Puglia: Lopalco, another wave of Covid starts

(ANSA) - BARI, AUGUST 13 - "I think that the cases recorded between July and August" in Puglia "represent the trigger of a second wave. The same trigger that we simply did not detect in February and which then caused the great wave ".
   The epidemiologist Pierluigi Lopalco, head of the Apulian regional task force for the Coronavirus emergency, writes on Facebook.
   According to Lopalco, however, "today's waves are those of a bitter wave. If we are good at containing them, they will probably not develop the tsunami".
    "What is happening in the current pandemic phase?", Lopalco writes showing a graph of the trend of the contagion curve where we see the peak between March and April. "The figure - he explains using the metaphor of the tsunami and storm surges - shows the trend of the reported cases in Puglia. The tsunami is evident on the left side of the graph. Thank goodness in our region the violence was moderate and we had the time to prepare for contain it. But what can we expect in the coming weeks? ". "The increase in recent cases on the right side of the graph - continues the epidemiologist - clearly has a completely different trend from that recorded at the end of February. Has the virus changed? The summer has changed? I don't think so. I think the cases recorded between July and August represent the triggering of a second wave. The same trigger that we simply did not detect in February and which then caused the great wave ".
    "The cases we record today - concludes Lopalco - are younger and of a much lighter average severity than the February cases. They are therefore those cases that at that time were not intercepted by the surveillance system at all". (HANDLE).
