Officially the seventh wave of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus did not and does not exist, although the reality is that Covid cases have been occurring in the population for a few months, so it is quite common to find infected people or relatives of infected people in our environment. We have already lost count of the variants, although we are now being told that as the so-called “stealth” BA.2 loses strength, the BA.4 and BA.5 sublines are taking over, according to the latest report from the Ministry of Health.

The fact is that The number of hospitalizations increased noticeably, with a thousand more cases in just four days, reaching an average of 653 people affected per hundred thousand inhabitants. In another time this number would have been worrying, now it is almost not taken into account due to the so-called “flu” strategy. Fortunately, in 55% of hospitalizations, pneumonia is not detected, but rather severe flu, and most of the time in people with mild symptoms. Yes, the fact that these are uncommon respiratory symptoms at this time of year is strange.
