Is the coronavirus less aggressive? Is the epidemic in remission? Yes, that would be the current situation of SARS-CoV-2 according to an army of Italian medical experts who have now released their theories in a document published in the transalpine newspaper Il giornale .

Anyone who falls ill with Covid-19 today would have a very low risk of suffering the serious consequences of the disease because the virus is less contagious than ever . It is the conclusion that they sign a cross-sectional list of doctors, made up of virologists, anesthetists and epidemiologists who have confronted scientists who believe the opposite, who are convinced that the virus still has, unfortunately, things to say, that no mutation has occurred or weakened . If the virus has reduced its aggressiveness, it is the result of the distancing measures adopted during confinement.

The Italian government's scientific committee, which is responsible for making the decisions that advance the de-escalation, has not lost the opportunity to send a clear message: "The virus is still alive and is no less aggressive . " Yes it is true that it circulates less, but it is ready to attack. Just look at what is happening in a slaughterhouse in Germany, where more than 1,500 people have been infected. Or in Portugal, where it has been necessary to reverse the de-escalation in some regions, which have once again been confined. Also in Brazil or India the epidemic continues to expand. In Spain there is an active focus in Aragon. And in Italy, small outbreaks are a warning that the virus is latent.

The document signed by the 10 scientists highlights "the fall of the sick with symptoms and hospitalizations", while the "weakly positive cases increase exponentially" and, therefore, would no longer be contagious. It is possible that the new patients did not need to be isolated. "The resort to hospitalization is a rare phenomenon. Virological evidence has shown an increase in cases with a very low viral load . "

How will these contradictions affect the evolution of the virus? They are surely confusing public opinion, which seems to have lost sight of the key messages, inspired by prudence and by following the rules.
