“For those who deny, for those who speculate, for those who have not protected: may you also hear the sound of a broken heart.” A few words to describe the unbearable pain of a daughter who has just lost her mother to Covid-19: the 50-year-old Milanese journalist Moira Perruso entrusted them to Facebook, with a publication shared and commented on hundreds of times in a few hours . An outburst born in front of the bag that the medical staff of the San Donato Polyclinic gave him, which contained the clothes his mother Mafalda was wearing at the time of hospitalization.
“That’s all they’ve given me back and for the next six days I won’t even be able to open it because the contents are infected. This adds pain to the pain, as it would have been a comfort to me to be able to squeeze those clothes to smell one more time. Mom, “she says,” on the other hand, the coronavirus denies me even that, in addition to the possibility of kissing her and hugging her for the last time. And there are still those who allow themselves to argue that it doesn’t exist. ”Moira and her loved ones have paid and are paying a very price. High by the second wave of the pandemic: a few days before his mother the virus also took his aunt, while the father is hospitalized and the sister is positive, confined at home for 25 days.
“I had a beautiful family that now no longer really exists, because even those who will leave it will not be the same person as before – he continues -. According to the deniers, our suffering would be invented? How can they deny that the life of all of us is you change forever? Ms. Mafalda was fine until a couple of weeks ago: “Before Covid disrupted her world, she and my father, both 83, lived in Buccinasco, on the fourth floor of a building without an elevator and had never had trouble doing The Stairs every day without help – continues Moira Perruso -. We do not know how the virus entered the house. Mom started having stomach pains, so much so that we thought it was an intestinal problem ”. Then came the respiratory difficulties and hospitalization, where she remained 15 days before surrendering to the coronavirus: “They put the Cpap helmet on her, but last Saturday they called us to tell us that they were going to discharge her soon because the saturation was good. The situation suddenly precipitated, in a few days, and mom left. “
Now the body has been transported to Bergamo for cremation – “we had to send it there because in Milan there were already 300 coffins waiting” – and the funeral will take place in about ten days, in the hope that by then the relatives will be negative. and that they give you one last goodbye. “At this moment I feel lost, but I have one thing very clear: the truth must be faced and lived, it does not make sense to deny it or try to remove it by attributing responsibility to another – Perruso emphasizes -. Deniers sow death and pain, splitting society, but those who blame politicians are also wrong. The responsibility is individual, each one of us must do his part to stop the spread of the virus.
Instead of denying, we should “report what does not work,” the journalist concludes. “I am thinking, for example, of tampons: all of us, direct contacts of a person with Covid, have had to do them in private, paying capital. It is a defeat for the company. Public health. We must solve these problems, not shout that the coronavirus is an invention. Unfortunately, it exists, and I hope that to understand it, it is not necessary for everyone to see a lot with the clothes of a person they love. ”
