“Covid, never seen so many infections since the beginning of the pandemic.  Some doctors see 50-60 cases a day “

“As family doctors we are observing an exponential increase in the Covid infection, with numbers never observed in over 2 years of the pandemic”. An “impressive case series”, which “for some colleagues with many clients means seeing even 50 cases a day”. Silvestro Scottigeneral secretary of the Fimmg, Italian Federation of General Practitionerstraces to beraking latest news Health a picture characterized by a boom of new Sars-CoV-2 positives, but “with prevalent symptoms affecting the upper respiratory tract”, therefore without an increase in terms of pneumonia.

However, especially “in this summer period – specifies Scotti – a respiratory disease such as Covid-19 could create complications also not exclusively due to the virus. It is one thing to have a cold in winter, when you tend to stay covered in the warmth, and quite another to have it in the summer, subject to continuous changes in temperature “outside-inside, thanks to” air conditioning “and” risk factors which can create accessory complications “.

“I have a number of clients below the average of an Italian family doctor, because for obvious reasons I limited my limit to a thousand patients – said the number one of the Fimmg – But only today I had 6 new positives”, against the ” 2-3 cases a day »previously recorded,« and at the moment I am following about 30 positive patients who are in the period of isolation. But they are all home isolations, without the need for hospitalization or symptoms affecting the lower respiratory tract, also by virtue of the relatively young average age of our newly infected, which also explains the low use of antivirals “.

Scotti operates in Campania, a ‘young’ region compared to the rest of the Peninsula, and “in any case we also have elderly patients with comorbidities”, he points out. «What I see – he points out – is that in this moment, inasmuch as they are aware of being fragile, they have a more defensive attitude; they are certainly those who have a higher vaccination coverage and continue the prevention actions, with the use of the mask and the tendency to avoid crowds. The elderly and people with pathology, being a little more attentive, are therefore at less risk of contagion “.
