“New blockade? I exclude that the conditions exist to predict hypotheses of this type, in fact, all our interventions go in the direction of avoiding any type of confinement”. This is what the governor remarked Attilio fontana, on the sidelines of the presentation of the exhibition on the 50th anniversary of the Lombardy Region organized in collaboration with the Ansa agency at the Palazzo Pirelli.
This afternoon, at 5 pm, Fontana will have a new meeting with the mayors of the Lombard provincial capitals and the leaders of the majority and opposition groups for an update on the epidemiological situation. Regional anti-Covid limitations will be “reaffirmed” in a new ordinance scheduled for today, necessary to align the one currently in force with the new Dpcm.
Room: “We are not like April”
And on the need for a real closure for cities like Milan and Naples – a need reiterated, in various places, by Walter Ricciardi, adviser to the Minister of Health – Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala interviewed by Milena Gabanelli also expressed: “At worst As a hypothesis, before deciding in this regard we still have 10, 15 days of time. I just faced a virologist whom I trust a lot. We currently have 80 patients intubated in Milan 201 in Lombardy. In April there were more than 1500. But the point “It is the average intensity of care that obstructs hospitals. The problem is the mass of admissions. But it is not something unsolvable and above all what should lead us to a new confinement”.
The emergency alarm
But launching a national alarm is instead Guido Bertolini, in charge of the COVID-19 coordination of the Lombard emergency service: At this point, with an exponential growth curve of infections, “the only thing that can be done is to close everything, a national closure. The situation in the emergency room is dramatic, not only in Lombardy, but everywhere nationwide.
Galli: “Milan, a more critical situation”
What exactly it means to wait 10 or 15 days is well explained by the teacher. Massimo galli, Head of Infectious Diseases at the Sacco Hospital in Milan, who does not rule out extreme measures for Milan: “I hope that the measures already adopted, if implemented and followed correctly, will be sufficient for the objective, which is to reverse the course within 15 days. Closing more means, in certain areas, a total blockade of the country and I don’t know how much we can afford it.
The teacher does not hide that the situation is critical and that, at least in the case of Milan, we may not have to wait: “Unfortunately, much of what we had painstakingly accomplished with the lockdown has been lost.” According to Galli, an improvement in the trend of infections by Sars-CoV-2 is not expected in the coming days: “The phenomena that are underway are not going to go away. Therefore, during the next few days we must expect a series of new cases.
“Inevitable closure if the curve does not change”
In short, the hypothesis of total closure is always on the plate
. The problem is the point of no return: “If the measures taken now do not stop the current trend, the matter becomes very serious and at that point we have no alternative »to the blockade in some areas of Italy
“It all depends on the trends of the next few days and the extent to which there will be a further increase in cases. At this time – clarifies the specialist in infectious diseases – we can do hypotheses ranging from a minimum to a maximum “. Well, if in the next few days “we reach the maximum, in the highest part of the” bifurcation “or even beyond, then what has been done is not enough and at least in certain areas of the country – unfortunately including Milan – we will have to do even more. “.
