In lombardy in hospitals “the situation is not comparable, for now, to what was experienced in March. We had 12 thousand Beds (employee, ed) in pulmonology, today we have 2,300, 1,800 beds in intensive therapy, today we are at 231. But the curve is growing and it is evident that any action we take today we will see the results in 15 days“. This was explained by the regional councilor for Welfare Giulio Gallera, in relation to Mattino 5.

«We are preparing – explained Gallera – so that these numbers will continue to grow significantly over the next 15 days, which is why we suspended postponable and non-urgent activities in the territorial centers, leaving instead in the Hubs both the treatment of the most complex Covid patients as well as time-dependent and oncological diseases. We are keeping outpatient activities open for now, so we are still in a phase where we are dealing with Covid but we are trying to keep the rest of healthcare open as well. “

his gyms and pools Gallera said: “I think maybe they haven’t been closed. In these months you have to reserve to go to the gym, the number of people is very limited, the assistants clean and disinfect the tools after use. We are in a complicated situation, the government has made decisions that are not easy, they could have been selected perhaps better but now it is two or three weeks and we hope to be more balanced.

“This virus – explained the commissioner – can only be fought with spacingThere is no other tool, we do not have a vaccine and there are no preventive treatments that are good for everyone. The strategy is to try to live with the virus, then modify some of our behaviors, on the other hand, however, let a part of the economy and activities that have learned to adopt rules that avoid contact, and therefore the spread of the virus. viruses can continue to develop. ‘

For Gallera «it is clear that the whole issue related to sociability will have to be reduced and for this we will have to start them not episodic but structural measures: Bars, restaurants, entertainment activities should be supported, until a vaccine is found, in a structural way. Other activities – gyms, swimming pools, theaters, cinemas – in this period have implemented very strict measures that avoid contact between people, so I think we must be much more selective and structured in support.

The new Dpcm will be sufficient for save christmas? “This is the goal we set ourselves, first with our ordinances and now with the government. Certainly rigid measures that have the objective of go down a curve that rises exponentially. As the virus spreads with mathematical development, either we implement strong measures that prevent its spread or that line continues to be straightened and health systems are no longer maintained. ”

In recent months “we, as Lombardy, have done a lot,” added Gallera, “our ability to track and execute the virus today is huge and impressive. The average amount of tampons we make is 30 thousand (per day, ed), we isolate people, but obviously all this is not enough, because the number of asymptomatic patients is particularly large, a part has been identified and there is no health system in the world that is only able to endure.
