am 32,616 new cases of coronavirus in Italy yesterday Sunday, November 8, compared to 191,144 swabs, 2,749 patients admitted to intensive care, an increase of 115 units. 331 more deaths, bringing the total number of Covid victims to 41,394 since the start of the pandemic.
Sexplosive deployment, “widely” out of control, as also stated Massimo Galli, infectious disease specialist at the Sacco-State University hospital in Milan. Between mathematical models never followed and approaches considered too soft, which have let the virus run in recent months without a preventive plan or real emergency management, which would have allowed hospitals to withstand the shock wave and prepare them. .
Immediate lockdown approaching?
L ‘Order of Doctors, through the words of its president Filippo Anelli, asks the Government “Immediate blocking” all over Italy. Because the objective is only one: to prevent the health system from collapsing under the weight of hospitalizations caused by Covid.
Despite the fact that Anelli himself had welcomed the measures included in the Dpcm November 3, pointing out that they were “adequate measures, which go in the right direction, the mediation between the need not to break the productive fabric of the country and to take more drastic measures ”, the national president of the Medical Association now calls for more restrictive measures.
Data related to hospital admissions and intensive care units are of great concern. The exponential growth in infections has led to Covid beds filling up fairly quickly, flooding the entire hospital structure. The risk is that hospitals will no longer be able to accept new patients, Covid or otherwise.
“The measures adopted must be applied with great care and efficiency if we want to hope to reverse a trend in a reasonable time and not find ourselves in an even more complex situation in the very short term,” said Galli, who says he is willing to accept again in this stage of evaluating localized closures and not a generalized closure. “It may still be reasonable to consider some regional differences, but with great care not to run the risk of frustrating the positions taken and not having results,” he explains.
Total lock or not, there are several Regions that could change their color starting today, November 9 (here is the QuiFinanza mini-guide on what can and cannot be done in the three red, orange and yellow areas).
Deciding when a region changes color
For the moment, the only certain data is that the monitoring is constant, and the passage from one zone to another is activated when certain parameters are reached (here you will find the 21 indicators used for the subdivision).
The new Dpcm of November 3 establishes that the Regional monitoring of any change in risk assessment is done every 14 days. This means that, for example, if the trend of infections is reversed, Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Calabria could go from the red zone to the orange one. Obviously, the opposite happens: whoever is in a yellow zone can enter an orange or red zone in case of criticality.
This will be decided by order of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, after having listened to the president of the only Region. The prime minister specified that the ordinances will not be arbitrary, but will be based on periodic monitoring.
Regions at risk
As we have already anticipated, first of all Liguria. Governor Giovanni Toti said that he is not opposed to the Government “asking us for a little more effort for the good of all”, because the pressure on hospitals, especially in the metropolitan area of Genoa “is very strong, because the number of infections is very high “.
Situation that could lead the Region, currently in the yellow zone, to turn orange, with the introduction, as we know, of new restrictive measures, the same currently provided for the only two in the orange zone, namely, Puglia and Sicily. .
Among the other Regions that could very soon turn orange, there are also Campania, Veneto, Umbria, Tuscany and the autonomous province of Bolzano, to date all yellow.
