Many years ago there was a famous advertisement for a toothpaste that entered the minds of Italians: prevention is better than cure. Luca Zaia’s method of dealing with the pandemic can be summed up in these 5 words. With an extra twist: the ability to not dwell on what virologists and most media scientists are saying. The governor went further thinking with his own head and taking into account that each territory has its own history. At the end of February he was the first to insist on generalized tampons, since decisions could only be made knowing the real health situation of the population. In the end, the Zaia model went to school. Now all over Italy there are carpet tests. But the Doge is already working on preventing the future, in the coming weeks. Apart from the quick test that tells you in ten minutes if you have the Corona – which has just come into operation and is decisive for schools, residences and hospitals – two new types of tampons are arriving: 1) the mini, which can be used by a common citizen without queuing, which will lead to self-diagnosis. 2) the test that will indicate if a person has influenza A, influenza B or Covid. In short, the fundamental test to clear up any doubts about the patient, restoring that essential health normality to safeguard the ordinary activity of hospitals and general practitioners. Of course, Zaia did not stop to read the WHO recommendations – which at the end of February, among other things, argued the uselessness of wearing the mask – and spared no health costs. He was the first to understand, among other things, that the home isolation of asymptomatic patients – ah, among other things, it was in Vo ‘Euganeo where the famous asymptomatic patients were discovered – was the key to not obstructing hospitals. He was the first to create a “drive in” to receive patients for swabs, in order to avoid queues in hospitals.
An abyss of March – And then the Venetian president immediately insisted on the use of masks, in fact only 1.8% of doctors in intensive care got sick and only 3% of other doctors were infected. At one point, it must be said, Zaia had a hard time anyway – she had doubled the nearly 500 places for critically ill patients. Fortunately, however, there was no need to use the new stations. Thanks to the closure, the emergency has slowly subsided. Until the quiet summer, during which the Doge didn’t stop with tampons though. Your region has the record of exams performed. Now Zaia, who has avoided the worst, can appear with her head held high at the Roman tables, despite the fact that yesterday in Veneto there were more than 30 thousand positive cases since February 21. Exactly 30,107. In the last 24 hours, 533 new positives and 3 deaths have been registered. But the figures that matter, those of intensive care, are different: just 21. The president himself explained it at the press conference this Wednesday, releasing figures that will leave you speechless, showing an unpublished table in which the hospital situation is compared . from March 7th with October 7th. The data clearly indicate how, between March and October, the pressure on hospitals decreased significantly: – on March 7, the percentage of hospitalized patients compared to the total of positives was 31.8%, today it is 6.6% – hospitalized in intensive care compared to the total number of positives, on March 7 they were 11.3%, a figure that has dropped to 0.5% today – the number of people admitted to intensive care compared to the total number of hospitalized patients, on 7 March was 46.2%, today it fell to 7.6% – the average hospital stay also fell: on March 7 between 17 and 14 days, today it is between 12 and 8. – finally, the average age of the patients is still very similar between the two dates examined in intensive care. There is something different, fundamental, compared to March, as Zaia himself affirms: “Today, with 95% of asymptomatic patients, we are facing a different virus from February-March, which is not causing a” health emergency. “
