Contagions are decreasing, such as the number of victims. Good results, but as confirmed by Ferdinando Coghe, director of the analysis laboratory of the Aou in Cagliari-Monserrato, if we examine the cases of death, 95% are unvaccinated and "that 5% immunized who cannot be saved. he had only received one dose or was already suffering from major illnesses ”.

In the latest bulletin issued by the Crisis Unit of the Region, there are 84 new infections, two dead: an 82-year-old resident in Southern Sardinia and an 89-year-old from the Metropolitan City of Cagliari.

The worst, however, has not passed even if the data relating to the island improve. “From the five hundred daily cases of some time ago - reiterates Coghe - we have reached 84 yesterday. Moreover, this is the natural trend of the pandemic led by the Indian Delta variant, while last summer with the much less infectious English Alpha the infections were practically zero ".

And what awaits us in autumn? "The Delta variant should counter the downward trend in the number of new infections, helped by the fact that we will be indoors and no longer in the open air, that we will use public transport a lot and that we are back to school". Vaccines remain an important tool, but by themselves they are not enough: "We must continue to avoid opportunities for infection as much as possible and this is a great collective work that can only be done if everyone takes the right precautions for themselves".

"We must be immunized immediately - underlines the director -, to protect our lives and those of others, but also because we are not at all sure of being able to avoid new closures of catering and other activities, which could not survive yet another stop . Vaccines also make it possible to have a social life and a running economy ”.
