WORDS OF LOPALCO – “Covid blocks the health system: today we have more than 1,200 people hospitalized and 140 in intensive care. If we do not stop the infection and double the number we will have 300 people in intensive care, it means that in order to handle Covid patients we will have to block the operating rooms. Professor Pierluigi Lopalco, Health Counselor of the Puglia Region, said this, stressing that “there is a limit given by the number of anesthetists, who are not there” and “in 6 months they are not trained”. “Outside of that limit, we must stop hospital activity.”
Lopalco spoke about it on Facebook during a confrontation with Franco Busto, secretary general of Uil Puglia. Blocking activity in hospitals, stressed the commissioner, “means advancing other pathologies.” And as for the time required for training, Lopalco said that this “applies to rescuers but also to other professionals.”
“We need to stop the circulation of the virus – he reiterated – to avoid the impact on the health system and therefore on health in general. If there is no health, there is no economy either. Everything is connected. “” This virus – he continued – unfortunately has already taken many people, many parents, many grandparents but also younger people. Too many victims already. “” The problem, however – he concluded – is that unfortunately this is not the only impact of the disease, the problem of the pandemic is not only direct damage but also has other consequences ”.
