Not so terrible, the new infected numbers are in line or better than yesterday (5322 new positive cases with only 17K tests), especially because today we did more than 25K tests... +12K than the average number of the past days (The total number is 210K); so I'm starting to think that maybe the problem is not a lack of test kits in Italy, as i erroneously affirmed in another post before this... the problem maybe is more the capacity of Italian laboratories to analyze them and find new positive or recovered cases (We use 2 test kits in order to declare a patient "recovered").
However, if this is a right discourse for central/northern Italy, in the south instead the number of tests continue to be under the normal average for the situation.
Tell me if is normal that the Campania region (Where there is Naples, the highest density area in Italy) with around 6 million of people did only 300 tests today and 150 of them are positive! While South Tyrol (1 million people) did normally 1500 tests each day with only 200 positive...
