As expected, Calabria ends up locked up. Covid risk only in three other Italian regions It is considered dangerous enough to force the blocking of movements and the closure of almost all activities: PPiedmont, Lombardy and Valle d’Aosta. But while in the North the reason is in the increasingly uncontrolled spread of infection, Calabria ends up under house arrest because it has such a backward, dilapidated and underdeveloped healthcare system that it does not guarantee any capacity to cope with the pandemic emergency, despite the limited numbers that the epidemic has registered in these parts. And then it is useless to point out that from Pollino to the Strait there is one of the lowest incidences of infected compared to the number of inhabitants.
13 years of commissioner
It is useless to remember that, since the start of the pandemic, to date a total of just over 6 thousand positive cases have been registered, with 125 total victims of around 2 million inhabitants.
What is really scary, in Calabria, are not the numbers of the pandemic but those of the accounting books of a health system that has been commissioned for almost 13 years, which has been worse than patronage and speculative politics from which, in theory, she had to protect him.
The only strategy in place until the Coronavirus pandemic fully revealed the hoax was grind a machete to reduce essential expenses and services to try to put order in accounts bombarded by ten years of waste that have opened a hole of 213 million euros in the accounts of Asp and public hospitals, as confirmed just a month ago by the Adduce Table, the interministerial body that supervises the progress of the debt repayment plan.
Except for some health excellence, which make the context even more grotesque, for Calabrians, to indulge themselves for something that was more than an ingrown toenail, all that remains is to go to other regions of Italy, starting with Lombardy, which today shares the fate of the second blockade after March with Calabria.
Intensive care numbers
Pathetic then the Region’s attempt to rewrite the numbers of intensive care, retouching with the favor of the dark, as happened yesterday, the number of available beds. “The beds occupied by patients undergoing non-invasive ventilation should not be counted, but only those that house intubated patients,” they explained, in an extreme attempt to convince. that the Government does not close everything here too. And the statements of the acting president, Nino Spirlì, who defined the Palazzo Chigi decision as “the attempt to turn their back on the Calabrians, who will not even this time kneel, as they never did” are pathetic. Much rhetoric per kilo destined to be absorbed without consequence by the total lack of credibility of a ruling class that instead of finally taking on his own responsibilities and rolling up his sleeves to make up for it, he continues to blame others and more – from cynical and deceitful fate, to the rain of a thieving government – for sins he lacks the courage, strength and the honesty of assuming. And do not say that Spirlì is where he is only because of a tragic case, because now that he is, he is the Region, he is the personification of a failure that never recognizes himself despite the evidence of the crash. .
The few beds
The same thud that echoes in the shame of the hospitals that are not there and when they are they make you run away with their hands that scratch your hair. The dirt of the insufficient beds, of the corridors with peeling and dirty walls where to wait for a trivial outpatient visit for a whole day. The scandal of the millionaire machinery bought and left to age in cellars with cellophane still in sight, the displeasure of thousands of patronage hires. The obscenity of the Asp commissioners for the mafia.
Here, for this Calabria is a red zone, but of shame.
