CORONAVIRUS: SECOND WAVE OF UNDERVALUED INFECTIONS, here are how many cases are expected in NOVEMBER, RICCIARDI speaks in VIDEO
The new cases of CORONAVIRUS, in ITALY, they exploded again. Then BOOM of the first wave, in the last 2-3 days there was incredible speed which pushed the positive data beyond expectations, with an average of 3,000 / 4,000 almost per day, with a peak more than 5,000 in the last 24 hours (HERE the last complete newsletter). And so it now seems clear, with numbers in hand, that the situation is clearly getting worse and concern growing.
“The historical fact has been underestimated that all pandemics have a second wave that is more dangerous than the first “and” compared to what awaits us, that is, enormous pressure with the arrival of the flu, it was necessary to strengthen the test system by extending it to all structures, both public and private. that they are capable of doing it, and then with emergencies that in many cases have not yet made the differentiated routes ”, he explains to SkyTG24. Walter Ricciardi, member of the WHO executive committee and adviser to the Minister of Health.
“The relaxation that has been determined in everyone since the summer, continues Ricciardi, caused a drop in guard. Now there are Regions that have been found to be more or less prepared, and my concern is that this preparation is not yet adequate, especially for when the flu arrives, and there are other regions that have been found less preparedIn other words, they did not increase the testing capacity that was presumably necessary and was absolutely necessary. “
Ricciardi specifies: “I do not want to blame the regions, I know that some presidents have resented my statements but I want to emphasize that in the face of a respiratory virus pandemic we must all work together and base decisions on scientific evidence“, adds the expert. Meanwhile, the mandatory tampons have been taken for those arriving in Italy from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Czech Republic and Spain. The list has been updated by the order signed on October 7 by the Minister of Health and published yesterday in the Official Gazette.
And in conclusion RICCIARDI refers to the image that we have before us. “What has happened since June is a doubling of cases every month. We had 200 cases, then 400, then 800, then 1600 and now we are at more than 4 thousand. So we took risks in a month, to NOVEMBER, To have more 8,000 cases per day me in two months, when the flu comes, have 16,000 cases in one dayThe”.
For Ricciardi, however, more closures should be avoided: “It is absolutely necessary to avoid the closure of the school, as well as a general closure. At this time there is no hypothesis of closure of shops or activities, we are only thinking about what are the possible activities that involve unjustified meetings that refer to non-primary activities that may be limited in some way. “
In short, it is now clear that we are in the FULL of the SECOND WAVE.
