Coronavirus, the wave reaches hospitals: never so many hospitalizations in one day since the end of March. The call: “Act now to avoid lockdown”

Here comes the wave hospitals, with a daily increase of hospitalizations that had not been registered since emergency shutdown: +778 in Covid departments me +73 in intensive care. These are, respectively, the worst figures since March 27 (+1,276) and from March 30 (+75). The spectrum of saturation it’s still far away but i trend speak for themselves, acceleration is important and the number of infections risks precipitating the situation. There Lombardy put it on paper in the application with which he requested – and obtained – the curfew to the government through prospecting 4 thousand hospitalizations me 600 seats intensive care units employed by 30th of October no new anti-contagion measures.

In Lombardy hospitalizations tripled in 8 days – Regional data from the latest newsletter Ministry of Health confirm that the flood is increasing: +132 hospitalized in Covid wards in the last 24 hours and ten more patients in intensive care. And that’s not the biggest increase, since Piedmont makes worse with 154 patients with symptoms transferred to hospital facilities in the last hours and an extra bed occupied in resuscitation. Numbers that lead the region led by Alberto Cirio have more than a thousand infected under strict medical supervision and others 62 in the intensive care unit. Now difficult situation, as in Lazio where 66 hospitalizations of the last 24 hours constitute a 1,196 patients in Covid rooms and others 123 (+12) assisted in intensive care. The hindsight in October 12 °, just eight days ago, gives a clear idea of ​​what is happening: Lombardy has passed 463 a 1,268 hospitalized, the triple; Intensive care has also more than doubled, from fifty a 123. Piedmont instead had 457 infected in the hospital on October 12, they are now 1,037. And the number of infected in the ICU has almost tripled (since 22 a 62).

The other troubled regions – Complicated pictures, but not the only ones. In fact there is 4 other regions with more than 50 hospitalizations in the last twenty-four hours. 69 people transferred to the hospital in Liguria (which registers -2 in Uti), 63 in Veneto, 62 in Campania and fifty in Emilia romagna. And things are not going well either Tuscany, with 39 beds more occupied than Monday and +10 infected in intensive care. Those hospitalized also grow in Puglia (+35 in the room), Sicily and in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. More than ten hospitalizations in twenty-four hours also in Umbria (19), Sardinia (sixteen), Abruzzo (13) e Aosta Valley (10), where theParini Hospital is in danger and has been activated phase 3 “red level”. the Covid 2 cast of the Aosta structure, inaugurated just two days ago with 18 places, almost everything is already occupied. And the rooms infectious diseases me Covid 1 they are full. At the moment only the Molise does not register increases and is still thesingle region without becoming infected in resuscitation, while the Basilicata there is one more person in intensive care and a fair balance between inputs and outputs from Covid departments.

The acceleration of the last month – Exactly eight months later February 20th, the day the ‘patient 1’ in Codogno, Italy counts 8,454 hospitalized with symptoms and others 870 people in intensive care. The increase in the last month is considerable and opens gray scenarios for the coming weeks: the September 20 were 2,365 hospitalized patients and 222 in resuscitation. At the end of the day, the 30-day entry and exit balances speak of 6,089 extra beds occupied in Covid e departments 648 extra infected who need continuous care in the intensive care unit. “We have to act now, with vigorous measures, but still sustainable ”, is the appeal launched by the director of Infectious Diseases of the Sac, Massimo galliand colleagues Marino Faccini, director of the Uoc Preventive Medicine in Communities-Infectious Diseases of theAts Milan, e Marco Rizzi, Director of Infectious Diseases of the Pope John XXIII from Bergamo.

“We need specific and selective interventions” – “Let’s save theeconomy of a new one generalized blockade, which today would have serious social costs even greater and would put everyone in great difficulty “, they say in the letter inviting the authorities asking them to” take the necessary measures, as long as they are consistent with the expected result: at this delicate stage, targeted interventions and selective “, particularly in smart work me distance education. Large urban centers are worrying: not just the “seriously ill” Milan, a definite situation “Explosive” by the virologist Fabrizio Pregliasco, but also Rome me Genoa they live in difficult situations. “If in the dark period of the first few months you could surrender to the fact that you had Taken by surprise now the delay of one effective response it can no longer be justified ”, they underline, recalling that“ for several days the services of territorial prevention I can no longer perform on time contact tracking “. For this reason “it is no longer the time – write the signatories of the appeal – for exhausting discussions bearish negotiations, the sterile are distinguished. We know what to do to reduce the speed of the infection breed towards a point of no return, especially in areas where acceleration is stronger ”.
