Hunted Ippolito in La7: “Stop bitching for Salvini. What has the government done in 6 months?” But the teacher responds by listing the interventions

Ask and answer one “Half past eight” (La7) between the philosopher Massimo cacciari me Giuseppe Ippolito, scientific director of the Spallanzani National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Rome. The topic of discussion is the extension of the national state of emergency for covid until January 31.
The former mayor of Venice is very critical of the executive and, without naming him, attacks the secretary of the Pd Nicola Zingaretti for his statement on August 21 on Matteo salvini: “I ask Professor Ippolito: What has been done in these 6 months? Have the places in ICU increased? How many? Where is? What did the government do? Besides saying that does not want money for the health of Europe, complete insanity, what did he do? I would like to know, instead of knowing the number of deaths and injuries each day. And those of the government don’t say shit that I heard, that is, if Salvini had been in the government, there would have been a massacre“.

Ippolito’s answer is ready: “The country has really done a great job in recent months. Places in intensive care have doubled and this is a tangible fact“” Well, very good, “says Cacciari, nodding. Ippolito continues:” Not only does the town have twice as many beds in intensive care, it also effective disease treatment system. The territorial services of the Uscar (Special Unit for Continuity of Regional Care). The Regions, for better or for worse, who better and who worse, have acted, have made plans, have defined paths and procedures. Doctors have come to understand that the management model must be early ”.

The comparison resumes in the mask is mandatory, to which Cacciari defines himself in favor, but disputes the state of emergency: “Is it necessary to prolong a situation in which everything passes through the decrees of the Prime Minister? Is a state of emergency necessary from a political and institutional point of view to tell people to put on a mask? Is it necessary to expand a situation where Parliament does not function for a year and does not count for anything? Are we kidding? “.
“I do not agree that Parliament does not count for anything – answers Ippolito – And I do not turn it into a political fact. Far from me to do politics. But as has happened in previous emergencies, this time too is the coordination model that works, the model of being able to make decisions and be able to intervene with effective measures ”.

we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we carry out a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, interviews with experts, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom. That is why I ask those who read these lines to support us. Give us a minimum contribution, equal to the price of a cappuccino per week, which is essential for our work.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
