APULIA BECOMES A RED REGION – “Puglia becomes a red region”: this is what asked the president of the Bari Medical Association and the National Federation of Medical Orders, Filippo Anelli.
“The virus – it says in a note – continues to spread at a worrying speed in Puglia. Councilor Lopalco immediately asks the government to turn Puglia into a red region ”.
Anelli highlights some data: «In the last week (November 9-15) 8,737 new cases were registered, with an average daily increase of 1,248, compared to 7,075 new cases and a daily average of 1,011 in the previous week.

Patients in home isolation are also growing: they went from 93,346 to 140,093 (+46,747). The restrictions adopted cannot stop the spread of the virus. With these growth rates we run the risk of collapsing the system. It is urgent to immediately adopt more restrictive measures ”, concludes Anelli.
Even the epidemiologist Pierluigi Lopalco, appointed councilor for Health of the Puglia Region, analyzed the values of the Rt index of the Regions, the index that measures the level of contagion of Covid-19. asked everyone to be cautious.
“DECARO: ONLY THE REGION KNOWS THE DATA” – «I don’t know the data, but what I want to remind everyone is that these data, then inserted into an algorithm, are fed every day by the regions. The Region, therefore, knows that if the situation worsens, the mayors and the citizens do not know it. Thus, the president of Anci and mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro, responded, speaking to Skytg24, to the question about the appeal of the president of the Order of Doctors of Bari and of the National Federation of Medical Orders, Filippo Anelli to do Puglia. Red zone.
“We ask the Government from the first day of entry into force of the Dpcm, and we did it even earlier in the control room,” Decaro continued, “to make these data transparent, so that citizens can see the 21 parameters of the index. of risk and the numeretto, Rt, which is the contagion index, so we all know the numeretti that lead us to these restrictions.
“For many people it is as if the virus is not present. But it also affects young people and when you least expect it, it comes and takes you to the hospital, even to intensive care and you can lose your life ”. This was stated by the president of Anci and mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro, when explaining to Skytg24 the reason why in recent days he visited the intensive care unit of the Bari Polyclinic. “I was in that intensive care unit so as not to sensationalize -explained Decaro-, but to show my fellow citizens that the virus is there, where that day there were 35 intubated people, who did not respond to external stresses, some were sedated, there was also a 27 year old boy. In a swab campaign much larger than the first phase, there are many people who test positive and, fortunately, are asymptomatic. For many citizens, seeing the virus in the body of people who do not have symptoms puts aside the idea of the danger of the virus. I wanted to visit that intensive therapy – concluded the mayor – to show my fellow citizens that the virus exists and does a lot of damage, it causes people to lose their lives ”.
