Agostino Miozzo, coordinator of the technical-scientific committee, wrote a letter to the Il Foglio newspaper, asking for everyone’s commitment to return to school as soon as possible.
Azzolina shares some passages on Facebook.
“The real data produced by the ISS and validated by international studies say that the aggregations of people generate contagion problems, but the aggregations at risk for young people (especially adolescents) are more frequent before and after school.
Dear Director, given that in this emergency there is no place of zero risk, we must emphatically say that the school is a safe place, where the risk is “acceptable”, where in recent months all the necessary actions have been taken to reduce the risk of contagion.
However, we still have a lot of work to do, all together, without exception, to travel this last kilometer, considering this goal as more important than Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner.
We must hope to obtain the strengthening of school health, health work teams that are capable of monitoring and responding to the needs of teachers and school administrators, we must provide answers to the problem of transportation and control of external aggregations.
We must not betray the expectations of our young people again, we are going to bring them back, in January, so that they can sit in the place that is most familiar and loved, the classrooms of the school.
Miozzo reiterates: “The school is not a hotbed. The problem is before and after the lessons “
Orfini: school must restart
“In January, the school has to drop attendance for everyone. This is the goal and this must absolutely happen. Are there any risks? Obviously yes, zero risk does not exist. It’s about minimizing them and working from there until the reopening to make up for lost time and correct mistakes. A few days ago I published the puzzling video of the audience of Miozzo, coordinator of the CTS, who proved to be unaware of the data on infections in the school. Obviously what happened has provoked discussion and today Miozzo has seen fit to return to the subject with a long article on the page. And he does so by speaking of “horrendous press articles reporting implausible numbers … numbers that have no scientific reference or validation but that fuel fear and the perception of the school as an epidemic outbreak.”
Matteo Orfini, a member of parliament for the Democratic Party, writes on Facebook. “Miozzo – continues – affirms instead the use of” real data “prepared by the Higher Institute of Health and validated by international studies. Is right? We try to rebuild. The “horrendous press” articles referred to official data obtained from the records of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, it is the data collected by the ministry through school leaders that records the counts at individual schools. Numbers that according to Miozzo “have no reference or scientific validation”. He seems to understand that for the CTS the ministry and therefore the government are not reliable in monitoring the infection in schools. If this were the case, I would have expected the coordinator of the technical scientific advisory committee to the government to report the problem in time and request reliable data. Apparently Miozzo thinks otherwise. But let’s move on: the CTS coordinator refers to “true data”, that is, those provided by the higher institute of health. What data is it? Here we are helped by a statement from Minister Azzolina, who affirms the option of starting an internal monitoring that would have been “fundamental for health authorities when in some territories there has been increasing difficulty for some ASLs to file and communicate the figures on infections.” The minister goes on to explain that she has called a meeting immediately after the reopening of the school with the Higher Institute of Health and CTS to share those numbers.
Orfini adds: “Two things can be deduced from this statement: the first is that it is not true that the ministry’s data were not aware of the CTS, as Miozzo stated in a hearing at the commission. The second is that the “real data” of the ISS are presumably obtained from the ASL but also from those “without reference or scientific validation” from the Ministry, which according to Azzolina have integrated the gaps in the ASL. As you can see, there is an unsettling confusion. And once again one wonders on what basis security protocols are developed and if their effectiveness is evaluated if there is this chaos about the infection data. I hope that in the next few hours we can clarify. And I suggest to Miozzo and the Government that they work on this. And perhaps use the data with greater rigor and transparency. The rhetorical interviews and articles on the importance of reopening schools, let’s save them. And especially if they have too many who has a technical role. If today many children are forced to be a father, it is because something is wrong. We all work together to correct those mistakes ”, concludes Orfini.
