Miozzo (Cts): “We didn’t do everything we should have done.” In Lombardy 4,126 cases. Ricciardi: “Milan and Naples are already out of control”

“We have not done everything we should have done. We can no longer waste time, we are entering an extremely critical phase ”. Faced with an epidemic curve that tends to rise, Agostino Miozzo, coordinator of the Scientific technical committeeadmits that, in his opinion, something in the preparation of the Second wave it was not the right way. “We have had a lot time to prepare properly and I wonder if the system used the time available. When I see photos of 8-10 hour people queuing at drive in to do the buffer I have a feeling that the answer to the question is dramatically negative, ”he adds, predicting weeks “delicate”, on the eve that “we can no longer waste time” because “we are entering an extremely critical phase.”

Testimony of the first data arriving from the regions, in particular from the Lombardy that in the last 24 hours has registered an increase of 4,126 new cases in the last 24 hours compared to 36 thousand tampons. The data, which mark a duplication net compared to Tuesday’s infections, was anticipated by Tgr Lombardia of the Rai in the 2:00 p.m. edition. Almost half of the cases were determined in the metropolitan city of milan. An area that, in the opinion of Walter Ricciardi, “It’s already out of control” as Naples. This is the worst official daily increase in the region most affected by the coronavirus (3,251 positives on March 21, but with contained buffers) and the buffer / positive ratio, now abouteleven%, compared to 9.3% on Tuesday. Some new positives about 300 in just one day they were hospitalized in Covid departments and a dozen more are patients in intensive care. Therefore, they become more than 1500 me Beds employees in Lombard structures and more than 130 patients assisted in intensive care.

The increase in positivity marks a new outbreak in the diffusion of COVID-19. “The temporary sanitary facilities installed in the pavilions of the Milan Fair and of Bergamo will reopen in the coming days and will guarantee the Lombard system the first 201 additional beds of intensive care, which will be gradually taken care of ”, announced the Region of Lombardy. The decision comes just the day the governor Attilio fontana sign the order by entering the curfew from 11pm to 5am, while the store closings of average me large dimensions It should come in a second measure. The Lombard situation, for which, as revealed Daily fact, he Cts regionale He had already called for strict measures last Friday – he considers it very worrying Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza. However, in his opinion he is not the only metropolis of the country in trouble.

“Milan, Naplesprobably Rome I’m already out of control on the plane of containment of the epidemic, that is proof me tracing “explained Ricciardi, professor of General Hygiene, during a webinar at the Gemelli Polyclinic. “When you cannot contain – he continued – you have to to mitigateyou basically have to block mobility, which is something terrible. We meet as in 1400. Despite our space technologies, if we fail to intercept infections, we have a need to make these decisions, ”said Ricciardi. “The decisions taken – added Speranza’s consultant – however in a confusing context different competencies between the State and the Regions ”, there is a risk of not being able to block“ the spread of the virus, which knows no borders. We have to reboot to make the right decisions at the right time and not when it is too late. “Then he added:” It is clear that if you decide when there is naked it’s easy, people will scared, but they are decisions to be made two, three, four weeks ago. Politics is brave, If you do not have safety me greeting you can’t have a good economy ”.

The Covid-19 pandemic, Miozzo continued, “was the first great real planetary emergency.” From January 1 to March 10, “the international community It was 2 months old, a long time to prepare, but no one used it. We enter quick crisis in March because they were missing More expensive me oxygen cylinders “. Later, “we had a good skill in response, we left a dramatic period with the anxiety of going back to normal, an anxiety governed a little superficially and from which we can now see the results ”. But in the meantime, not everything possible has been done to equip ourselves when the cold arrives: “We knew that with the winter season The problem of influences and that this would have overwhelmed the sensitivity hospitals. “Now, Miozzo concluded,” we have a duty not to waste precious time and learn from lessons I had, so as not to succumb to what happens “.
