Italy will enter emergency shutdown like France, it only remains to know when. This is the idea of the infectious disease specialist at the Sacco hospital in Milan, Massimo galli, who, speaking at Agorà en Rai 3, took stock of the health situation in our country. “On the one hand, the curve »that marks the trend of COVID-19 in Italy “it is increasing according to forecasts. On the other probably, but I have to verify it, perhaps beyond expectations. And this is extremely alarming. And the situation of the hospitals is also there to see”.

“Emergency closure? We will do like France”
How is the “rapid deterioration scenario 3”, cited by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, concretely configured? “It means that there is hope that the measures already adopted, which are also much discussed and fought both by the political side and by the public opinion, run the risk of not stopping this phenomenon at least in an acceptable way.” Covid-19 infections and increased hospitalizations.
“It practically means that the entire health system is already involved to the point of having difficulties responding to any other need of citizens from the point of view of health. And this is the aspect that I find one of the most distressing and worrisome. And it means that we are probably moving towards a solution close to that of France. Let us remember that we have them exactly ahead of us, even a little bit ».
The expert cites France, which has announced a national shutdown since Friday, but schools will remain open. And he points out that for Italy it is a matter of understanding “when will we get to the French situation, not if we will.” “For me – he clarifies – the idea of a new total blockade is quite disturbing for all that it means. I really hope you can fire up enough to be able to limit the damage and be able to get out of it without actually getting to this. But I’m afraid we are very close, especially in certain areas of the country.
“We have turned everything into the Covid department”
«Authorized by the health management, I simply say that last night» at the Sacco hospital in Milan «we had 19 intubated patients, 47 people on CPAP out of 300 hospitalized, and we had already filled out everything that we had opened. The hospital has activated more than 300 beds for Covid hospitalization to date. We have already converted everything and more. Orthopedics is no longer an orthopedic, but a department of Covid to understand us.
“We have already converted everything that could be converted, into 30 beds a day, to reach the current situation and it is probably not enough”, warns the chief doctor who attacks journalistic narratives in his opinion that are not truthful: “Someone who is a candidate for The Pulitzer Prize Winner finds a hospital emergency room empty and doesn’t even ask if it was closed by any chance due to excess patient arrivals. But this happens in the beautiful country. “
«I mean – specifies Galli – my hospital. The situation is very difficult. Also to support the efforts of all collaborators, I say that we are holding firm and also a lot. But you can’t pull the rope so much, because you run the risk of breaking. And yet, he repeats, “certain journalists, to underline in a diminutive sense the realities for interests that I make clear for those who want to interpret them to interpret, also misinformation about the true reality of things.”
