ROME – “I believe that next week two vaccines that use the viral RNA methodology will be submitted to the EMA for approval and that we could have the first two serums as a Christmas present.” Hence the president of the Higher Health Council, Franco Locatelli, who has a ‘Che Tempo che fa’ in Rai3. “As of January 15 – announced Locatelli – the first administrations to the most exposed categories will begin”. The two candidate vaccines would be those of Pfizer and Moderna that have reached the final stage.

“We are observing what we can define as flashes of light after a period of deep darkness, but these flashes of light must illuminate consciences and intelligences.” “There is no doubt that the numbers are improving – added Locatelli – just compare from one week to the next to have evidence, for example last Sunday we had 15% positive swabs, the number of admissions to intensive care was 43 and today we are in minus 6. And the number of hospitalizations in the medical area dropped 420 today while last Sunday they rose 216 ”.

A sign of hope, a glimmer, as the list of dead and infected doctors grows. “Deaths and infections among doctors have started to increase again. Our memorial, in the process of updating, has 221 names tonight. We thank Minister Roberto Speranza for his willingness to find, in a short time, concrete solutions to begin to monitor the risks in the territory and to insure all the doctors. “

This was stated by the president of the Federation of Medical Orders, Filippo Anelli. “The other concern that we express to Minister Speranza is the health of citizens,” Anell points out, “because the pressure on hospitals, which fortunately, especially in regions where more restrictive measures have been applied, is decreasing, leads to ‘neglect ‘cure for other pathologies, worsening the outcome indicators “. After the pandemic” I am afraid that, to the victims of Covid we will have to add those of oncological, cardiovascular, trauma and chronic diseases treated with delay “.

In fact, a cautionary warning comes from Minister Speranza. “It will not be a Christmas like all the others, you have to say words of truth – he recalled yesterday – It must be a Christmas of sobriety, we are in a very, very significant epidemic.”
