Professor Claudio Mastroianni, professor of infectious diseases in Sapienza and director of Umberto I’s Uoc of infectious diseases, is the day of his resignation.
Yes, there have also been many of us. This month has yielded results, they are in full view, without the established precautions, we would not have achieved a reduction in deaths, admissions in the ICU and access to the emergency room. With no effective therapy or, unfortunately, a vaccine, the only available therapy was quarantine and isolation. “
But we are on the eve of a relaxation of the measures.
«The most important thing is social distancing, it is clear that we have to wear masks in crowded and closed places, wash our hands frequently. The virus does not disappear, in May it will continue to circulate, in some more areas, it will be important to prevent and limit outbreaks, even within the family itself, since you go out and come into contact with potentially infected or infected people. Because there is a significant proportion of asymptomatic people who do not know they have the virus. “
It’s an important part?
“Otherwise, the virus would not have spread like this. The number of infected people will be 7/10 times higher than we know. For this reason, the utility of the application is clear, which by itself will not be decisive, but rather a tool to support the principle of distancing. We will have to measure well the next 15, 20 days, which is why the ministry is asking the regions for close reports to limit the virus. Serological tests will tell us how much it has spread and who has passed it and developed antibodies. There may be partial immunity. “
So is it good to try?
“No to DIY initiatives, both testing and tampons, they only create anxiety and frustration. It is better to be careful, history teaches us, we must not rule out another wave. What will happen in the second half of May will be important, calculating two weeks of incubation from May 4: already after 15/20 of the month we will have an idea of how we are behaving and how the epidemic is going on a national scale. This time we are more prepared, we must intervene earlier, we know who we are dealing with.
Don’t young people worry about going out?
“I am very confident, they understood the importance of the moment, it is probable that they will be offered higher education. I hope awareness, they will continue to adopt preventive measures, in addition there is the possibility of leaving with prudence and proper behavior, each of us must make his Contribution They have become accustomed to this phase of closure, in the future they may be ready to respond. Now we have to educate them and see what happens this month. A step-by-step approach is extremely important, the other countries are also following our indications on restrictions, including Germany. “
And the elders’ compound, isn’t it difficult?
“They are the most fragile, this means that a grandson has to be even more careful when he leaves. Because it can cause great damage. Greater precautions must be taken against them, this does not mean abandoning them, but visiting them with due precautions ». Have you already noticed incorrect behavior? “The mask. You put it on or not, under the chin it doesn’t make sense. Invitation to use it also has a positive deterrent effect. It reminds us that the virus is circulating, it is a way of reminding us that we must pay close attention ».
