Rome, November 9, 2020 – The president of Fnomceo (National Federation of Orders of Surgeons and Dentists), Filippo Anelli, launches a new alarm on the situation of Coronavirus in Italy: “If we were to launch a more drastic initiative today, that is a blockade of the country – he tells Rainews24 – I think we could reach the Christmas with a descending phase of the peak that will probably stabilize at the Immaculate Conception. If, on the other hand, the numbers should grow as expected now, without further action, I think in the Immaculate Conception we will have another 10,000 deaths and we will have those 5,000 places occupied in intensive care that scare us “.
“We are very concerned about a flu spike until December “, says Anelli.” At this point we have reached quite critical levels – he emphasizes -, there are lines of ambulances outside the emergency room a little everywhere in the different Regions, in intensive care we are beginning to have important numbers ”. And he warns: “The drama that exists within hospitals with overload of work is evident.”
“The number of NGO doctors is insignificant, they are very few”Anelli also said about the proposal of some Regions to take advantage of all available resources, with regard to white coats, and therefore also to hire doctors from NGOs. “We have repeatedly urged the Government, and we have also obtained a response, also considering the availability of doctors in the last two years, they are about to 12 thousand doctors. To these – he remembers – are added the 23 thousand doctors who are now graduates who have taken the specialization course, and these today can be very useful to unlock competition ”.
And an “immediate closure” is also invoked by Carlo Palermo, national secretary of Anaao assomed, the hospital doctors union. “With the worrying data on infections and deaths and with the Regions questioning the numbers that classify them as red zones, the only solution is a 6-8 week national shutdown to flatten the curve.” For Palermo, “we are in a long delay and we can no longer witness this rebound of responsibility between the Regions and the government.” “If we continue with this trend, it is easy to predict that some selection will have to be made between who can be intubated and who cannot. We will return to war medicine,” he concludes.
This morning the infectious diseases specialist at the Sacco hospital also raised the alarm, Massimo Galli: “The situation is enormously out of control,” he said, supporting the proposal for a “total blockade” of Medical Orders. Support that also comes froml ‘Association of Hospital Resuscitatorswhat to expect “a duplication of hospitalizations and intensive care in the next week if the trend does not change. “
The alarm of the Naples nurses.
But doctors aren’t the only ones calling for even stricter measures. “Given the epidemiological situation, the growing number of infections, the alarming data provided by the hospital management, non-compliance with the prescriptions by citizens, I ask on behalf of all nurses and pediatric nurses of the Order of the Province of Naples more restrictive measures for the protection of public health and the safeguarding of our professional family ”, says the president of OPI Napoli, the Neapolitan Order of Nurses, Ciro Carbone.
