Last Tuesday the respirator was no longer enough and they were about to intubate him, transferring him to intensive care. But his body, despite being tested by weeks of illness, struggled and endured. COVID-19. “At 4:47 pm between Sunday and Monday the nurses came to unplug my lung ventilator in a hurry, taking him immediately to another patient … I hope that he too will overcome it all with the help of God.” Luigi danile I can tell. He is happy and excited, although his voice is weak because breathing is still a struggle. But yesterday afternoon, by the 46 years of Spinea Interned since mid-October at Dolo’s hospital, the second good news has also arrived, brought by a nurse with a sign stuck to the door of the room: “Negative Covid”.
Covid Point Frontline Doctors – Under 30s, Graduate or Postgraduate Only
Volunteer for the Red Cross, Civil Protection, Neighborhood Control, from Spinea to Marghera where he has many friends who yesterday, on the “Buongiorno Marghera” Facebook page, wanted to share the joy of exiting the tunnel. “My whole family has been affected by the coronavirus – says Luigi -. At the beginning of October, my 18 year old son had a sore throat and a slight cough which then passed. But then my wife, my 14-year-old son, my mother-in-law who lives next to us, and I got sick. I have been ill since October 14: a week with 39 fever and a severe headache. There were no lung problems at first, but on October 22, the “shortness of breath” began, the difficulty in breathing».
Adele, ex Miss and now young infected doctor: “I, target of deniers”
Twenty years old, healthy, athlete. But also beautiful, very sociable, bright. By the canons of denialist narrative, Treviso-based Adele Di Costanzo is the ideal target: how can a 27-year-old girl, a former Conegliano miss with more than 15,000 followers on Instagram, get sick from the Coronavirus?
The call to 118, the emergency room, immediately the CT scan that excludes pulmonary embolism, hospitalization. “Two more days pass and another X-ray shows the lungs hard, dry and blocked. My family members? They came out with a day or two of fever, then everything passed. Only my mother-in-law is still in medicine, but she didn’t need a respirator. I, on the other hand, kept getting worse. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and Covid attacked me much more, until last Tuesday when they were about to intubate me: the ventilator was now pushing to the maximum, 98 percent, there was really no more margin. He was hungry for air, desperately trying to breathe, he looked like a fish out of water … He kept his mouth open, but could not breathe.
Then something happened. The care of the Dolo hospital (“I thank with all my heart the doctors, nurses, health workers who treat us in everything, with delicacy and professionalism in taking care of those of us who are in bed, even with words of comfort”) or something that even he doesn’t know how to explain (“I don’t know, but maybe my friends’ prayers helped me, the people I’ve tried to help over the years …”) caused my lungs. Little by little, day after day, with difficulty, until the respirator farewell: «I felt a sense of rebirth. I began to cry, an incredible sensation that air that circulated again ». And, as soon as he could, Luigi launched his publication through Facebook, hoping that everyone understands: “Bring masks, but not DIY or fashionable colors, because they are worthless – he wrote -. It’s like laying down a loose mesh net in the hopes of blocking out mosquitoes. Use only surgically tested masks. “” Ah, “he adds, making a last effort to speak,” it will take me a long time to recover, because all the muscles are also in bad shape. But I still have the breath to tell everyone that I have the courage to say that everything is a hoax, a “conspiracy”, that they use that same courage to sign a self-declaration in which, if they catch Covid, they promise to leave the place of who needs care and wants to fight it. »And Luigi heaves a sigh.
