Sillä, kuinka aikaisin intensiivinen testaaminen aloitetaan, näyttäisi olevan vaikutusta siihen, kuinka paljon ihmisiä kuolee. Eri maiden välillä on merkittäviä eroja.

Kaikki viivat lähtevät samasta kohtaa: se päivä, jolloin kuolleiden määrä ylitti 10. Poikkeuksena Islanti, jossa aloituspiste on 1. kuolema).

Kun verrataan Suomea muihin maihin, jossa on testattu tähän mennessä yhtä paljon asukkaita suhteessa väestömäärään, niin Suomessa on nyt 6x niin paljon kuolleita kun Norjassa oli samassa vaiheessa.

Spiegazione e riflessione sullo studio del 2015 riportato sul TG Leonardo di cui si sta parlando nelle ultime ore:
(1/12)

#COVID2019 #covid19italy #tgleonardo #coronavirus
In quello studio [1] alcuni ricercatori dell'Università del North Carolina e dell'Istituto di Virologia di Wuhan hanno dimostrato che il virus SHC014-CoV (un coronavirus che infetta i pipistrelli).... (2/12)
poteva essere ingegnerizzato in modo da poter infettare una linea cellulare umana (HeLa), attraverso la creazione di un virus chimerico formato da un tipo di proteina di superficie di SHC014 espressa sul backbone di un SARS-CoV (coronavirus) adattato al topo. (3/12)

Finora non mi sono espresso molto sulla questione #Coronavirus, ma dopo l'evoluzione dei fatti negli ultimi giorni, ho deciso di dire la mia. 1/25 #Covid19 #Covid19ch #Covid19Italia #Covid19Italy #FlattenTheCurve #Covid19Switzerland
So già che mi farò odiare da molti, perché i miei pareri sono piuttosto controversi, ma per fortuna siamo ancora in una democrazia diretta con libertà di pensiero. 2/25
Voglio iniziare esprimendo la mia più grande solidarietà a tutti quelli che stanno soffrendo, nonché ai loro amici e familiari. La situazione è gravissima, prima in Cina, poi in Italia, in Ticino, nel resto della Svizzera ma anche altrove. 3/25

THREAD 03/10 Letter to outlets owners: “[…] Only by closing all stores, bars and restaurants can we hope to defeat the virus and start again as soon as possible by limiting the damage to our businesses, as well as protecting ourselves, our employees and our families. . .
. . .We are, however, wasting too much time and this drastic measure, which is now being insistently requested by the experts, is slow in coming from the authorities. . .
. . . By not making this decision, we prolong the duration of the epidemic, more and more every day. We have a duty to put our health and our community first. We must decide to close our stores, bars and restaurants. . .

Why Italy? #COVID19
I take the liberty of sharing some personal insights (sorry, not in the best format, but I don’t write blogs...)

I am Italian (Milan), virologist, w/ experience of outbreaks, Lecturer in Global Health.
I do not know everything & sometimes I get it wrong
Why Italy? #COVID19
Why Northern Italy? #Covid19

1) Why does #COVID19 appear to be so lethal in #Italy (CFR close to 4)? Pre-existing conditions are likely to make things worse and I often read comments like "many smokers". Can data back this up? Below are peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurements of people aged 60-80 by country:
2) Source: Wave 6 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) (@SHARE_MEA). A lower PEF suggests a diminished lung functionality of the sample. Italy is not looking good. This could be driven by many characteristics:
3) When I run a regression (N=38,295) and control for age, self-reported health, gender, weight, and height, the PEFs in Italy are still much worse than in Germany (and other countries). The "Italy" magnitude is about the same as moving from "excellent" to "poor" health in DE.

#COVID19Italy Important take-home points from todays SitRep press Brief @DPCgov @MinisteroSalute

1. Italy has acknowledged that there is confusion due to "Regions vs Nation" data/test collection/analysis. @MinisteroSalute will take the lead and standardise reports
@DPCgov @MinisteroSalute 2. Reports will be available to regional & international partners, incl @WHO

3. Because all deaths of +ve patients had pre-existing medical conditions, the cause of death (virus?other?) must be investigated by @MinisteroSalute in the context of clinical picture

#COVID19Italy
@DPCgov @MinisteroSalute @WHO For this last point, no details were given as to how the investigations will be conducted, what tests/analysis will be performed.

Stress has been put on collecting and sharing not just #SarsCoV2 test results, but also the bigger clinical picture of the patients

Q from audience about data: DrBorrelli states @DPCgov has been reporting the data as generated by the Regions. Now reporting also the confirmatory data from national labs @MinisteroSalute, which have confirmed 383 cases out of 383 tests performed
@DPCgov @MinisteroSalute DrBorrelli @DPCgov stresses that the regional labs are correctly performing what's needed to determine presence of #SarsCoV2 in patients.

The data @WHO need is that of the confirmed cases by @MinisteroSalute not the data from the Regions
@DPCgov @MinisteroSalute @WHO Q from audience about capacity in Lodi: DrBorrelli confirms in city of Lodi last night >100 people were waiting to be seen by healthcare workers. @RegioneLombdardi (of which Lodi is part) was aware, so strengthen A&E. This morning the situation was under control

821 patients (plus 46 recovered)

21 deaths
Today 3 deaths: 2 >80 years old, 1 >77 yo.

However, DrBorrelli cannot say if the cause of death is #SarsCoV2 #COVID19 @MinisteroSalute will investigate and establish/confirm CoD (no details as to how)
@MinisteroSalute DrBorrelli @DPCgov highlights that 412 positives are asymptomatic or with very mild symptoms so that do not require hospital care, and are self-isolating at home.

#COVID19Italy #COVID19 @MinisteroSalute
@MinisteroSalute @DPCgov DrBorrelli @DPCgov: 345 patients in hospital with symptoms and 64(+8 since yesterday) are in intensive care. There are no reports form any regions of reaching critical levels of capacity.

#COVID19 Special advisor @MinisteroSalute @WRicciardi words add complexity to the situation in Italy:

only the samples that have been re-tested centrally by national lab can be considered positives: 190

#COVID19Italy from newspaper @Corriere
corriere.it/cronache/20_fe…
@MinisteroSalute @WRicciardi @Corriere @WRicciardi : today in the world there are tests that are not perfect form the sensitive point of view because they have been put together quickly and need improving. So, there's a big chance to overestimate the number of positive cases

#COVID19
Note: In Italian, my translation
@MinisteroSalute @WRicciardi @Corriere @WRicciardi : those who told health care professionals to take samples from asymptomatic people were wrong. Veneto's strategy is not correct because goes against scientific evidence. @WHO guidelines were not applied.

Today's SitRep highlights the complexity of Italy as a state and the consequences for outbreak response & communications outside Italy.

Italy isn't a federal state, but Regions (ie Lombardia, Veneto,etc) have vast powers: health care is handled at Regional level
Regions collect samples, test, quarantine, delineate Red Zones, lock downs, school closures, etc.

The national body for health care is the @MinisteroSalute that is based in Rome: it is now re-testing all positive samples and sharing data with @WHO
@MinisteroSalute @WHO The "Dipartimento di Protezione civile" @DPCgov is yet another agency, one that responds to national threats (think earthquakes, flooding). They are a fantastic high-readiness force that works alongside armed forces, regional and national government.

Le iene parlano di CoVid-19 e lo fanno col solito stile, pensare che milioni di italiani si informano seguendo programmi così è davvero deprimente...
Ci sono centinaia di video da Wuhan molti fatti da expat che ci lavorano, ma le iene chi seguono? il classico soggetto che ha girato solo video allarmistici e complottari...
Non spiegare che la situazione è così perché in Cina, come in Italia, non ci sono sufficienti letti da terapia intensiva per un numero cosi elevato di crisi respiratorie è vergognoso. I cinesi stanno a casa per evitare il più possibile di far collassare il sistema sanitario.
