As the number of new cases of Covid-19 grows, “there is no parallel increase in hospitalizations” but “with this rate of growth in cases we still risk clogging hospitals because it can reach 2 million positives”. Thus Nino Cartabellotta, president of the Gimbe Foundation, speaking on the broadcast ‘L’Italia s’è desta’ on Radio Cusano Campus.
“All the measures implemented so far by the government – he said – are a sum of hot panels that are unable to slow down the circulation of the virus”, then explaining that more smart working is needed to help slow down circulation.
“We have an enormous amount of cases, never seen before – continues Cartabellotta – so much so that many have defined Omicron as the most contagious virus in history and the numbers we are seeing are clear in this sense. We have on a moving average about 100 thousand cases a day” .
And having 100 thousand positive people a day means that “1100 are hospitalized in the medical area and 120 in intensive care. Surely it is due to the increase in booster doses and we also hope for the lower virulence of the omicron variant”.
If the congestion of the hospitals is “slower, however the impact is there and with this growth rate we risk reaching 2 million positives and even if the hospitalization rate were 1% we would have 20 thousand people in hospital” . We must therefore try to lower the circulation of the virus. First of all, for Cartabellotta, “we need to limit social contacts, perhaps by increasing smart working”.
