“We have a gradual increase in numbers, but above all we also have young people who are entering intensive care”, Miozzo observes to Corriere. Let us remember that this is a cursed disease. When it hits it can hurt. The perception of danger is not passing, I am concerned about the sense of omnipotence of young people. If this continues, new bans will be inevitable. The trend of the epidemic curve tells us that Italy is on the move and the virus is traveling. If we miss new outbreaks, we will have serious trouble. We cannot afford it. “Furthermore,” among the newly infected there is a high number of people who discover that they have danced too much and that they have taken holidays in full disregard for the minimum rules that we obsessively continue to recommend because they are the only true ones. protective therapies. We need to intervene on this by “limiting” the gatherings. Within the CTS we have always warned that the reopened discos would be a danger. We continue to send messages of education, we ask to prepare for a new possible emergency, to limit the damage “.

As the Corriere always reports, according to Massimo Antonelli, head of the Emergency-Urgency department of the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome and member of the CTS: “The latest bulletin in Italy gives 55 patients assisted with mechanical ventilation. During the key months of the epidemic, those hospitalized in intensive care were mainly between 60 and 80 years old, today the age range is definitely lowering. The new hospitalized in intensive care are mainly between 40 and 60 years old ”. The new positives – as evidenced by the Higher Institute of Health – are often less than 40 years old. And among those who are ill and are hospitalized even without ending up in intensive care, “the average age is now around 50 years”, added the councilor for health of Lombardy Giulio Gallera.
