March Prediction for ICU Situation in Italy
Predictions for March cases were made based off the number of infected in February; There may be more than 30,000 infected patients by March 15. This number is similar to the statistic for the initial phase of the outbreak in Wuhan, China, and the pattern of cases shown in Italy seems to follow a similar trend to China’s trend. The exponentially increasing cases leads to a prediction that the health capacity of the nation will be at full capacity in a few days, for the number of ICU beds available in Italy is nearly 5200. The big question is if the new cases will require ICU admittance and for how long cases will continue to increase. If the numbers do not dwindle down, there may be disastrous consequences both clinically and socially.
