In two years of the pandemic, over 2 thousand died in Sardinia, as if a small town had disappeared

Two years have passed since that March 15, 2020 when Sardinia had to count its first two deaths from Covid. The pandemic was at the beginning, the weapons to fight it were few, apart from the very hard two-month lockdown imposed by the Conte government.

We said the first two victims: a 43-year-old owner of a not bar Cagliari hospitalized at the SS. Trinità after a business trip to Rimini, and a patient who suffered from other pathologies and had been hospitalized for 20 days in Cardiology at the Santissima Annunziata di Sassari.

At that time the vaccine was an illusion, deaths still few because the first wave, which hit Northern Italy in a disruptive manner, spared the Center, the South and the Islands.

Since then a lot of water has passed under the bridges, and there have been many deaths, almost an entire small town in the hinterland that has disappeared: 2,117 Sardinian victims of the virus, mostly elderly. Of the three victims today , the youngest was 60 years old.

The highest number of deaths from Covid in one day, but only based on a recalculation carried out in those hours, was recorded on 4 December 2020 (49) and, later, on 16 December of the same year with 23 deaths in 24 hours . In 2021 the daily peak came on January 8 and 13 with 15 deaths, in 2022 on February 10 with 14 deaths.
