“When I entered this intensive care unit – says in an editorial that appeared this morning in The impression, a newspaper he runs, five days ago, we were 16 years old, most of them over sixty. Today we are 54, mostly 50/55 years old. Apart from me, and ten more fortunate ones, all are in very serious condition: sedated, intubated, pronated. We should see, to understand what all this means. But people don’t want to see and often refuse to understand “
“An ordeal”. Massimo Giannini, editor of the newspaper The impression, Today you define your experience in intensive care after contracting Covid (ALL LIVE UPDATES – MAPS AND INFECTIONS). “When I entered this intensive care unit,” he says in an editorial that appeared in the newspaper this morning, “five days ago we were 16 years old, mostly over sixty. Today we have 54, mostly 50/55. Apart from me, and another one. Ten more fortunate, they are all in very serious condition: sedated, intubated, pronated. We must see, to understand what all this means. But people don’t want to see and many times they refuse to understand ”.
“Health workers overwork but with a bitter smile”
“Today ‘I celebrated’ fourteen consecutive days in bed, next to the ungrateful guest who lives inside me – says Giannini -. The last five days I spent in intensive care, connected to the oxygen tubes, the vital parameters sensors, the oximeter, with arterial access to the left arm and venous access to the right ”.
“Then you let the doctors, anesthetists, resuscitators, nurses tell you, who are already starting to work double shifts because they are overloaded, harnessed as we know in overalls, gloves, masks and glasses,” he continues. I don’t know how they do it. But they do, with a bitter smile and eyes: ‘In March they called us heroes, today we no longer queue. They have already forgotten everything … ‘. Here’s the thing: we forget everything. “
“To contain the virus we must renounce freedom quotas”
“I don’t complain, I don’t cry. I just want a bit of seriousness -explains the director-. I would just like to remind everyone that even the rhetoric of ‘we cannot close everything’ collides with the reality principle, if reality says it is contagious they explode. If we want to contain the virus, we must give up quotas of freedom. There is no other solution “.
