“I have the impression that what is happening throughout Italy has not been understood, there is an inexplicable underestimation. With this growth rate in hospitalizations and in patients requiring an ICU, the hospital system cannot resist. What Lombardy has done, we will have to do throughout Italy. In other words: with this trend of increasing numbers, apart from the Christmas closure of which Crisanti spoke, we will have to intervene much earlier ». To speak is Alessio D’Amato, the Lazio Region Health Councilor.
Covid, Lombardy asks for a curfew from 11 pm to 5 am Hope is fine. Shopping centers are closed on weekends. Intensive care alarm
THE RISKS
In recent days he has been a supporter of the line of rigor, more or less his position within the regional council of Lazio is similar to that of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, in the government. The minister in recent days had called for more severe measures than those actually inserted in the last Dpcm. Councilor D’Amato has been repeating for a few weeks that you have to have the courage to accept any resignation. For example, he had supported the need (in this case in the same position as President Luca Zaia of Veneto), to resort to distance education, at least for 50 percent of students in rotation, in secondary schools, in order to Reduce the number of children who use public transport every day and who travel packed everywhere.
Just as Speranza was stopped by Giuseppe Conte’s anti-closure line, D’Amato was also held back by Nicola Zingaretti’s desire to stick to the government line and avoid escaping forward. The problem is that the number of infections, both in Lazio and in the rest of Italy, is increasing exponentially. In Rome and in the other four provinces of Lazio there are already 111 patients in intensive care for Covid-19, just a month ago they only had 22. They have increased fivefold. There are 1,130 hospitalized in the other wards, a month ago there were less than half, 445. Of course, Lazio still has a low percentage of positive swabs – around 5 percent, that of other regions is much higher – but this does not mean that the virus is running fast. The emergency rooms are crowded, the sick are increasing day by day.
If Rome looks at the spread of the coronavirus in other European capitals – Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Prague and London especially – it can say that it continues to resist, but what is worrying is the trend. “That’s why – D’Amato repeated last night, after reading the news about Lombardy’s decision to impose a curfew – I say that something must be done. Immediately. But looking at Lombardy, I also see an underlying hypocrisy: the day before there were pushes by the League so that there were not too strict restrictions on the Dpcm, the next day the most important Region governed by the League decided to institute a curfew. There is unexplained schizophrenia. So we are not going anywhere, perhaps the epidemiological situation Italy is facing is not clear. We must stop the exponential increase in infections now, before it is too late. ‘
POSITIVE ON THE BOARD
The region is seeing how much the virus is also spreading in its offices and institutional offices: yesterday at the regional council antigenic swabs were performed on all councilors, before the session. One of them is positive, several Pisana employees had already been previously infected. Let’s face it, I’m tired of this hypocrisy. Here the issues are very serious and there are two: intensive care and hospital beds. If this trend continues higher than the closure at Christmas that Professor Andrea Crisanti spoke about … In my opinion, Lombardy adopts a measure that should be adopted throughout Italy. But there is an underestimation of what is happening, and this is all concerning.
