A reversal of the trend compared to the toughest months of the emergency, when those over 70 were the most affected. In September, the highest number of cases in Lombardy was recorded among twentysomethings: 1,231 versus 314 patients between 70 and 79 years old or 188 in their eighties. This figure is even more evident if we take another indicator: the contagion rate among those aged 20 to 29, again in September, rose to 124 positives per 100,000 inhabitants in that segment of the population, when between forty and fifty the goal. A reality that is especially evident in Milan and its province, where in recent weeks most of those who have hired Covid are between 20 and 39 years old.
Covid, Conte and Speranza sign the Dpcm with the new measures
Possible new restrictions
Here are the numbers that led the Commission of Indicators, a working group that periodically assesses the progress of the epidemic, to raise the alert level. And formulate proposals for “interventions to contain and reduce the exponential increase in new cases and their impact on the health system.” Ideas that will be presented to the Scientific Technical Committee that will meet today to analyze the situation in these latitudes in light of the new government grip. Among the Committee’s proposals, however, in addition to “strengthening controls in nightlife areas, public parks and meeting places for extracurricular or work activities”, “preferential access routes to rapid tests in case of alerts by of the Immuni app “or targeted communication interventions, we also read the hypothesis of” closing restaurants, pubs and bars at 10 pm throughout the region “, with some members of the group even suggesting a greater tightening for cities such as” Milan , Varese and Monza, the most affected by the increase in the contagion curve “. There, to say, “the closing time of the bars” must be brought forward to 18 as in March.

Azzolina: “Distance learning? We don’t talk about it.” And Conte stops the ban on family parties
To “reduce the burden on public transport”, however, here is the passage: “Use distance education in upper secondary schools and smart work in all possible contexts.” A front, the latter, that in some way even some governors would have advanced as a last resort during the meeting with the government to discuss the decree on the new limitations for the country. The document that starts with infections and lights a beacon in young people: growth is constant even if in the last 24 hours the positive cases in Lombardy have been 696 with 13,934 swabs, with a percentage, therefore, of 4.9 percent less than the previous one. 6.6 percent – according to the director general of the Department of Social Welfare Marco Trivelli, who spread it among the experts, it does not contain “guidelines already established or decisions already taken.”
The confrontation between the government and the Regions
Translated: for now, depending on the Region, it is not certain that stricter rules will be decided at the local level than at the national level. In that meeting, which took place last Friday, politicians were actually also present – as can be read in the same internal communication – starting with the president. Attilio fontana. The governor himself, in statements to the Assolombarda industrial assembly, had already said in the morning: “We will oppose any hypothesis of a new blockade.” And a call for “balance”, so as not to create “antagonism between health and the economy”, is what the mayor of Milan asked Beppe Sala. At the end of the summit with the executive, Fontana then invoked “the economic coverage of all the activities that, penalized by the new package of limitations, would run the risk of closing forever.” And he asked for a direct line with national experts “in case it is necessary to implement restrictive measures by individual Regions.”
