In Francia i dati giornalieri sull’infezione da Coronavirus vengono diffusi alle 19,15 dal Prof. Salomon. Questa settimana si è lasciato sfuggire che i morti sono in ospedale e non totali…
It was therefore disturbing to note that earlier this week, Prof Salomon’s reference to ‘total number of deaths in France’ suddenly changed to ‘total number of deaths in hospitals’.
An owl-eared journalist picked this up in the questions. He asked about the deaths in old peoples’ homes, retirement homes, nursing homes and individual homes. Prof. Salomon, utterly imperturbed, carefully explained that France only recorded deaths in hospitals because it was too complicated to record the others scientifically. Those deaths would eventually be integrated to the official statistics at a later date by the national statistical agency. He admitted, however, that hospital deaths ‘only represent a small part of deaths’. And he added that the ‘two principal places of death are the hospital and nursing homes.’
Dopo Italia, Spagna, Cina, anche Francia. I numeri, in questo caso dei morti da Coronavirus, sembrano non tornare e un motivo c’è. La Francia conta solo i decessi in ospedale, ben consapevole che ci sia una seconda fonte rilevante: le case di riposo. Comparare i dati per paese, tracciando curve logaritmiche e fare ragionamenti sulla diffusione internazionali diventa sempre più difficile, se non impossibile.
