Filippo Anelli, president of the federation of medical orders (Fnomceo) has not stopped sounding an alarm that has been sounding for several weeks. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, he is once again categorical about the drug Italy needs now to stop the infection. “Immediate closure that lasts a month,” he says.
“If this continues, the national health service cannot do it. Each bed dedicated to Covid is removed to patients with other pathologies, commonly called ordinary. Apart from the ordinary. They have pancreatic tumors, strokes, serious heart disease. Already now there are accumulated delays and thousands of patients will end up in queues ”.
According to the president of doctors, the Italian color division is an ineffective solution:
“Italians have not understood that ending up in the yellow zone, where mitigation measures are less strict than in the orange and red zones, is not the same as being able to do one’s own convenience. The images of crowded old cities and crowded beaches are gruesome. It is proof that the seriousness of the situation in our country has not been understood. The worst is yet to come”.
So the scenario could get much worse, if we do not act immediately “between Christmas and early 2021 the cases of flu will be added to those of Covid and the emergency rooms will be full of people with the same symptoms and the fear of having taken” . the coronavirus. We still have time to avoid all this with a blockade extended to the whole of Italy, which will last for a month. The alternative is for the health service to raise the white flag ”. Thus, “in a couple of weeks we could reach the peak of the second wave and thus the decline would begin with the progressive decongestion of hospitals”.
For Anelli, the alternative in a short time is 30 thousand people in hospital, 5 thousand places occupied in resuscitation and if the trend of the last weeks were to prevail 10 thousand more deaths.
“The Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, called me. He told me that he shares my concern but has confidence in the effects of these measures, ”says the president of the doctors.
