Pandemia, numeri e politica. Mentre in Italia si discute, tra mediazioni e ventilate crisi di governo, se seguire in qualche modo l’esempio della Germania che ha deciso di imporre il lockdown dal 16 dicembre al 7 gennaio per cercare di impedire la terza ondata dei contagi, la banca dati dell’università statunitense Johns Hopkins avverte che è stato sfondato il muro dei 74 milioni di contagi nel mondo mentre il numero dei decessi supera il milione e 648 mila.

Basta un colpo d’occhio al “cruscotto” informatico dei dati per ravvisare l’impennata del contagio. Record degli Usa che hanno registrato il 16 dicembre 2020 oltre 250.000 contagi e 3.700 decessi in un solo giorno
