Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「Bergamo, the northern Italian city that became a chilling symbol of Europe’s coronavirus pandemic in the spring, is being spared as the pandemic’s second wave spreads across the country and Europe.⠀ ⠀ The city and its surrounding province have lower infection rates than many other parts of Italy. Bergamo’s main hospital has beds to spare and is taking in patients from harder-hit cities such as Milan.⠀ ⠀ In the province of Bergamo, home to 1.1 million people, approximately 5,000 people are thought to have died from Covid-19 in March alone. Hospitals lacked enough beds to treat all those severely ill and army trucks carried coffins from inundated morgues to other parts of the country.⠀ ⠀ At Bergamo’s Papa Giovanni XXII Hospital there are around 90 Covid-19 patients, compared with around 600 at the peak of the crisis in April.⠀ ⠀ It is possible that Bergamo has just been luckier this time, and that its luck might run out. But it is also possible that the local population is benefiting from a degree of immunity because so many residents caught the virus in March and April.⠀ ⠀ “We are very far from achieving herd immunity. But in areas that experienced a high frequency of infections, there are probably enough antibodies to limit the circulation of the virus,” said Giuseppe Remuzzi, a Bergamo-based infectious-disease expert.⠀ ⠀ Read more at the link in our bio.⠀ ⠀ 📷: @francesca_volpi_photo for @wsjphotos」11月11日 0時28分
