Covid-19, Ippolito: “We must expect a further increase in deaths”

The increase in cases recorded in the last week to ten days is certainly worrying. Compared to the months of March and April, today we have a clearer picture, given that the number of tampons performed now is five times higher, so we are able to intercept many asymptomatic people who previously escaped us“. So comments on the increase in cases of contagion from Covid-19, during an interview with Future, professor Giuseppe Ippolito. According to the scientific director of the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome, the figure that currently remains stable is that of hospitalizations in intensive care and those in distribution which amount respectively to 0,5% and al 4,5% compared to the total of positives. Regarding the deaths, the expert explained: “The number of victims follows these curves with a few weeks of delay, therefore, unfortunately, a further increase in deaths is to be expected“.

When asked what could be the causes and the mistakes made that could have influenced the soaring of the curve, Ippolito explains that those who made a mistake during theestate, with the decline in infections, the virus was dead and the emergency ended.

Regarding the measures to slow down the spread of the infection, such as the limitations to nightlife, the professor explains: “No type of provision, not even the most drastic, is needed if it is not accompanied by the individual and collective responsibility of each of us“. According to Ippolito, even an aperitif can be taken safely, as well as going to the gym: “If a bar does not guarantee distancing we go somewhere else, if in the gym the health protocols are not respected we take a run to the park“.
