MILAN. «An ordinary Saturday, an Italian Saturday. The worst seems to have passed. Berlusconi’s second day in isolation in the suite on the sixth floor of the Diamante pavilion in San Raffaele can be described with the song of Sergio Caputo. Il Cavaliere responds well to treatment based on antivirals and antibiotics and last night his health was defined as improving, while the vaccine that he sent him with Putin’s good wishes would not be necessary at this stage.
Professor Alberto Zangrillo, who is the only one who accesses the suite two or three times a day in addition to two nurses in two shifts, does not provide too many details about his patient, who does not stay in bed that long, does not yet need oxygen. on the contrary, he calls a lot, continues his physical therapy and seems more comfortable than at first with the soft blue jumpsuit and the light meals from Arcore. “Humor? I’m not a psychiatrist,” he answers those who ask him if Berlusconi has resigned himself to hospitalization.
On what matters most, Zangrillo spends prudent words: “Regular course with a calm patient.” And he points out the need for patience and rest, which, in addition to medications, is the necessary cure for pneumonia: “The full-blown form of viral infection deserves adequate therapy and has its time. We are certainly in a delicate phase, although I reiterate my cautious optimism. The reference is to the challenge of these hours, which is to overcome the greatest risk of Covid, that hypercytokinemia which is an inflammatory reaction to lung infection, potentially fatal for a man of almost 84 years. For this reason, Zangrillo still cannot “sing victory”, even if “the patient is reacting optimally to the treatment.”
If all goes well, the Knight could be discharged before next weekend to continue the treatment from home, but waiting, as the doctor reminds us, “should not be impatient, because when we are faced with the inflammatory reaction by We know that there are times of infection that cannot be overlooked. ”Some concern, despite Marina’s hiatus, still comes from outside, because it is true that Berlusconi makes a lot of phone calls, but prefers affection and company to fights party: from the new girlfriend Marta Fascina to the best wishes of Verónica Lario and Francesca Pascale, to coincide with Mediaset-Vivendi-Tim.
Thus, in Forza Italia, in addition to the nervousness due to the role of Zangrillo, the discomfort of the magic circle excluded from visits grows, with half of the parliamentarians undecided between a new center or Conte’s eventual party and the other half renouncing the leadership of the League. Salvini said yesterday that he was “worried about someone in a hospital bed.” They told me that Berlusconi is improving, so I send him a big hug, as I sent the candidate to Pd in Veneto ».
