Covid, contagions on the rise in 5 regions. Fedriga’s alarm: ‘Fvg one step away from yellow’

According to experts, the contagion curve increases very rapidly. The national diagnostic replication index (RDt) on 13 November data “is 1.42 and higher than one in all regions”. This indicates “a significant acceleration in the spread of infections which, all things being equal, could lead 5 regions to exceed the weekly incidence rate threshold of 250 cases per 100,000 in two weeks and another 8 over 150 cases per 100,000 “. These are the estimates of the MADE Working Group of the Italian Association of Epidemiology released together with a position paper that contains five recommendations for the management of the current pandemic phase.

ALARM OF FEDRIGA, ONE STEP FROM THE YELLOW AREA– “We cannot charge the price of any new closures to the vaccinated, who defended themselves and others, participating in the vaccination campaign “. The president of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, said today in Udine, commenting on the situation of the pandemic in the region.” We are one step away from the yellow zone and this is given by the number of hospitalizations also in the medical area, very close to 15%. The Fvg will go into the yellow zone, but fortunately this still requires very limited measures. However, the transition to the orange zone would be dramatic for the economy, it is something that we cannot and must not allow “.” So it is clear – added Fedriga – that the invitation I continue to do is to get vaccinated, if not yet. it is done, and to take the third dose after six months “. The governor then reiterated that” those who have followed the rules are very different from those who, on the other hand, carry fake news around, do not want to participate in the vaccination campaign, tell nonsense on the vaccine “. According to Fedriga,” scientific data now demonstrate its effectiveness, as it protects us and the hospitals that otherwise risk becoming overcrowded “.

GIMBE FOUNDATIONThe cases of Covid-19 are increasing in Italy, but in a non-homogeneous way that sees a strong concentration in Trieste, Bolzano and Gorizia. The president of the Gimbe Foundation said, Nino Cartabellotta, broadcast ‘Italy has awakened’ by Radio Cusano Campus. “The objective fact is that we are on the rise in the number of cases, it must be said however – he observed – that this circulation of the virus is not homogeneous throughout the country. In Trieste the numbers are starting to worry, then there are Bolzano and Gorizia”. Daily admissions to intensive care are also increasing, but “the hospital situation is basically very quiet,” he said. For Cartabellotta “the only region that risks seeing yellow in a very short time is Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the other regions the situation is largely under control”. The president of the Gimbe Foundation also noted that “as of November 15, 2020 we had 7 regions in the red zone, 9 in the orange zone, so today we have to say thanks to vaccines for finding ourselves in this situation. It must also be said that there has been a change of criteria for the colors of the regions: if today we had the same criteria as last year, several regions would already be in the orange zone and others in the red zone “.

The choices neither responsible nor justified of the unvaccinated they go beyond the damage due to the increase in Covid cases, but they affect the health situation as a whole“. From this point of view,” we would not want to get hospitals to start working at a narrow gauge on all the rest of the diseases. “So in Agorà, on Rai Tre, Massimo Galli, head of the infectious diseases department at the Sacco hospital in Milan and full professor at the State University. “A few days ago I had the third dose of the Covid vaccine together with the flu shot. We are in a situation – added Galli – in which we see above all an epidemic of unvaccinated people and its extent, even if it is an announced situation, begins to become worrying because of its extent “. The cases of Covid,” also not they will never be like previous years, they could end up putting hospitals in conditions of difficulty in their ability to carry out their duties. This is particularly serious for a citizen who has responsibly vaccinated himself and the community “. I have always been perplexed about the use of pads for the green pass”: I believe the management of the green pass cannot be sustained with the repetition of the pad , perhaps the role of measuring the presence or absence of antibodies should be re-evaluated. Whoever makes the vaccine should be protected, but if he does not make antibodies it is very likely that he is not “. The fact that people keep repeating that the measurement of antibodies is useless, he specified,” is a legend that sooner or later goes on debunked: I understand that a serological test cannot be done to 60 million Italians but the antibody titre test as a clinical work tool is already used today and necessary for clinical decisions “.
