Coronavirus Lombardia, the peak of 8000 infections to be avoided by March 22nd
Behind the choices of politics there are numbers to think about. The latest Thursday updates give 2,251 swab positive cases for Lombardy, 1,169 hospitalized patients, 244 in intensive care, 98 died. It does not end here.
The commitment of all of us called to responsibly follow the measures useful to stop the virus race, among children who do not go to school and prohibition of overcrowding, serves to avoid the peak of infections.
***The estimate, for Lombardy only, is eight thousand new hospitalizations by March 22, 1,250 of which are serious and 400 in intensive care.*** These are forecasts drawn up on mathematical models by the experts of the Crisis Unit which are likely to come true if containment measures fail. They are not data that should alarm us, but they are important to guide us in our daily choices: everyone must limit contagion opportunities as much as possible and who is elderly (or frail) must remain at home
