“There are elements of great concern. Not so much related to the number of hospitalizations in intensive care, yesterday in Lombardy we had 63 hospitalizations in our intensive care units, but what worries us is the advance of hospitalizations “, he told Buongiorno on Sky TG24 Emanuele Catena, director of intensive care at the Sacco Hospital in Milan. “If we imagine projecting this trend in the coming days – he added – and in the coming weeks we will be able to find ourselves from the current few dozen hospitalized patients to hundreds. This situation could potentially become very explosive and alarming. “ Then, he added: “The admissions that we have had in the ICU these days are characterized by a reduction in age group: here at the Sacco we have admitted patients in their fifties and sixties. They are less serious patients than in the first wave. The clinical manifestations are identical but to date mortality is much more contained ”.

Yesterday there were 363, of which 184 in the city of Milan. A a situation that has radically changed in the space of a few weeks. “In my personal opinion Milan risks. Unlike the first wave, where Milan was somehow saved more or less, at this time Milan is certainly at risk, like other areas for example Monza or Varese. Milan must be closely watched, “he said again. Emanuele Catena, director of intensive care at the Sacco Hospital in Milan. “We realize – he explained – that the areas where patients come from are areas of the city, it is also important to monitor the number of hospitalizations in the wards and wards of infectious diseases of subintensive therapy”. “In my opinion, – observed Catena – if there were any very alarming numbers, Hospitals shouldn’t be totally transformed into Covid hospitals. Having the beds available at the Fair is an essential lifeboat and these should be used if necessary ”.

Fontana: “Transport and school ignored, decree rejected”
Pressure builds and worry is felt. the decree launched Monday night by the Government to update the containment measures for the Coronavirus infection does not satisfy Attilio Fontana. The judgment of the president of the Lombardy Region is “negative” because the executive’s decision does not support the wishes expressed by Palazzo Lombardia and other governors in terms of public transport and school. “As I finally read the Decree, I note with regret that fundamental issues such as distance education are not addressed for high school classes and overcrowding of public transport, where the start of schools and public mobility turned out to be two of the aspects that most influenced the increase in the epidemiological curve ”, commented the governor.
Mayor Sala: “No to online lessons”
Regarding the October Dpcm, the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala is more optimistic: “I guess you have to see what happens, nobody knows. Today (yesterday, ed) the mayors of the capitals have analyzed the situation with Fontana. In Covid departments the situation is still under control, but the growth rates, even in Milan, are significant. After a squeeze, it takes 15 days to see the results. “Some governors are demanding the return of online school lessons: “I do not agree, I don’t think it’s correct, “replied Sala, who added with a smile:” From time to time I agree with Minister Azzolina. “
Trotta: “Lightning test to access concerts”
Disappointed Claudio Trotta, founder of Barley Arts, promoter of Bruce Springsteen’s Italian concerts: “Monday’s decree does not consider the characteristics of the locations and the different ways of respecting physical distancing, but it does put numbers on the table. A thousand spectators outdoors and 200 in? Are numbers that they don’t let you survive millions of people who work in culture, music, theater, cinema, dance and they do not allow millions of people to live, who without art and participation are relegated to the role of mere consumers. The concept of survival and not of life prevails ”. For this reason, it decided to present a security protocol together with the Slow Music association: “The protocol indicates in door tests test-flash, the main system to work safely. Some doctors are advising us which test to propose to the government. “
