IT WILL BE ARRIVING IN A FEW DAYS, PROFESSOR BASSETTI HAS NO DOUBTS. Details and his words »ILMETEO.it

CORONAVIRUS: soon a THIRD WAVE of INFECTIONS, prof. BASSETTI launches the ALARMMatteo BASSETTI, director of the department of Infectious Diseases of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa, has launched an ALARM. Which? The one with the arrival of one THIRD WAVE of infections. “If there were a third wave in Italy, it is very likely that happen within this week
and end of march“.”It’s the same periodsays Bassetti, where we had the first big wave reaching its peak in March“. Hence the only possible warning: great caution and attention, because “hospitals must strengthen banks“.

In fact, no one expected hospitalizations and infections to decline so slowly. Not even Bassetti admitting: “In fact, we are seeing in some regions resumption of infections“. Therefore, the Italian epidemiological situation remains stable and the positivity rate is slowly decreasing. But all good news has bad news: “The calculated circulation of the English variant, which stops at around 20 percent, is worrying“. Still: “This requires further acceleration of the vaccines to reduce viral circulation.“Almost one in five positive cases in Italy (17.8 percent of infections Covid-19) is in fact due to the English variant.

The situation in Italy also mirrors that of other nations, such as Germany, where Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was concerned. Except then let yourself be carried away by a mea culpa: “We have not blocked public life
early enough or consistently enough, while there were signs of a second wave and warnings from various scientists, the German Chancellor continued. We must be very careful not to return to that spiral of exponential growth, the mutations of the coronavirus already present in Germany could destroy the successes achieved after the blockades.“.
