3,753 or 37,000: Let's act as if Covid-19 cases multiply by 10
- "In the Spanish State more than 500,000 people may already be infected, says expert Oriol Mitjà," we published the morning of March 25 in the ARGIA Monitoring section for brief news of plague. A few hours before, there were: "The actual number of infections in Italy can be the equivalent of multiplying by 10 the officially used number." This is information from reliable sources and very much to be taken into account. We should take them into account, both in order to require the authorities to act to the extent of gravity and for the citizens to strictly comply with our personal measures: no one in any trade or in close relations without protecting hands and faces.
The prestigious researcher Oriol Mitjà, a leader in infectious diseases, has warned that in Spain there are already 560,000 people infected with Covid-19. This would explain why the plague shows such a high mortality rate in Spain. In a tweet published on your Twitter account, it is estimated that Germany has tested 69% of all cases it has, while Spain has received only 5%. Therefore, to say that in Spain the virus has a mortality rate of 6% is an overestimation, since "only a small proportion of real positives have been diagnosed. The number of real cases is huge, over half a million."
In a tweet released under the title "some countries have played better than others against Covid-19", Oriol Mitjà said: "Germany has been very good. The total number of real cases is modest because people with mild symptoms started to be tested there and so they slowed down the spread. The number of deaths is 0.3% of the true infected, similar to that of Spain, 0.3% of the true (...) I can be wrong, but according to the data I have, the Germans were doing 160,000 weekly tests to all patients who had symptoms (compared to 15,000 in Spain, we have now multiplied them by 10".
Mitjà calls for containment measures to curb the plague.

Partial confinement is working, but it is NOT enough to prevent sanitary collapse.

Oriol Mitjà is not, of course, the only major expert in the world, but he has achieved great credibility despite his youth. The new infectious disease treatment system is open both in the laboratory and away from laboratories, if this were a war "on the front line". We could say that he has successfully tackled enemies such as Pian's disease in Papua, for example. She was awarded by the UN and awarded the Catalan medal of l'Any (Catalan this year) by the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2016.
With Spain (including the Basques of the South) and Italy as the most afflicted countries in Europe so far, there has been talk of figures very similar to that of the Italian Head of Civil Protection, Angello Borrel, who has told journalists that in Italy they could actually be infected by COVID-19 ten times of those officially infected. In particular, it has advanced the hypothesis of 600,000 infections (until the afternoon of 24 the contagion of Italy was 69,176). Without a bounce, he said: "There may be ten in the place of each of the certificates as infected."

This would explain the large differences in the mortality rates of this coronavirus from one country to another, repeatedly contaminated in daily statistics, the proportions between them. China recorded as of March 24 3,277 coronavirus deaths with 81,171 official outbreaks that have not been confirmed. Compare with Italy, Iran or Spain.
In the case of Euskal Herria, on the afternoon of 24 March the Berria newspaper recorded a total of 3,753 cases (the one that best supports the statistics of the Basque Country), together with those officially recorded until then by the Basque Government and the Government of Navarra, and in the cases of Iparralde the accounts as possible (very rare). In general, in Hego Euskal Herria, when testing symptoms of COVID-19 the same criteria is followed as in Spain, it is correct with a routine of multiplying by 10. Therefore, how many were contaminated by Covid-19 on March 24 in Euskal Herria? 37,000 people.
Everyone in his corner, in the town in which I live, the Basque Government had 13 positive counts on 24 March. That's why I've still seen so many citizens come in without taking their faces in the shops. The older you are, the less protection you have... you waste this shelter that's leaving us with COVID-19, unconsciously delaying the time to return to normal life. Would we say that in our corner there are not 13 citizens but there are 130 affected by Covid-19?
SP. 13:45 h. The journalist was surprised by the image EITB offered at this time about the news published by the EiTB group. Oh my God! Where are we?
