The indignation of Flor, regional health director: “Too many evade the controls every day, we will denounce them to the Judiciary”
VENEZIA.
The Covid Outlaws. “There are still too many people who flout security regulations, starting with those who, every day, violate home quarantine and are not available for remote controls. There are hundreds and hundreds of people diagnosed positive for the virus and contagious who do not respect fiduciary isolation, indifferent to the tragedy that the community is experiencing ”.
Words like stones those of Luciano Flor, the director of Venetian Health, who stops his usual poise and raises his tone: “They are a bunch of idiots and irresponsible, write it down, like those who walk with their masks down or even with their faces uncovered Appeals to civic sense are no longer enough, we need a strict sanction, so we will proceed to report them to the Judiciary. “
The manager’s indignation is proportional to the magnitude of the phenomenon; Domestic isolation, dictated by the positivity of the test, the return from places considered at risk or close contacts with the sick, involves more than 26 thousand people in the region and their daily telephone surveillance (although facilitated by the adoption of the application Zero Covid Veneto) requires a great effort on the part of the Public Health Service, which nevertheless is powerless in the face of transgressive behavior with unpredictable effects. The circumstance also coincides with an acute phase of the pandemic, witnessed by the increase in infections, hospitalizations and deaths that puts the resistance of the hospital circuit to the test.
“Our staff is affected by a monstrous workload, everyone is gritting their teeth, but there is a limit to the capabilities of the system,” says Paolo Rosi, coordinator of the coronavirus crisis committee appointed by Luca Zaia to oversee the improvement of therapies. intensive. A program in constant evolution: «To date we have about 700 activated resuscitation beds, almost 400 are reserved for Covid patients, 250 for normal patients, about fifty are free. Turnover is quite high because compared to 27-28 daily admissions, the mortality of patients, all in critical conditions, exceeds 40%. We have an additional margin of increase, up to a thousand units, and in this phase, given the pressure on the hospitals, we go to early warning ».
What does this mean? The public health plan illustrated by the governor on October 20 foreshadows five risk bands. The Venetian provinces (with the exception of Rovigo, a happy island or almost) oscillate between orange – up to 400 occupied intensive beds – and red, the scene of maximum alarm.
“To date, the use of beds that can be obtained in the operating rooms of the Covid Hospital is planned, with ordinary care kept in hub hospitals and partial reduction of the radii”, summarizes the doctor; “However, the most extreme dynamics cannot be excluded: in the red alert, hospitalizations would also be used in hubs, with the reconversion of a hospital in each Ulss basin and a general blocking of non-urgent activities. But we are sure that this will not happen.
The hope, poorly concealed, is that the partial closure of the holidays will help reduce the infectious wave, giving a breath of fresh air to the rooms; and that priority vaccination of the most exposed and at risk subjects preserves health workers by reducing the mortality rate among octogenarians. A realistic perspective, although not immediate. –
