For the treatment of diseases under the conventional health mode, the medical level is not bad. The number of cases infected with COVID-19 has increased beyond the normal level, which naturally cannot be borne by the original medical system. Once the patient is not treated in time, a hospital infection chain will form in the hospital. In addition, there is a serious shortage of medical equipment such as ventilators, and oxygen therapy is needed for confirmed patients in most cases. Without life support, the mortality rate is bound to remain high. As a result, there will be a vicious circle in which more confirmed cases continue to increase the number of dead patients.
In addition, the serious aging of the Italian population is also an objective necessity leading to the high mortality pressure during the COVID-19 epidemic. Unlike SARS, which mainly attacked young people more than a decade ago, the elderly accounted for a large proportion of cases in COVID-19. In addition, this group of people already suffer from basic diseases, and even suffer from more than one basic disease. In the case of serious overdraft of medical resources, it is naturally difficult for these patients with weak immunity to get away with it.
As a reference, it can be found that the high level of medical care in European countries, including Italy, is believed to be well known, but in the face of this epidemic, the special situation of infectious and susceptible people has been ignored. Under such an objective background, the lack of protective materials and the serious shortage of treatment facilities such as ventilators will all become the key conditions for the sustained high mortality rate, and insufficient attention in the early stage will lead to the delay of treatment opportunity, which will also aggravate the seriousness of the surge in mortality rate.
