“In the last 15 days we have faced very high infections in El Murciélago and in the province of Foggia, which made us fear a lot. Now they have stabilized, but I do not rule out applying restrictions to these territories ”.
Ergo, Michele Emiliano does not rule out the application of restrictive measures in the provinces of Foggia and Bat. It makes things clear and warns 1 million inhabitants (613 thousand in Capitanata and 392 thousand in Barletta-Andria-Trani), a quarter of the population of the Puglia region, that if the situation worsens, they will be forced to intervene .
But the accounts, to be honest, don’t add up. Or not all return. Emiliano must not forget that in the province of Bari, which represents more than another quarter of the population of Apulia, the number of infections and deaths has increased considerably for a few days; and in line with the provinces of Foggia and Bat for two weeks.
We are sure that Emiliano will not escape the fact that in the Bari area the situation is as delicate as that of the two provinces for which on November 18 the president had requested the establishment of the red zone ”.in light of the technical reports prepared by the structure for the coordination and monitoring of the epidemiological emergency, and by the general directorates of the ASL of Foggia and Bat, under pressure, with a foreseeable overload of the system in the coming weeks ”. Request rejected by Minister Speranza.
Sixteen days later, that progressive and unstoppable increase seems to have stopped. Infections “now they have stabilized“Emiliano points out, who does not also exclude any restriction.
There is a thought. If it is true that from November 18 to December 4 the province most affected is Foggia, the data for the province of the regional capital should not be underestimated. So much so that in the last sixteen days in the Bari area there have been 9,240 infections and 190 deaths (2% of the positives). The percentage of positives with respect to the population is 0.73%.
In Capitanata, on the other hand, the new positives were 5071, the dead 207 (4% of the positives). Of 0.82%, the percentage of positives compared to a population of 613 thousand inhabitants.
The situation in Bat is almost identical to the nearby province of Bari: from November 18 to December 4, 2,847 infections and 62 deaths were registered (2.1% of those positive). The percentage of positives with respect to the population is 0.72%, 0.1% less than the most populated in Bari.
In the last five days, however, Bari has registered the highest number of infections: 3,432, equivalent to 0.27%. Eighty-two dead, that is 2.38%. On the other hand, there are 1,329 new positives and 67 deaths in the province of Foggia, 0.21% and 5% respectively. Also from November 30 to December 4, in the Murcielago the new infected are 811 and 14 victims, respectively 0.20% and 0.72%.
In light of these figures, it is clear that in the event of new restrictive measures, the governor of Puglia will also have to include Bari, whether he wants to or not, if it were not also to avoid taking other risks.
However, net of the evaluations of each one of us and of the decisions that will be made in the future, one wonders why, with the same or almost equal percentages of contagion, the ASL addresses of Foggia and Bat, to Unlike the one in Bari, sixteen days ago they were “heavily under pressure” and at risk of “overload”.
And again, why the governor does not take into account the epidemiological situation in the province of Bari, where, according to data from recent days, the highest number of infections is registered among the provinces of Apulia.
On the other hand, the main problem no longer seems to be of a sanitary nature, whose system, as Emiliano himself stated yesterday, has instead “managed thanks to the programming carried out in the hospital network, which allowed us to expand the number of beds as we needed them, multiplying the intensive care units dedicated to covid patients, the Medical area and the so-called post-acute beds ”.
Otherwise, in the event of new restrictive measures that should also be extended to the Bari area, Emiliano would admit a failure in managing the Covid-19 health emergency in these provinces.
Today in Puglia yellow, but still in “high risk” and for this reason under special surveillance – in whose new color the governor of the Puglia Region has specified that “It is not a discretionary decision, but rather the application of the 21 criteria developed by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità227 people are hospitalized in intensive care (0.4% more than the day before). On the other hand, people hospitalized in non-critical areas are decreasing: there are 1,596 (-1.57%).
In conclusion, “No one is allowed to enjoy crazy joy“Word of Emiliano.
Now it depends on us, on our sense of responsibility. Institutions are advised not to create confusion, but to accompany citizens on the road to Christmas. “different but no less authentic. “
