The virologist Andrea Crisanti continues to flaunt dissatisfaction with the anti-Covid solutions established by the Government and calls for greater pressure on the population, even at the cost of invading the privacy of citizens.
“The measures implemented with the new Dpcm they are temporary and non-resolutive measures “, explained to the microphones of Ansa the holder of the chair of microbiology at the University of Padua. “Until a plan is drawn up to consolidate the results possibly derived from more restrictive measures, we will inevitably continue in this spiral of contagion”.
Therefore, an even more restrictive intervention is necessary, even if this implies interference in the daily life of Italians. For Crisanti it should “implement a plan surveillance that, once we have managed to reduce infections through more restrictive measures as we all hope, we will be able to keep them low and under control “.
After all, explains the virologist, other countries have already managed to achieve such a goal:“From Taiwan to Korea”he points out.In addition to the measures illustrated today by the Prime Minister, it would be necessary to adopt a strategy that has never been implemented in Italy until now “. That’s starting a “Real surveillance plan that includes targeted tracing to interrupt transmission chains, effective IT tools and strengthening of diagnostic capacity”.
A thesis already explicitly illustrated in another speech delivered yesterday and reported by “Il Gazzettino”. “If at this moment I were the head of the Scientific Committee”, had in fact declared, “I would probably do three things: I would ask for unconditional access to all the mobility data of Italians, but also to behaviors and population density to understand where the areas of greatest risk are.”.
A fundamental support base could be the data that is stolen from the users of the network by the main providers, as explicitly and unequivocally indicated: “Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon are private companies that have a lot of data on travel and traceability from the people”Crisanti said in his speech at the digital festival “DigitalMeet” (Padua). Data that “If they were made available to those who plan social and economic life, they would be very useful. Unfortunately, we do not have them”.
“In Italy in 5 months we have not built a surveillance network worthy of the name”, he complained again, before pointing the finger that science has submitted to politics: “If we find ourselves in this situation, the credit goes to the technical scientific committee that has aligned itself with political expectations, and it is wrong.”.
