To “fully comply with the request” of the president of the Lincei, Giorgio Parisi “to take strict and drastic measures in the next two or three days” to “avoid that the contagion figures in Italy inevitably arrive, in the absence of effective corrective measures , in the next three weeks, to produce several hundred deaths a day. ”This is what we read in the text of a letter-appeal that has just been sent to the Head of State Sergio Mattarella and the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, signed by more than a hundred scientists and university professors, including the names of the rector of the Normale di Pisa, Luigi Ambrosio and Fernando Ferroni, former president of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics.
“As scientists, researchers, university professors – read the text – we believe that it is correct and urgent to express our deepest concern regarding the current phase of spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and we believe that it is useful to inform the attention of the institutions , the President of Repubblica Sergio Mattarella and the Government, in the person of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the estimates contained in the article by the president of the Accademia dei lincei, Professor Giorgio Parisi, published in the last hours on the Huffington Post blog ” .
“The necessary reconciliation of the needs of the economy and the protection of workplaces with those of containing the spread of infection must now leave room for the urgent need to safeguard the right to individual and collective health enshrined in art. 32 of the Constitutional Charter as inviolable “, warn the signatories of the appeal, among them Gianfranco Viesti, economist from the University of Bari, geologist Carlo Doglioni and president of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Alfio Quarteroni, applied mathematician, Enzo Marinari, professor of Physics at the Sapienza University, Roberta Calvano, Professor of Constitutional Law Unitelma Sapienza, Piero Marcati, Vice-rector of the Gran Sasso Institute, Alessandra Celletti, astronomer, Anvur vice-president.
“The protection of jobs, business and industrial activities, commercial establishments and other activities would also inevitably be compromised as a result of an uncontrolled spread of the pandemic that lasted for many months – is emphasized in the text sent to the Colle and Palazzo Chigi -. The adoption of effective measures now serves precisely to save the economy and employment. The longer we wait, the more the measures to be taken will have to be harsher, last longer, thus producing a greater economic impact. “
″ That is why we must stop the contagion now, with the appropriate measures, and that is why we ask for an adequate intervention now, in compliance with constitutional guarantees, but in full protection of the health of citizens, which goes hand in hand and is also it is necessary and functional for economic well-being ”, conclude the scientists who have embraced the alarm launched in the last hours by the president of Lincei, Parisi.
