds of victims registered in the hardest and most painful weeks. But with the virus that continues to make people sick – now many also in the Center and South – the first mini-closures have been triggered in some territories, such as in Latina, with an ad hoc ordinance from the Lazio Region. Although today he is president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, threat of total closure if infections continue to increase. The request of the Scientific Technical Committee reformulate the protocols on some already planned demonstrations: first, in order of time, the procession of deniers on Saturday in Rome and on Sunday the March for Peace in Assisi. It will be necessary to understand what results the provisions of the Dpcm will give, which leaves the Regions the freedom to fix other straits: the objective is to avoid the blockage of productive activities in the country and the true line of comparison is above all the situation of the intensive care.

Current positives have passed the 70,000 mark: now there are 70,110, with an increase of 4,158 in one day, while the most cured are only 1,186 for a total of 237,549. The positives in home isolation have also increased by almost 4,000, now 65,637. I am the Lazio with 853 and the Campania with 576 the regions in which the highest number of hospitalized with symptoms and also the highest number of admissions to ICU 57 and 63 respectively. Below is the list of regions with more patients with symptoms Sicily (376), Lombardy (371), Piedmont (345) e Apulia (300). “We must keep our attention high, we will have very difficult weeks ahead – says Lazio Region Health Councilor, Alessio D’Amato – In Lazio the Rt value is 1.19, the positive / buffer ratio equal to 2.7 % “.

The data from Lombardy, hard hit in the first wave of the epidemic, concern Governor Attilio Fontana: “Today, dear Lombards, especially young people, I need your full attention and cooperation.. Our region is doing better than others, but infections are growing and you can see it. I have to ask you for more attention and responsibility: distance, hand washing, masks. With friends, in restaurants, at night, at school, in the square. This new normal we find ourselves in requires everyone’s work. Think of your parents, your grandparents, your friends, yourself. This struggle sees all of us as indispensable, I need your collaboration – says the president in an appeal on Facebook the day the region registers 983 new cases of positivity – The trend of the epidemiological curve of Covid-19 in Lombardy is increasing. I am addressing you in particular – he says addressing young people – because the analysis of the data shows that unlike what happened at the beginning of the pandemic orr the age group most susceptible to infection is between 20 and 29 years old (March was from 70 to 79) and dissemination opportunities are activities related to free time. Contrary to what happened in the peak period of expansion of the virus, with an increasing number of positives, fortunately we are not witnessing an exponential growth of hospitalizations and intensive care, but this does not reassure us, we must keep our guard up … If so, it is true that our ability to track, isolate and extinguish outbreaks has improved – continues Fontana – it is equally true that we still do not know enough about this virus to avoid the danger that the situation will rapidly precipitate ”.

L ‘Faculty of Health calls for rigorous behavior because the latest data show “important signs of criticality and a significant burden on health services.” Therefore, it is recommended to “avoid public and private events aggregation risk“Only 2.5% of new outbreaks come from school, while family members are relevant.
