From “everything will be fine” to “everything will be like last year”: the risk is becoming more and more concrete. the Scientific-technical committee wants the total lock. Yes: again, despite the negatives of the facade. Governments change, but the brains calling for shutdowns are the same. The alternative to the lockout, the only commitment that the CTS would accept -this is the summary of yet another internal confrontation- would be the automatic red zone when a territory exceeds the threshold of 250 infections per 100,000 inhabitants: the presidents of the Region, in this case, they should simply implement the core directives without discretion. The first impulse for the new confinement is Walter Ricciardi, consultant of Roberto Speranza, the Minister -by chance- of Health who months ago had published his tragicomic book “Why are we going to cure” and that almost 100,000 deaths later, yesterday, came out with great news such as that “the virus is still present among us”, that “The variants make it even more complex”, but “nevertheless we have new tools” because “science has made great strides and allows us to have a new key against Covid”.
If he lost his key, the Minister of Potenza, that of his office, science in Italy would certainly be even faster. Ah yes, yesterday Speranza also said that “we will win this battle”, that “the main weapon is the vaccine”, “we need a lot of prudence” and “we must not lower our guard”. Then there is Gianni Rezza, director of the Higher Institute of Health, for whom “more containment interventions are needed”, because “RT is going uphill”, “infections are up”, the only thing that does not rise is the number of vaccinated. The CTS that until recently fought to keep the school open is the same one that now urges the executive to seal the classrooms. And if face-to-face teaching is closed, the members of the Committee pointed out, everything else must also close: bars, restaurants, shops and shopping centers, places where young people and everyone else – they stressed – would continue to meet. . And the microbiologist Andrea Crisanti, who although not part of the CTS for a month and a half declared that we will probably see the beaches with binoculars? The commission, yesterday, issued a note in which it said that “there is great concern about the evolution of the pandemic”, that it is necessary “to lift measures throughout the national territory in order to quickly obtain a mitigation of the epidemic phenomenon. “. regardless of incidence values. “The CTS, which will now also include a representative from Basilicata, wants the” reduction of physical interactions and mobility. “The experts also call for a” timely conclusion “of the review of the monitoring parameters. Then, we said, a footnote to state that “no lockdown has been suggested”: even if it were true, the population would still go back to forced house arrest. We already see the lonely runners on the coast being pursued by the police, mortified by the task.The direction is that of the karaoke on the balcony, only this time there is the danger that instead of using the pots as percussion, many will start throwing them out on the street.
Viminale Circular – In the late afternoon here is another note, this time from the Ministry of the Interior, which summarizes (we tried to make it legible) the circular sent to the prefects: “Also after the recent gatherings that took place in some large capitals in the imminence of Moving to an area characterized by more restrictive measures, targeted control services will be planned, with the help of local police forces, in urban areas usually affected by the phenomenon of “nightlife”, even on public holidays and the eve of public holidays ». “The prefects,” explained the Chief of Staff, Bruno Frattasi, must “take all the necessary initiatives for a timely control activity aimed at ensuring compliance with the measures in question, taking into account the need to effectively face the dreaded risks of resurgence of infections, linked in particular to the spread of variants “. In short: relentless fighting returns to the spritz people. Meanwhile, we are without vaccines and the pressure on hospitals is mounting. How did Conte say? “Close today to save Christmas”?
