The death rate for the unvaccinated is five times higher than for vaccinated with a full course less than 120 days and 15 times higher than for vaccinated with boosters.
This is highlighted by the new report of the Higher Institute of Health, which integrates the weekly monitoring of the epidemic in Italy drawn up by ISS and the Ministry of Health.
The report also indicates the numbers: the victims among the unvaccinated per 100 thousand inhabitants are 96, those with a full cycle of less than 120 days 19 and those with boosters 7.
The report also highlights how in the age groups 0-9 and 10-19 years there is the highest incidence rate of Covid cases at 14 days, respectively equal to 1,424 and 1437 per 100,000 inhabitants, while in the age group 70- 79 years, the lowest value is recorded, 471 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, 2,966,901 cases have been diagnosed and reported to the integrated surveillance system in the population aged 0-19, of which 15,200 hospitalized, 350 hospitalized in intensive care and 50 deaths.
As for the state of the pandemic in our country, experts point out that after the peak of the Omicron wave recorded at the beginning of the year, a new, rapid spread of Covid cases is currently underway throughout Italy.
To the point that - as revealed by the analysis of the mathematician Giovanni Sebastiani, of the Institute for the Applications of Calculation 'M. Picone', of the National Research Council (Cnr) - in two days there was a growth of at least 10% in 78 out of 107 provinces, probably driven by the new Omicron sub-variant; the entry curve in intensive care is holding back the descent and preparing to grow, and is also holding back the descent of the death curve.
"The results of the analysis of the data of the SarsCov2 epidemic updated to 11 March show a rapid spread of the infection throughout the national territory", notes the expert.
"At the national level - emphasizes Sebastiani -, the average curve of the percentage of molecular test positives rises from 9.5% about eight days ago to about 11.5%. The curve of deaths and that of daily admissions to therapy slow down the decline. intensive, and the analysis of the weekly differences indicates that this last curve should start growing as early as March 12 ".
