August 30, 2021While the new cases of Covid are close to six thousand and since midnight today Sicily has become "yellow", the holidays that have just ended are beginning to be dealt with, which have flown away without the potential catastrophe indicated by the statistical models, which indicated the risk of 30 thousand new positives every day.

The vaccination campaign did its part and the Green Pass also shielded the virus arriving from abroad.



The numbers today are far from those of last year, which opened the hot autumn of the pandemic. But what appears clear, based on the tracking, is that 8 new positives out of 10 come from the islands, especially from Sicily and Sardinia. It is no coincidence that the Regions with the worst data in terms of population vaccination coverage and pressure on hospitals. But also from Tuscany. "Result of the conjunction: few vaccines, few controls" says the councilor for health of Lazio, Alessio D'Amato.



On the other hand, after June had registered dozens of positive Italian children blocked in Spain, Greece or Malta, the number of infections arriving from abroad was reduced. The barrier of the European Green Pass worked. In Italy, however, where only from tomorrow to get on a plane, a train or a ship it will be mandatory to have green certification, millions of people have moved without any precaution. Then there is the complaint of many family doctors, according to whom there have been many infections concealed by irresponsible people, who tested positive in the do-it-yourself tests in the pharmacy, who then refused to repeat the official swab for fear of being forced to quarantine and ruin their holidays.



Lombardy (today with a very low circulation of the virus) tries, for example, to defend itself against returns from the south by providing free swabs at the Milan and Bergamo airports for those arriving from Sicily. The comparison of the numbers is merciless: over 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Sicily compared to 35 in Lombardy, where the percentages of occupancy of hospital wards stop at 5% for ordinary hospitalizations and 3% for intensive care compared to 19. % and 12% of Sicily.



Among the virtuous regions that best held up to the summer also Piedmont and Lazio, where infections have increased in recent days but the very high numbers of vaccinations have made it possible to keep the situation under control. "We have 4 million people already immunized, we will achieve immunity in September - says D'Amato - but those who return from holidays must immediately go to vaccinate and vaccinate the children. We are in time for the reopening of schools in safety. in autumn the pandemic of the unvaccinated ".
