PHOTOThe situation in hospitals “is extremely serious and absolutely critical, with the emergency room and departments now jammed and the 118 flooded with calls: with this rate of infections for the second week of November, intensive care will be saturated, while places they are already in great suffering. ” in ordinary and sub-intensive Covid departments. “Carlo Palermo, secretary of the largest of the hospital doctor unions, Anaao-Assomed, emphasizes this to ANSA. The new dpcm, he says, is” a balance between economic and health needs, but can that is not enough. ”
What is outlined through the measures of the new dpcm, Palermo points out, “is almost a blockade in fact, but if there were no concrete results in terms of reducing infections, then a total blockade will be inevitable.” In fact, it is “evident that the pressure on hospitals is becoming unbearable, since – he emphasizes – the possibility of containing the epidemic through local services has practically disappeared”. This is because, says Palermo, “swabs are not enough, home care is almost absent in the medical units of Usca for home care that have organic problems, and with the monitoring system now impossible given the very high contagions” . In this context, he concludes, “the only garrison to which citizens are turning en masse are precisely the hospitals, which, however, are also besieged by patients with small symptoms who would not need hospital treatment or by citizens who need tampons.”
