changed the identikit of the epidemic. Now the average age of cases diagnosed even around 40 years while in March / April, hard months, was above 60. And this also indicates the change in habits imposed by lockdown, but only for a part of the population. The elderly no longer expose themselves, frightened by the thousands of mourning events that have affected friends and relatives, sensitized and protected by children and grandchildren. Instead they turn, meet, shake hands, exchange hugs and frequent squares. To the point of meeting positives and becoming themselves.

Outbreaks
This was reported by the technicians of the Control Room (joint table of the Istituto Superiore di Sanit-Ministry of Health) through the weekly monitoring on Covid 19. The demographic lowering partly due to the characteristics of the outbreaks which see an ever lesser involvement of elderly people and partly to the identification of asymptomatic cases by screening in lower age brackets. The effect that young people, intercepted quickly, predisposed not to get sick or to develop very mild forms of infection, do not weigh on hospitals which are thus free. And in fact the risk of overloading health services in the lower short term.

Close enemy
It does not mean that Sars-CoV-2 is a distant enemy. Indeed, the many outbreaks that sting a bit all the Regions, more or less extensive, circumscribed, of almost always known origin, show it very close. The reproducibility index of the virus (number of infected for each infected individual) compared to last week slightly dropped below 1, the value which avoids the exponential growth of the epidemic curve. We are on 0.95 (from 1.01). It means little, not a big change, so much so that the situation is defined as stationary and fluid as seven days ago. The incidence of cases was also stable: 4.6 per 100 thousand inhabitants.
