Contagions still high, Cotugno with subintensive therapies without more beds and Cardarelli who blocked hospitalizations in emergency medicine. The difficult picture that the manager of Cotugno, Maurizio Di Mauro, summarizes as follows: “Anyone who thinks that the danger has escaped is off the road. It is true that the pressure has dropped compared to the number of accesses to the emergency room, but the lanes that host serious patients “. The general director of the infectious disease center does a bit of calculations before revealing that “at the moment the problem is not the three intensive therapies where about fifteen of the 28 beds available to them are occupied, but the subintensive therapies that instead register a full house . I am referring to patients in assisted ventilation, to those on high oxygen flow treatment and to those with CPap helmet. The diagnosis is of interstitial pneumonia, with a score (score quantified by Tac, ed) that is attested in most cases on values that start from 12 and go up to 20, the limit number of the criticality peak “.
The bulletin of the Crisis Unit confirms that Covid-19 is still well established in Campania: out of 11,073 swabs there are 919 positives of which 891 asymptomatic and 7 with symptoms, while there are 38 deaths of which 15 in the last 48 hours. The report of the beds: 103 out of 656 employed in intensive care and 1,480 out of 3,160 in ordinary hospitalization.
A few hundred meters from Cotugno the Cardarelli drama, which has now become, as reported three days ago in Repubblica by the company Anaao, a Covid hospital. The Sars-Cov-2 departments are all complete here too, reveals a specialist: “And now the intensive care units are filling up too, which, at the state, have a 50 percent occupation”. But what worries the white coats the most is the contagion that is spreading like wildfire. So much so that, again yesterday, the emergency medicine on the fifth floor was closed and blocked the admissions. The reason? The number of registered positives: 15 between patients and operators. The doctor again: “They have transferred the patients, but microfocolai are now scattered in the various pavilions. And at this rate the risk of contagion among patients becomes really high. But this time the responsibility also lies with the institutions that on the one hand express stringent rules and , immediately after, they reopen without controls. The scenes of the last weekend speak for themselves. We doctors are now vaccinated, and we no longer represent the vectors of the infection, but those who come from outside are highly infectious “.
Di Mauro returns to the attack, expressing concern for the “possible further spread of infections due to the reopening of schools. Already in these days the presence of more school outbreaks is being revealed. And, by reading the data, I invite the population not to lower the guard, because there are serious risks if the containment measures are not respected. The mask must always be used both outdoors in crowded streets and in closed rooms. And so the distance must also be respected “.
Meanwhile, on the prevention rules, the note from the President of the Region also arrives: “Keep your masks well when you go to sleep, we have been in the yellow zone for weeks but it is not a gift, if we are crazy in a week we will close everything. to young people, those who take off their masks are not a phenomenon but a phenomenal fool “.
And then, again: “This weekend’s gatherings are irresponsible, it’s not like we go to the bars in the evening and do what we want, I’ve seen hundreds of people without masks, but are we kidding? We solve the problem when we finish the vaccination. “.
