As you surely know, Italy is suffering a dramatic spreading of the coronavirus.
In just 3 weeks from the beginning of the outbreak, the virus has reached more than 10.000 infected people.
From our data, about 10% of patients require ICU (Intensive Care Unit) or sub ICU assistance and about 5% of patients die.
We are now in the tragic situation that the most efficient health system of the richest area of the country (Lombardy) is almost at its full capacity and will soon be difficult to assist more people with Covid-19.
This is the reason why an almost complete lockdown of the country has been ordered: to slow down and hopefully stop the contagion as soon as possible.
The virus is spreading at maximum speed, doubling the number of infected people in just 2,4 days[1].
