Vo 'patient returns home. It is the third recovery in Italiashadow
The coronavirus is almost always cured. With each passing day, it becomes more important to reduce the alarm, stem the spread of unnecessary fears that fuel an unjustified mass psychosis. The coronavirus is frightening because yesterday there were new cases, both of the infected (we are at 322) and of the deaths (which rose to 11). Yet, in the vast majority of cases, it does not lead to death but to complete recovery. To say it is Walter Ricciardi, member of the Executive Committee of the World Health Organization and from Monday adviser to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, but the first cases of people affected by the virus and now completely restored have also said so. "We have to reduce this great alarm," said Walter Ricciardi during a press conference at the Civil Protection yesterday afternoon. Of course, he continued, it is "good not to underestimate" but "the disease must be put in the right terms: out of 100 sick people, 80 recover spontaneously, 15 have serious but manageable problems in the healthcare environment, and therefore recover, 5 percent are serious , but of this 5 percent, only 3 percent die. " And in any case, all the deceased people, concludes Ricciardi, "were people in serious health conditions due to their previous pathologies".
Pandemic of fear
These are the data, black on white, data that should help stem the "fear pandemic". There are at least three cases so far of complete recovery. The twenty-nine-year-old researcher hospitalized at Spallanzani in Rome, the first Italian infected, repeatedly tested negative, and declared "substantially healed" three days ago. The dermatologist at the Polyclinic of Milan, a 55-year-old professor who is always on the road for work, who has improved almost immediately after treatment, and who is now well and in resignation («I can't wait to get back on track», he joked yesterday with the doctors). The lady of Vo 'Euganeo, the small town in the province of Padua among the most affected by the number of infected, always asymptomatic during the entire period of hospitalization, discharged and brought home yesterday afternoon: she will be in her home for 14 days in "Protected home discharge", but only as a precautionary measure, because in reality it is in good health. These are the first "healed" by the coronavirus. And soon there will be others, the disease has a course of a few days in non-serious cases: the two Chinese still hospitalized at Spallanzani in Rome improve day by day, doctors report, and also improve the conditions of all the first hospitalized in Veneto and Lombardy with mild symptoms.
