  • Live: Last minute on the coronavirus

Could we be at the peak of the third wave?

The figures published daily by the Ministry of Health could indicate that.

The cumulative incidence (AI)

rises only six points in 24 hours and stands at 899.93

, undoubtedly the smallest increase in 24 hours in this third wave.

In addition, the cumulative incidence at seven days breaks that daily upward trend and falls (from 420.80 the day before to 414.83 this Wednesday).

The situation continues to be quite worrying in six autonomous communities that exceed 1,200 points of incidence.

The Valencian Community continues to grow

and already has an AI of 1,459.82

.

They are followed by Castilla y León (1,397.30, up slightly), Murcia (1,347.35, down about 35 points), La Rioja (1,303.35), Extremadura (1,283.78, still falling very slowly) and Castilla-La Mancha (1,269.34).

Another seven autonomies are above 600: Madrid (988.54, touching 1,000 and going up), Melilla (985.12, up 9 points), Andalusia (919.12), Aragon (772.76, up slightly), Galicia (742.77, up 15 points) and the Balearic Islands (649.35 down 14 points).

Catalonia falls below 600 (589.70, after dropping 24 points), but Asturias is rising and is already at 538.33.

As for the number of daily infections, the figure is again higher than the previous day, but lower than at the end of the previous week, when pandemic records were recorded.

This Tuesday stands at 40,285 new cases in 24 hours

, 18,462 diagnosed the day before (5,100 in Madrid, 2,484 in Castilla y León, 2,091 in Catalonia and 1,823 in the Valencian Community), which makes a total of 2,670,102 cases since the start of the pandemic.

In the number of deaths, the increase in parameters such as infections and those hospitalized in the ICU has already begun to be noticed,

since this Wednesday we registered a figure close to 500 deaths

(492).

We may have become accustomed to hearing the figures as if there were no names and surnames behind them, but registering 500 deaths a day at this point is as if more than two commercial planes crashed every day, let's not forget that.

Registered in the last seven days are 1,685, which makes a total of 57,291 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

Unsustainable hospital occupation

The care burden is unsustainable any longer.

If the infections begin to stabilize and descend, it will still take us to see the reflection

in hospitals that are full to the brim

, while beds are set up in any corner.

The percentage of beds occupied by patients with coronavirus in Spain has not grown for the first time this January, it remains from 24.10% the day before to 24.03% this Wednesday (a figure in any case that exceeds with much the maximum risk threshold, 15%).

The percentage of intensive care beds, on the other hand, continues to grow,

although just one percentage point, from 41.27% the day before to 41.90% this Wednesday (also well above the threshold for very high risk, which is more than 25%).

As we always emphasize from these lines, these figures are only for Covid patients, we must add those who occupy ICU beds for other pathologies or interventions and, therefore, the degree of saturation is even higher, practically 100% in some autonomies.

Thus, in terms of ICU bed occupancy, the most saturated communities are:

Valencian Community (62.97%, continues to grow), Melilla (58.82%, rises almost 6 points in 24 hours), La Rioja (55.17% )

, Castilla-La Mancha (54.53%), Extremadura (51.69%, rises almost 10 points in 24 hours), Madrid (50.29%), Castilla y León (48.26%, rises slightly more than two points), Catalonia (46.61%), Balearic Islands (45.34%), Murcia (35.08%), Andalusia (34.01%), Aragon (33.05%), Ceuta (29.41% ), The Basque Country (28.31%), Cantabria (27.05%) and Galicia (25.10%).

That is, only the Canary Islands (16.06%), Navarra (22.56%) and Asturias (24.77%) do not exceed the maximum risk threshold - which does not mean that they are well, especially Asturias, which is also increasing Your load-.

Hospitalizations and ICU admissions maintain the same line.

To date there are 30,789 patients admitted for Covid

, a figure much higher than in the second wave, although slightly lower than the previous day (30,815).

Of those 30,789, 5,239 correspond to the Valencian Community, 5,231 to Catalonia, 5,009 to Madrid, 4,441 to Andalusia and below Castilla y León (2,250) and Castilla-La Mancha (1,894).

In the last 24 hours, 2,522 patients have been admitted, a figure slightly higher than the previous days (7,730 in the last seven days).

209 patients have been referred to the ICU in the last 24 hours (611 in the last seven days), the first day that 200 patients were exceeded in the third wave (200 were not reached in the ICU in 24 hours in the second wave) .

Therefore, since the beginning of the pandemic there are already 245,750 total hospitalized patients and 21,171 total ICU cases.

United Kingdom, leader in Europe

At the European level,

the positions in the contagion ranking are maintained

.

The first country is Russia (3,756,931), followed by the United Kingdom (3,689,746) and France (3,079,943).

Fourth Spain (2,670,102) and fifth Italy (2,485,956).

In sixth place is Turkey with 2,429,605 (a country that updated its data the previous day

and added 819,615 infections in 24 hours

, reaching this same figure that has not changed today).

This is followed by Germany (2,161,275) and below two million Poland (1,482,722) and Ukraine (1,197,107).

By number of deaths, the

United Kingdom continues to occupy the first place and exceeds 100,000 deaths

(100,162).

They are followed by Italy (86,422), France (74,106), Russia (70,482) and Spain (57,291).

As for AI, it is still absolutely fired in countries such as Portugal (1,530.9 which continues to rise, almost 35 points in 24 hours), the Czech Republic (969.5 falls more than 20 points), Spain (899.9, a slight rise that leaves us touching 900 points), Ireland (741.9, down more than 70 points in 24 hours), or the United Kingdom (788.8, down 38 points and continues to decline).

Below 1,000 but in worrying figures Sweden (564), the Netherlands (432.2), France (407.9) and Switzerland (338.2).
