While it finally turns out, a tiny flash of light in the darkness, it hardly bestead and corona-hit Italy, because the numbers of infected and dead now three days in a row has gone slightly down, turned the scholars on what is the reason that just Italy and particularly the region of Lombardy is Europe’s epicenter for the dreaded virus.
Some of the støvlelandets foremost virologer and experts in the field is quite simple do not agree on what or what reasons there may be to that tragedy strikes so hard in the Lombardy region.
A bundærligt answer from Guido Silvestri, which is a widely recognized Italian scientist, who is a leader of the teaching at the Faculty of Microbiology and Immunology at Emory University in Atlanta in the UNITED states, cuts it out in cardboard:
“My analysis provides more questions than answers. We are currently not, why covid-19’s mortality is so high in the north of Italy. However, the analysis can be useful to find explanations for a situation, which is both surprising and alarming,” he writes on Facebook.
another expert in the field, virologist Ilaria Capua, who teaches at the university in the particularly hard hit city of Bergamo, speculating that there may be a correlation between corona-dødsofrenes previous use of antibiotics.
But this theory is immediately rejected by a third expert, Massimo Galli, a professor of infectious diseases at the Statsuniversitetet in Milan.
“We do not notice any impact on the patients that we have data for. The vast majority of patients have died of a viral pneumonia,” says Massimo Galli to the Corriere della Sera.
And a fourth virolog, Maria Rita Gismondo, as head of the microbiological laboratory at the Sacco hospital in Milan, has been smoked into a full-blown shitstorm and have even received a professional reprimand.
It has happened after that, she came by last week with this public statement:
“There’s something weird. In Lombardy, there is a aggression that can’t be explained. All hypotheses can be valid. And one is that the virus may have mutated.”
But professor Gismondo was strongly opposed by the PTS, which is the association of doctors and scientists who are working to crack the corona code.
the Former virolog, Guido Silvestri, acknowledges on the one hand, that he does not know what is behind the northern tragedy, but on the other hand, is missing he is certainly not tender on the background.
Actually lists he no fewer than nine possible reasons why the number of smittetilfælde and deaths for covid-19 is over so much of the track. And five of the nine have according to him had special meaning:
For the first there were too many people as of late was diagnosed with corona virus, and therefore the infection spread wide out, before you really got started on trying to contain and stop every year.
And in a direct extension of it, it was scary fast critical lack of capacity in hospitals.
the Professor also points to Italy’s distinctive many senior citizens. Italy has Europe’s oldest population and is globally second only to Japan.
the Italians ‘ way of living, with the close game both socially and physically between people is also among the main causes, think Silvestri.
He cites as examples of the physical part grandparents frequent the care of grandchildren and kiss on the cheek and warm embraces on the cross.
And then there’s the Italian way of living and stay close together with several generations under the same roof.
Melinda Mills, professor of demography at Oxford University, has made a study of family patterns in Italy. The outcome of the investigation substantiates just the latter point:
“In Italy, more than 25 percent of the citizens who are over 65 years old, still one of his children living in the household. For the comparison applies to only five percent in Denmark,” has Melinda Mills previously explained to tv2.dk.
While the scholars contend verbally in the Italian media, and the very same doctors at the same time – donning the mask, visor, gloves and protective clothing – are fighting with everything they have to win corona-the fight, keeps the italians are highly concerned about the weather.
although the latest figures give hope and cautious optimism, see Italy into a terrifying reality, where the country within the past day now has reached over 11.500 died as a result of the covid-19.
of Which have the Lombardy region alone, over 6,000.
