In Italy, the curve of the Covid-19 epidemic is growing exponentially compared to the percentage of positive cases detected among all types of tampons whose increases double every 5-6 days. This is indicated by the analysis of the mathematician Giovanni Sebastiani, of the 'Mauro Picone' Institute for Calculation Applications of the National Research Council (Cnr-Iac).
"In the last 21 days there is an exponential growth with a doubling time of the increases between 6 and 7 days in the percentage of molecular test positives on the cumulative data of the 14 autonomous regions-provinces that provide molecular and antigenic positives separately," he said. said the expert to ANSA.
Also in the last 21 days, continues Sebastiani, "we observe an exponential growth with a doubling time of the increases between 5 and 6 days in the percentage of positives to both types of tests. For a more reliable estimate of the numerical value of the doubling times we must wait at least another 6 days "
