There are firsts that nobody would ever want to achieve. Like what sees Italy currently in first place in the world for coronavirus mortality per 100 thousand inhabitants. This is confirmed by the data reported by The Republic e detected by Johns Hopkins University, which is engaged in continuous monitoring of the progress of the pandemic.
With 111.23 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants, our country is therefore in first place in the ranking of the 20 countries most affected by Covid-19, followed by Spain (104.39), the United Kingdom (99.49) and the United States (94.97).
With a percentage of 3.5%, Italy, on the other hand, is in third place in the ranking that considers the relationship between confirmed cases and deaths, immediately after Mexico (9%) and Iran (4.7%) but before the United Kingdom (3.4%).
Generally, the 67,894 recorded deaths make Italy the fifth most affected country in the world by Covid-19, after the United States (311,529 deaths), Brazil (184,827), India (144,789) and Mexico (116,487).
The light at the end of the tunnel is called the anti-Covid vaccine and very soon it will also become a reality in Italy. The first doses of the drug developed by Pfizer / BionTech will arrive in our country next week, to ensure that we can start with the administration as early as December 27th, in that Vaccine-Day which will see the initiation of the immunization process simultaneously in several European countries.
“In Italy 10 thousand health workers, doctors and nurses, have spontaneously booked for the vaccination that will allow for Covid-free hospitals,” he explained in an interview on Corriere della Sera Nicola Magrini, director of the drug agency (Aifa). Following, “regular weekly deliveries of about 300 thousand doses each will begin, destined for the 222 vaccination points already indicated by the Regions to which others will be added up to the agreed 300 points. All equipped with cold rooms capable of guaranteeing the vaccine storage temperature ».
The goal, over the first three months of 2021, is immunize one and a half million Italians per month belonging to the categories indicated as priority, that is the health workers, workers and guests of the RSA. In the meantime, the anti-Covid vaccine developed by the Moderna company should also become available, which will contribute to the continuation of vaccinations, which will presumably be completed by next autumn.
