“Respect the rules for two weeks or everything is closed for Covid” – Corriere.it

Agostino Miozzo, the Scientific Technical Committee that you coordinate, is accused of having covered up the wrong decisions of the government. Do you want to defend?
“I have read everything, especially totally wrong and misleading analyzes by pseudo experts who obviously have the crystal ball and the wand of the magician Merlin proposing magical solutions to extremely complex problems. It seems to me almost legitimate that politicians criticize the indications of the CTS, it is in full right. It is much less legitimate for technicians to say inaccurate and misleading things.

Are you offended?
“Blaming the CTS for a situation resulting from the suffering imposed on the Italian health system in recent decades is not only wrong, but I would say it is dishonest. Where were these last minute emergency management experts, when public hospitals and ICU beds were cut off, when politics penalized the public health system? I don’t remember the voices of these new professional screamers who got up to denounce the cuts.

Are you convinced by the Dpcm?
«It responds to the current situation in the country which is deteriorating very rapidly. Germany has taken the same measures today. ‘

What’s the point of closing restaurants at 6 p.m., closing cinemas and theaters?
“We must guide the behavior of our fellow citizens to strictly respect distancing, to reduce all contacts at risk, to limit all possible opportunities for contagion. It is the gradualness of the behavior that will be implemented as the last attempt to avoid the much more painful decision of general confinement.

Wasn’t it more effective to reduce the capacity of public transport?
Since April 18, we have asked “to implement all measures to reduce peaks in the use of public transport.”

But it was not done.
“It is not enough. The minutes show that we have written it 20 times, promoting a new concept of mobility on several occasions.”

As soon as the Dpcm was signed, the consultant to the Minister of Health, Walter Ricciardi, requested at least a partial closure. Don’t these postures run the risk of fueling confusion?
“I have great respect for Walter Ricciardi, of whom I am friends, but he is an expert in public health, this emergency has taught me that decisions to reach the confinement also include assessments regarding security, the provision of essential services, the economy . I do not have all these assessment tools and I envy colleagues capable of making such complex assessments from the closure of the room where they must assist their patients ”.

Are hospitals collapsing?
“They are under pressure that is difficult to sustain in the long term, especially in the territories that are lagging behind in the organization of paths dedicated to Covid patients. The only way to alleviate it is to involve free choice family doctors and pediatricians by providing them with all the means to operate, protective materials, diagnostic tools. With the recently signed agreement, all citizens will be able to make swabs with their doctor.

Many doctors refuse.
“They must participate, even hosting them in dedicated spaces if their study is not enough. Of course, they must be able to work safely, but their contribution is essential.

Don’t you think that long queues at drive-ins are a shame?
“Yes, of course. Now, however, the Regions are intervening by immediately activating all the resources of the national system. And then we must promote, insist, do everything necessary to have the Immuni application on their mobile phones.”

Obligate?
«If you want to enter the University you must have the application. I know that I am going against the freedom of individuals and constitutional rights, but we must be convinced that the good of the entire community also passes through the reduction, however marginal, of some aspects of our freedoms. With a notification from Immuni, isolation is activated and the chain of contagion is interrupted.

With distance learning at 75%, most children stay home. Wouldn’t closing schools have been more serious?
“I am a 100% supporter of the school. The real value is keeping them open and adapting the system to this need. Miracles have been performed to turn the chronic disaster of the school system into something that is capable of addressing the crisis we are going through. We must defend it if we do not want to find hundreds of thousands of terrified children suffering from shack syndrome.

How soon will we know if the measures work?
“At least two weeks, then we will be prepared to decide if we have reached the limit of incompatibility and we must move to a more radical intervention like the one we painfully experienced in March and April.

And what is the limit for not closing the confinement?
“Only with strict adherence to the rules can the confinement be remembered as a bad experience from the past.”
