233 dead and 22,000 positives. ICU admissions, a little hope from the data trend – Libero Quotidiano

The data of bulletin on Monday 2 November released by the Ministry of Health can be misleading, because it accounts for a very important decrease in the number of infections. Like every Monday: the swabs made collapse. But the epidemiological situation has not changed one iota compared to yesterday, even if in recent days it has been rather constant in terms of new ICU admissions and deaths, a possible sign of the fact that the restrictions adopted 15 days ago they are helping to avoid an exponential progression of the two indicators that have a greater weight in view of the next measures to be adopted (in two days, Wednesday 3 November, the new dpcm). So, off to the figures: i new cases registered are 22.253 (24 hours ago there were 29,907) out of 135,731 swabs analyzed: 50 thousand less than the coward, while the positivity rate rose slightly to 16.4 percent.

Small retouch upwards also for the number of dead: 233 more than yesterday, when there were 208 (this is the number of digits, day by day, since October 27: 221, 205, 217, 199, 297, 208). The currently positive ones are now close to breaking through 400 thousand, but obviously only the hospital data are worrying: in the last 24 they were recorded 938 hospitalizations with symptoms (19,840 in total, since 27 October 958, 1,026, 983, 1,030, 972, 936) and 83 in intensive care (which return above 2 thousand, 2,022, from 27 October 127, 125, 115, 95, 97, 96). As for the regions, not even one is below the triple number of contagion, which is not at all encouraging since 8 thousand fewer cases were found than yesterday: Lombardy always leads with 5,278 new positives, followed by Campania (2,861), Tuscany (2,009), Piedmont (2,003) and Lazio (1,859).
