BARI – A few more hours and we will know if Puglia will enter Red zone, returning to the blockage of recent months.
In fact, the update of the data that the Ministry and the Higher Institute of Health will publish on Friday afternoon is expected, redesigning the color map of Italy. Vice Minister Sileri, in recent hours, has made no secret of the fact that some yellow regions will turn orange and some orange regions will turn red and Puglia is among the special observers.
The numbers delivered by the newsletter, in fact, only show a constantly increasing contagion curve. And the intensive care is complete, very complete.
To date – according to data communicated by the Region – 1,300 beds are occupied by people who have covid pneumonia and 145 are hospitalized patients in intensive care. Too many. To the point that the Councilor for Health, Pierluigi Lopalco, raised the alarm: “If we do not block the infection – he explained – and these figures double, within 20 days we will have 300 people in intensive care. It means that to handle covid patients we will have to block operating rooms“.
The problem – he said – does not lie in not having organized on time because the beds are there, the structures too, the respirators are ready. Missing? Anesthetist resuscitators. And this – he said – is an insurmountable limit. Because doctors are not trained in 3 months. Therefore, if it is necessary to increase the number of intensive care beds to 300, it will be necessary to move out of the ordinary rooms, and therefore all programmable surgical activity will have to be blocked to move personnel.
For this, is the conclusion, we must avoid that the impact is this and that a tsunami is hit, whose consequences on other pathologies will be long-term.
