Genoa. The concept has been repeated at all levels and over and over again. We must be cautious and show that we have a high sense of civics. “Because if we are close contacts of a positive, even if we are waiting for a swab, we must avoid leaving home in every way,” says the president of the Ligurian Medical Association, Alessandro Bonsignore. “One wonders how it is possible that the virus has reached such high levels of circulation. – happens – exactly like that, going to work, to the supermarket and on the bus just because we feel goodeven if we know we are potentially positive. “
It is clear that such a simple concept, in this fall of pandemic emergency, also has some connotation covid fatigue -as the now tired attitude of citizens towards the situation is defined- has not been assimilated. But it is also clear that, at these points, with the contagion curve now growing almost exponentially with each passing day, the “responsibility” of the individual cannot be enough. We need new countermeasures and they must be meaningful.
Yes but what? Curfew? Dad? Smart work? Exit restrictions that exclude workers and students? “The answer that a doctor of science and conscience can give you, and I also say it in the order that I represent – says Bonsignore – is that A limitation similar to that of a real lock would be needed, it is useless to go around itOn the other hand, there is a world that is that of the economy and commerce that has repeatedly revealed the concept that a new generalized closure would be fatal, the point is that With the numbers we face, compromise solutions are no longer possible, the rulers need a very honest election., very clear”.
The numbers see, for example, in Genoa between 500 and 700 cases per day. “Figures that tell us the tracking system is now completely gone – says Bonsignore – it is good to continue and advance as much as possible with the swabs, but to be effective, the follow-up requires that for each positive at least 10 close contacts are tested, 7000 swabs a day should be done in Genoa alone and today this is unthinkable for the organizational machine that we have at our disposal. “
In the next few days, with the quick swabs antigenic, with the new Asl 3 clinics and with the same collaboration of general practitioners the level of follow-up will increase even more, but the impression is that now it is too late to have positive effects as happened in La Spezia. And also the measures taken at the national level with the dpcm and at the local level with the ordinances – currently limited measures – run the risk of having reaction times that are too slow with respect to the pressure on hospitals, emergency rooms, medium intensity and early beds if it continues like this , in intensive care.
“One thing is certain, beyond the curfew – says the president of the Ligurian Medical Association – stricter measures such as schools, work, travel, closures must be taken centrally, by the government.”
In these hours the prefecture has transmitted, in agreement with the Region, the data relative to the curve in Liguria and especially in Genoa. “It is not ruled out that more restrictive measures arrive”, Bonsignore speculates. As in fact Governor Covid himself has already made it clear in last night’s press point.
