Earlier this week, Wired magazine published a document obtained with an official request for access to documents from the Ministry of Public Education: the survey in the hands of Lucia Azzolina on the number of infected people in Italian schools. The number provided was 64,980 infected among students and school staff as of October 31. The document, however, specified that the data had been collected by the ministry by processing questionnaires voluntarily sent by directors when infections were discovered in their institutes. However, schools in just over a third of Italian municipalities had responded, so the figure was necessarily a big flaw compared to the actual figures for the entire territory.
That number, although partial, was already very large in itself: dividing it by each Italian region on that date represented, everywhere, except in Campania, where schools had been closed, a higher percentage of infections than that detected among all citizens of each category. , in some regions even double the general average. The Azzolina who had these data in hand, however, did not reveal them and in fact at that time shouted against the closure of schools arguing with the governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, who had left the students at home instead of support the explosion of infections in that area.
The other day the Chamber’s Culture Commission heard from the coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee, Agostino Miozzo, about the school. A deputy from the Democratic Party, Matteo Orfini, asked him for his opinion on these data on public education revealed by Wired. Miozzo with great candor and sincerity admitted that he read them hastily in the magazine, and could not explain them, because the Ministry of Education had never transmitted them to the CTS and therefore could not have the possible interpretations of them. At the end of the meeting, Orfini himself, immediately silenced by those who led the work, took the floor to define “disconcerting” that Azzolina did not send the CTS the numbers on the infections in the school that he had collected and well known.
That minister has a very serious responsibility for the second wave of Italian infections, and it must be understood if, in addition to the obvious inability to do his job, there was also a dramatic bad faith in hiding this data. But from Miozzo himself we learn that the CTS is devoid of any type of data, from time to time the Higher Institute of Health sends them publications and some other auditors send others. It is not a trivial matter, because we have a government that bases all its decisions on the elections of the “scientists” of the CTS, and now we know that they are forced to give their opinions without knowing a single independent piece of information on which to base them: They are spread by someone, they are hidden from others so that those who supply or hide that data say what they want to hear. So if things go wrong, the government falls on the shoulders of technical scientists who almost always bear no blame or responsibility for decisions made without their opinion, and sometimes even in contrast.
The ruling class that unfortunately has this country in its hands has made the art of guilt the main program of government. There are absolute champions in the blame game, professionals refined by the number in Palazzo Chigi (Giuseppe Conte), going down to the ministries and not excluding many regional presidents and councilors. By unloading the barrel on the shoulders of the other, in the end they roll it onto the Italians. All, without exception. Those who govern us have done everything right, only those who are governed have combined the disaster: the boys who made the night in summer, the families who went to the shopping center, those who crammed the streets of the city center with shops open the day before. Christmas.
The other night in this discharge of his responsibilities towards the defenseless, Conte reached a fever pitch by stating that the infections at the school (which he had denied until then) were certainly not due to him, Azzolina or the Minister of Transport Paola From Micheli. that they had implemented impeccable and very safe protocols, but to the students that when the bell rings they go out together and greet each other in a meeting in front of the school. I couldn’t have the face to say things like that, and I’m actually not good at politics. But these are true bronze-faced world champions, hands down. And in fact, after having made the opening of the school their own banner, pretending that nothing is happening now, they say that this issue does not depend on the central government, but on the local authorities. And they threw the barrel on the poor prefects that now city after city must find solutions frankly that are not in their power to reopen the school safely from next January 7. As if the prefects could reach union agreements with teachers and school personnel, for example, to diversify their working hours and distribute it more throughout the day. It is not their job, but that government whose prefects only serve to unload the barrel on those shoulders. They simply sought out anyone responsible for their failure.
