He had a clear conscience and a negative swab in his hand.

Your summer probably took this left turn in Sardinia.
«I was on vacation in the bay of Porto Istana, between San Teodoro and Porto Rotondo, with a group of friends. How many? Not ten, at least 75, it is a small bay, we come from all over Italy, a kind of meeting, a good 15 percent is positive.
And what did you do in those days of August?
«The classic life that any boy of my age leads, I went to the famous Porto Rotondo clubs and there was no prevention. All very special nights. Thinking about it, all of us who were in the country the night of the 9th, including myself, are positive ».
Then he left for the north.
«On August 17 I flew from Olbia to Venice. I had no symptoms, I spent a night on a Venetian island at a friend’s house and since I couldn’t wait to hug my grandmother, who is in Cortina, I asked this friend’s mother to make a referral for me. So on the 18th I did a swab, the classic not fast, at the Padua hospital, I wanted to make sure that I was not asymptomatic ».
Meanwhile, he went to Cortina.
Yes, but the night before the test result I passed it on to my friends. Then when they warned me that it was negative, it was 19, I thought: “how nice, now that the holidays are starting, I can go hug and kiss my grandmother”. I spent the days between trips and stops in bars. On the 20th I participated in the Cortina Summer Party, where I must say that all precautions had been taken, but of course if I had known that I was sure I would not have shaken hands with anyone, I would not have gone there ».
The young half Roman and half Ampezzo who studied and lived in Zurich and has now returned to work in the capital cannot rest.
“Instead, after two days I started to have a fever, a dear friend of mine who was with me in Sardinia warned me that it was positive. So I picked up the phone, called the toll-free number of the Asl, Belluno hospital explaining that I had been in contact with a positive, who was returning from Sardinia, had a high fever and a cough and lived with my grandmother, aunt, a cousin and my father. “.
What else was needed?
“Instead a bureaucratic procedure was started, I had to send emails explaining everything, even my Roman friend had to do it, between non-existent numbers arrived by mail and answers after 24 hours of silence. I wasted time at home with pneumonia, when asked if I needed a general practitioner certification, I called my friend’s mother, who gave me an urgent referral. The next day, as soon as I woke up, my father accompanied me to do the swab, it was positive, they hospitalized me: I am stable but not serious, an asymptomatic covid patient with pneumococcal pneumonia ”.
And a question that he immediately asked the doctors …
“Why did they tell me it was only negative? They replied that there is an incubation period that can last around 14 days. Well, surely if I had known, I would not have gone to Grandma’s house. It is vital information, people do not know it, in Veneto they do not give vital information: do not write negative until 14 days have passed since the last contact. I would have prevented two days of pneumonia at home by risking the entire list of hundreds of people I have been in contact with. Careful checks must be carried out at the Cortina Summer Festival. ‘ She was going “home”, she met everyone and it was a false negative. Now he is angry, worried, for many, as well as positive for Covid.
