"Only a third of the cases yesterday and 'symptomatic, in February instead we identified all symptomatic subjects. The numbers in intensive care, 700 hospitalized, are not even remotely comparable to the peak of 4000 cases". Circulation affects the entire European continent, "but Italy has a number of positive cases compared to the tests carried out among the lowest, the average age of the infected is lower and the country that has a level of preparation that is not even comparable ".
