VERONA – The refrigerated containers for bodies in front of the hospital di Legnago triggered the case of Verona, anomalous in the number of infections compared to the rest of Veneto. It appeared two days ago, in a tunnel between two wings of the Mater Salutis hospital in Legnago, intended to store the bodies of the dead for Covid. The mortuary cells of what, after the two hospitals in Verona, is the only acute care center in the province of Scaligera, to which a territory that goes from Lower Veronese to Polesine and Lower Padovano refers, are overcrowded and it is not known where. Lay out the corpses. As had happened a few days ago also in the Montebelluna hospital (TV) where, however, he has not yet had to resort to refrigerated containers. A situation that testifies to a hospital in Legnago on the verge of exhaustion, with the emergency room now unmanageable, with beds for Covid patients that have reached 207% of those provided by Ulss 9 and the Region (given Daily Health) and where Between Friday and Sunday night, even the soldiers of the Third Wing of the Air Force based in Villafranca installed a field hospital to try to give oxygen to the emergency room. And above all, it opens a case on the situation in Verona where the bulletins confirm it as the first Venetian province in terms of number of infections.
RECORD
Yesterday at 8 in the morning there were 495 new cases compared to 5 in the afternoon the day before, with 6 deaths and a total of 18,961 people currently located throughout the province. But above all with hospitals that can no longer bear it: 2,945 hospitalized for Covid of which 372 in intensive care. With a real emergency in the Legnago hospital, where the occupation of the beds for Covid patients has reached 207% of those planned; from 56 to more than 150. An alarm about Verona that had also occurred in March, with the first wave: but later it was explained by the proximity to Lombardy, Brescia and Bergamo. Today it is not understood. «You can’t go on like this, with the dead we no longer know where to put, with the stick at the end. Also yesterday I received news of 4 other infected Legnago ER operators. We are more than 35 cases among the staff of this structure, including 10 doctors – says Sonia Todesco, secretary of the health sector of CGIL Veronese -. So much so that like the unions of Verona, CGIL, CISL and UIL, we are preparing a letter to send tomorrow (today for the reader, Ed) to the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, to ask that Verona be put in the red zone and apply. the measure of confinement because otherwise the hospitals would collapse. “At this moment we have reached saturation, all intensive therapies are full of intubated patients – confirmed in the Legnago emergency room, the primary Francesco Pratticò and the doctor Francesco Raineri -. We had to fold the beds inventing spaces even where there were none, only the cabinets are missing. Doctors work monthly shifts from 13 to 15, 12 hours each. Keep in mind that to work in optimal conditions of concentration and rest we must not exceed 12 shifts. The same weeks of fire also for the nurses. The patients arrive all the time, with ambulances leaving and returning loaded, all together, without stopping.
AND TOURS
«And if a colleague gets sick we have to take turns, but what alternatives are there? We pay for the chronic shortage of doctors and the lack of state planning of the university, the two doctors accuse. To manage a patient with Covid, continuous monitoring is needed. «Verona for data on infections has an Rt of 1.49 and should be declared a red zone. This is the truth, also because they have hospitals where First Aid and Intensive Care, for example in Legnago, are used to 200% of their potential -concludes Todesco-. And it is shameful that even today Zaia goes by videoconference to say that she would have already closed if there were refreshments for merchants. We are joking Are there people dying and we think about the economy? Public health must come first, and whoever governs this must know it. “
