The situation is beyond the alert threshold, it is review. The beds of the Covid plan in Cardarelli di Campobasso, the only (for now) Hub in Molise where the virus is fought, They finished. Today the admissions have risen to 62. Of these, seven are in the ICU (until tonight there were 8, then there was one death, one of 4 in the last 24 hours) and 55 in Infectious that is to say, in the “expanded” room where doctors specializing in the treatment of Covid 19 infection work. A room that in recent days has grown to occupy other seats in the room, away from other “common” patients. More or less these: 17 in pediatrics, 9 on the ground floor, 12 in the former Urology and another 16 created in correspondence with the former Department of Otorhinolaryngology.
Now this availability has also ended. Molise, in terms of hospitalizations caused by the ongoing pandemic, goes to scenario 4. With all the questions of the case. Now what will happen? Theoretically there is the Gemini and the Neuromed, the two individuals with whom a general agreement was reached last March on the basis of the Covid plan of the ad acta commissioner. Another 10 beds for seriously ill patients but who do not need intubation and another 7 in Intensive Care.
However, judging by how things are moving, with buffer solutions that are absorbing spaces within the Cardarelli to be allocated to Covid patients, that of individuals does not seem to be a path that the health authorities intend to take. For now. More logical, judging by how Asrem has moved so far, to foresee that Cardarelli too, as has happened in many other Italian hospitals, you must transform into a Covid hospital, dedicated ie in exclusive route to treat the virus that in recent weeks is showing all its aggression.
No one has communicated it yet, but it seems a tremendously credible option, also judging by the letter that Asrem’s leaders have sent to all Molise hospitals in the last hours. “Contagion increases, hospitalizations increase: be prepared”. More or less that is the content of the service announcement that, according to the regional secretary of the PD, Vittorino Facciolla, is proof that politics lies to the population with guarantees of facades, designed to deceive to avoid widespread alarmism and panic .
The voice raised by the administrative and health departments throughout Italy is homogeneous: the critical threshold has been reached and exceeded. Oreste Florenzano and Virginia Scafarto, general and health director, “have issued a note to all the county hospitals where they communicate to be prepared for a further worsening of the pandemic curve and, therefore, to prepare operational roads in all hospital beds for emergency Covid management and, ultimately, it says that the pre-alarm model is activated ”.
It could mean that ordinary patients, that is, patients suffering from other pathologies not related to Covid, will be diverted to the structures of Termoli (the San Timoteo) and Isernia (the Veneziale) to leave the Cardarelli reserved for Covid patients. Or it could mean the creation of three “mixed” hospitals where Covid patients are housed in different spaces, but still under the same roof, of non-Covid patients.
A decision that he hopes to hear shortly, also to verify the real role of individuals and their participation in this difficult phase of emergency for all.
On the other hand, the garrisons of Isernia and Termoli, Veneziale and San Timoteo, are not Covid hospitals, but the high number of patients who have other pathologies, to which the virus overlaps, has inevitably transformed them into gray areas, that is, places to stop waiting for the transfer after the molecular swab result. Never so many hospitalizations, and a number of places, but especially doctors, inadequate compared to the real needs of Molise attacked by Covid.
Vittorino Facciolla asks the truth from politics, he directly questions Donato Toma and Francesco Roberti, governor and mayor of Termoli, respectively, regarding the guarantees that continue to occur.
“Yesterday President Toma with his usual triumphant tone announced that Molise is still a yellow zone and accused us of being catastrophic and alarming for political purposes. The problem is not being catastrophic, but simply reading reality and trying again to collaborate with you, President Toma, so that this emergency does not turn into a disaster for Molise. When in March we talked about the need to transform the hospital Vietri in a single Covid hospital To avoid promiscuous areas, we had already foreseen what is happening in all the hospitals in the Region, we were not catastrophic.
When in summer we highlighted the problem of the 118 ambulances dedicated to transporting Covid patients, which in fact would have suppressed the emergency-urgency system, we were not catastrophic. When we proposed, following the Emilia-Romagna model, to make passing swabs, we were not catastrophists.
In all these months we have simply been attentive to what was happening and to what the many people who in this emergency want answers from the institutions told us.
Answers that you, President Toma, are not giving in any way, answers that are hidden behind the usual chant that everything is fine, that the situation is under control. President, we only ask you one thing: tell the Molisanos the truth ”.
Facciolla urges Toma to tell the population what “Asrem writes in the letters sent to hospitals, that is, that all hospitals are in a pre-alarm state, that the elderly are dying in nursing homes without even being transported to the hospital. because there is no more space. Only by telling the truth, dear President, will you be able to regain some of the trust that the Molisanos are losing in you, in our medical care and, in general, in the institutions “.
Vittorino Facciolla then also responds to Roberti, who clarified his position today at a press conference. “Finally, even in terms of importance, we have to respond to the current mayor of Termoli who today for the first time deigned to speak to his citizens about this emergency. But how did he do it? Without answering the questions he asked him for days about the conglomerates of the city, about the real conditions of the San Timoteo hospital, about the schools, about the places of contagion. No, Mayor Roberti, who as an acquaintance does not shine for political intelligence, he started with a horrible joke basically saying that those who don’t think like him have mental problems. Unlike him, we have respect for people with mental disorders. The mayor then charged everyone including us who asked for information and complained about the amount of work he faces during about an hour of looting.
We well understand that those who cannot run a city in normal times go completely insane during emergencies but dear Mayor, the choice to sit in that chair was yours and now, like it or not, you have the responsibility on your shoulders. of 33 thousand people and, like it or not, you are the first health authority in the city ”.
