Abstract Centennial-scale increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide, known as carbon dioxide jumps, are identified during deglacial, glacial and interglacial periods and linked to the Northern Hemisphere abrupt climate variations. However, the limited number of identified carbon dioxide jumps prevents investigating the role of orbital background conditions on the different components of the global carbon cycle that may lead to such rapid atmospheric carbon dioxide releases.

Discussion This study provides data to investigate the possible impact of SARS-Cov-2 infection on the use of specific specialist care (hospital admissions and outpatient specialist visits) and on related extra costs within 6 months from recovery on a large cohort from an Italian province. Unfortunately, we could not include data on primary care encounters since in Italy they are not traceable.
