CORONAVIRUS: that’s why the INFECTIONS are INCREASING, speaks the VIROLOGA ILARIA CAPUA
The VIROLOGA CAPUA explains the reason for the INCREASE of the INFECTIONSIlaria CAPUA, virologist and director of the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute, clarifies that there are FAULTS to be attributed the INCREASE of CONTAGIONS these days. “In these weeks it is increased mobility, people have started traveling again, many activities have restarted. And, at the same time, there was also a decrease in attention: mask, spacing and hygiene are basic to reduce infections. If they fail, the numbers grow. It is inevitable. “This is the reason for the surge in positivity to COVID-19. This was reported by the virologist at The print.
It is therefore now clear to everyone, experts and non-experts, that the epidemiological situation in Italy has changed, for the worse unfortunately. If until a few weeks ago the line of new CORONAVIRUS cases was still below the threshold 1.500-2000 per day, from 4-5 days we are well over 4,000 with peaks over 5,000. In short, our country it is experiencing a new phase, of apprehension, determined by the exponential increase in infections.
According to Capua, “it is simplistic and even dangerous to point the finger at school. The school, like other areas, leads people to move, to have relationships: but it would be enough to follow the rules given to limit the risks. I would not make our students feel guilty for the wrong behavior of others “. The virologist then invites them to always keep the mask, in class as in the office.A matter of habit, then you don’t even remember you have it. In a few years it will be just a memory: this is the story of viral infections. “” I think that in this period, for example, it is not wise to have a wedding party with guests from half of Italy. Paradoxically, the gathering of a hundred inhabitants of a village would be less risky than a small group of individuals arriving from different areas. Obviously we must not give up getting marriedi: you can do one smaller ceremony and postpone the event for a couple of years, when presumably we will be back to normal. ”
