“We are facing other painful closures, which are absolutely necessary” to try to contain the impact of the new wave of Covid-19 in our country “, and the call of the Order of Doctors” that yesterday requested the closure throughout Italy “is interesting and important in this sense, because it actually expresses a very widespread opinion among doctors in this country. ” This is what he explained Massimo Galli, specialist in infectious diseases at the Sacco Hospital-Milan State University, who spoke in ‘Agorà’ about Rai 3.
“Those who have a different opinion have it for their own reasons – he added – not based on a scientific fact or a fact of reality.” As for Filippo Anelli, president of Fnomceo (National Federation of Orders of Surgeons and Dentists), also according to Galli “we should close immediately”. In the current situation for the infectious diseases specialist “it may still be reasonable to consider some regional differences but with extreme care so as not to run the risk of frustrating the results obtained. In any case, after a possible national blockade, it is not that immediately after we can do it this summer, otherwise, we would be again. ” In fact, the expert, unlike other scientists, thinks that Italy could not afford the general openings of the summer months.
“I am afraid that there is no doubt that the situation is very out of control: the measures that are adopted must be applied with great care and effectiveness if we want to be able to reverse the trend and not find ourselves in an even more complex situation,” he said.
“The other diseases do not go on strike because there is Covid: we have to organize ourselves to carefully examine all the situations that cannot be postponed, otherwise the pandemic will end up doing damage that goes far beyond the very sad death toll. Deaths that – and this is a great regret – could have been contained and avoided ”.
Galli then commented on the statements by the new Calabrian health commissioner, Giuseppe Zuccatelli, who in May, in full emergency, considered the masks “useless”: “It is true that at the beginning of the pandemic we did not have many elements. All of us, including myself, made some mistakes, especially at the beginning. But one that deals with of Health Organization perhaps it is better not to be alarmed and to have a mental attitude that does not expand on things that are not known and that are not within reach. The one about the masks is a completely erroneous statement, of an urban legend “.
“I have the impression – observes the doctor – that this country continues with one of its characteristics, unfortunately even in such a dramatic situation, namely, that in certain positions people are not called on the basis of skills and real preparation, but they are called the friends of friends. This is the situation that any citizen can have. There are still unfortunate options even now. “
