“Failure to fight the virus brings new and more contagious variants.” This warning was issued on Twitter by Walter Ricciardi, a consultant to the Minister of Health and professor of hygiene at the Catholic University, who in this day and age of surge in Covid cases, pushed by Omicron 5, has repeatedly emphasized the need not to launch the plague undisturbed.
And now he repeats the message: “Wake up” is the exhortation of Ricciardi, who posts a graph (edited by US scientist Eric Topol) from which emerges what defines “the impressive evolution of Sars-CoV-2 since its debut”. This is a graph that shows, in a continual crescendo of contagion, the growth advantage accumulated by the pandemic virus from the first super variant, alpha, all the way to Omicron 4 and 5. Even higher, at the last stage of the graph, a question mark: this is where is to take another variant.
