Men and women visited in car seats, attached to oxygen cylinders that the nurses carry on their shoulders and placed on the asphalt, the tube to hold the patient passed through the windows. It occurs in the emergency room of the “Cotugno” Hospital transformed into emergency first aid by the wave of contagion that is sweeping Naples and all of Campania, which today with 4601 new infections, despite the fact that the national figures have registered a slight decrease, it remains the region with the highest number of cases after Lombardy. Without the blocking shield, which protected it in the first phase, in this second wave, Campania seems increasingly difficult.
In the last Dpcm, the Government inserted it in the yellow zone, the one of relatively less criticality, but images, voices and cries of alarm that arrive speak of an emergency in the emergency. Postcards from a region in disarray, with hospitals in crisis and a crowded promenade, nurses in wards at the end of their strength and small families and children, with and without masks, sitting in bars and restaurants overlooking the sea or lying in the sun . Martín’s summer on the beach in front of the Rotonda Díaz.
Queues in emergency rooms, people who, to be visited and perhaps hospitalized, call private ambulances, 118 in alarm, in hospitals the situation has crossed the threshold of criticalityto. The number of hospitalizations is increasing, the intensive care units are becoming more crowded, the work of doctors, nurses and health workers is becoming more complicated every day. From the hospital in Frattamaggiore, in the province of Naples, Vincenzo Di Mattia, a nurse and representative of the “Nursind” union, asks for “courageous decisions, the same courage that nurses put into action every day for health professionals”.
Recipient of the appeal “the policy”. “We request the hiring immediately – says Di Matteo – It is not conceivable to do this work overtime or beyond working hours. We can not wait any longer. We do not know how long it will be successful.to To work like this, between psychophysical stress and the contagious colleagues, we are at the limit. With more nurses it will be possible to loosen this grip “.
In the “Monaldi”, on the other hand, specialized in the treatment of pulmonary vascular diseases, such as Cotugno and Cardarelli, one of the largest and most representative hospitals in Naples, the nurses and doctors work “as if the sword of Damocles of the virus was constantly hanging over our heads. “A young intensive care unit nurse who asks to remain anonymous tells HuffPost.” I haven’t been infected yet, but I don’t know how long I will be able to know. “The hospital, despite From being destined to host patients with pulmonary-cardiological diseases, for whom the Covid infection could be fatal, it has become ‘semi-Covid’, the traditional departments were merged, heart surgery and transplants were considerably reduced. ” Always to cure the virus. “The young nurse talks about ever-changing sanitation protocols, about” confused organization, poor planning. “More hospitalizations s and deaths from Covid every day. And the contagion grows among nurses. “The truth – he says – is that we are running after the virus, but he is much faster and we cannot keep up with him.” Bitterness remains “for a situation that could have been widely anticipated but nothing has been done” and for the images that come from the crowded promenade. It was left open by the mayor of the city, Luigi de Magistris, who today, however, asked for the “red zone” by pointing a finger at the President of the Region, Vincenzo De Luca, and at the Government, which assigned the yellow zone to Campania despite the number of infections.
“It is only the closure or the red zone that prevents people from going out like these days and meeting, but only the Prime Minister can decide on this. WhyI as the red zone of a region or one or more citiesto può It was also adopted by the President of the Region “, wrote de Magistris on Facebook, adding that” closing is not the solution to the images of ambulance lines and the collapse of hospitals, otherwise we would have already done it “and” If the situation in the hospitals is dramatic, as can be seen from the testimonies collected, it means that those who declared the yellow zone of Campania were probably wrong, perhaps also becauseIs misled by inaccurate, accurate and correct data provided by regional offices “.
With the new report from the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and the Ministry of Health, expected for days but not yet published, based on updated data referring to the period between October 26 and November 1, Campania de amarillo should move to a range of higher risk. “We expect at least the orange zone,” a source from the Region explained to HuffPost a few days ago. Meanwhile, the numbers continue to rise, the criticisms increase, the situation in hospitals is dramatic. Campania this time may not make it.
