“The data that alarm Italians every evening are wrong data, or rather, collected with methods of other times”. The president of Liguria and Italy in the Center, Giovanni Toti, writes on Facebook, rejecting the method by which covid infections are calculated in Italy.
“On Covid I witness a surreal summer debate, based on incorrect data. And any reasoning made on incorrect data, can only lead to incorrect conclusions. As if someone, already tired of being under an umbrella, hoped to go back to the time Masks also on the shoreline. Does Covid circulate a lot among us? Certainly yes. Does this affect hospital admissions in proportion? No! The data that alarm Italians every evening are wrong dataor rather, collected with methods of other times “, says Toti.
“I explain: since Covid circulates, it is obvious that even those hospitalized are present but, for every 10 hospitalized with the virus, only 3 go to the emergency room for the symptoms of the virus. The other 7, which our statistics record as Covid patients, they are people who go to hospital for anything else: home or car accidents, heart problems, other infections, general surgery problems. Nothing to do with virus pneumonia. subjected to swabs, they then discover that they are positive and become Covid patients, “he says.
“You understand that – continues Tot- this way of collecting data falsifies all reasoning, both on the danger of the disease and on the hospital organization. Since the rules still in force force us to open Covid departments according to the number of hospitalized, we will soon be forced to reopen these departments in which, however, we can hospitalize patients who need completely different care. A sort of ‘Covid ghetto’ for citizens with Covid, but actually hospitalized for something else “.
The president then wonders if “it seems normal to you that there is discussion about outdoor masks and not about the fact that the data used and disseminated on the pandemic are totally inconsistent with the situation? The government changes these absurd rules. As for the Liguria Region – informs Toti- tomorrow I will reunite our health and I will ask to transmit at least the double data: those of hospitalized according to the rules of the Government and those who are really in hospital for Covid. So at least we will understand each other, waiting for someone to strike a shot in Rome “.
