“I hope that in the next 2-3 weeks an acceptable number of” Covid deaths “will be reached, which in this situation is probably below the threshold of 100 per daystill very high in number but more acceptable and also more in line with other countries. ”Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa, told time.news Salute.
“We at this moment – notes the infectious disease specialist – are still, despite yesterday’s reduction, always quite high in the number of deaths. In England they have come to say that the excess mortality of this phase no longer exists compared to 2019, I hope that we too will no longer have an excess of mortality or that – explains Bassetti – by averaging the deaths of the month of March 2022 must be in line with the average of March 2019. When we reach that average then – he concludes – we will really have reached a phase of normality which is basically what vaccines give us “.
