ROME — The head of Italy’s national institutes of health says the country has hit the “plateau” in its coronavirus infection rate, three weeks into a national lockdown.
Dr. Silvio Brusaferro says the country should start to see a decline in new cases in the epicenter of Europe’s pandemic. But he stressed it would be folly to relax Italy’s productivity shutdown and stay-at-home restrictions now, even though the rate of new virus infections is slowing.
“The curve suggests we are at the plateau,” he said. “We have to confirm it, because arriving at the plateau doesn’t mean we have conquered the peak and we’re done. It means now we should start to see the decline if we continue to place maximum attention on what we do every day.”
Fingers crossed for you, Italy…
sii forte
Italy’s slope is less steep compared to US…
Good for Italy after all the tragic death toll (11,591 as of these comment).

Hope the slight decline (seen once before) is real.
Those poor bastards are getting hammered.
Meanwhile, the US just passed China with number of deaths.
Waiting for Trump to spin that at the next #MagaVirusClownShow
With all my heart I hope so!
I truly hope so.
