The confirmation comes on March 19, the day after a caravan of seventy army trucks crossed Bergamo to take the bodies to be cremated. “There are several elements to perform the test, explains a Republic General Paul Friedrichs – The first are the tampons which are used to collect samples from people, then there is the liquid to develop them. This is what we brought from Italy “. Three days earlier, a US National Guard C-17 emergency freighter landed at the Memphis airport and took off from the US base in Aviano. There were no people on board but “Half a million swabs for the detection of Covid-19 produced by a company from Brescia”, Copan Italia Spa. “At that time in Italy there was a serious shortage of tampons and reagents of vital importance to curb the epidemic and save the lives of infected people”, denounces the lawyer Giancarlo Cipolla that on behalf of Giovanna Muscetti, Milanese manager, is now trying to clearly see the delays and omissions in the fight against coronavirus.
The shortage of buffers and reagents
On November 5 the general power de Brescia advanced the investigation raised by Cipolla, which in previous months, however, had already been closed by the judges of Cremona. The March 16 flight is also in the crosshairs. “The export of so many tampons – denounces the lawyer – was also possible thanks to the fact that for this type of product there was no export restriction as was the case of other products necessary for the prevention and treatment of Covid-19”. However, it must be said immediately that in those weeks Copan had already distributed more than a million sampling kits in Italy. And if the tests performed were less, explained Lorenzo Fumagalli, head of the legal office of the Brescia-based company, it was because “the provisions” They were “in quantities that exceed the capacity to carry out examinations in Italian laboratories”. Since the beginning of the emergency, the extraordinary commissioner Domenico Arcuri He faces a considerable problem: in early May he managed to collect 4 million buffers, but not the reagents. “It is clear that 4 million swabs, without reagents, do not solve the country’s needs – points out Cipolla – and, in any case, if there were ever enough reagents in Italy, 4 million swabs would be used to analyze only 7% of the population “. And this without taking into account that, at that time, each patient was given three swabs, one to verify the infection and two successive to verify the cure.
Lack of government intervention
On May 11, almost four months after the outbreak of the epidemic in Italy, Arcuri decides to launch a tender to buy reagents. “In this emergency situation – reports Cipolla – it seems incomprehensible that no one has made use of the right to exercise the legitimate power to requisition all the reagents available in the national market”. But it’s too late. Those who, like the Veneto region, did it alone, managed to get out of there on their feet. “From the beginning we made the decision not to depend on the suppliers, but to manufacture most of the reagents ourselves …”, admitted Professor Andrea Crisanti, father of the miracle of Vo ‘Euganeo. Everyone else got into trouble and the whole system literally collapsed. Therefore, one wonders: why when on January 31 the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte deliberates the state of emergency, does not present the concrete measures to be implemented to counteract the emergency? Why, as revealed in the Coronavirus Black Book (click here), still in early April the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza invites you to limit yourself to rubbing only those who present a “acute or severe respiratory infection requiring hospitalization”? Why wait until May 11 to decide to invest in buffers and reagents and thus start tracking the population in a more “massive” way?
The consequences on the sick
Cipolla then asks to determine if “The non-execution of the tampon and, therefore, the lack of timely verification of the disease and the delays in the provision of treatment are the causes” of many deceased of the coronavirus. In support of his thesis, the lawyer contributed the opinions of several doctors according to which a feverish state that is not treated properly for about ten days exposes the patient to the formation of thrombi. “People go to resuscitation for generalized venous thromboembolism, especially pulmonary”explains Professor Sandro Giannini from the Rizzoli Clinic in Bologna. “Resuscitation and intubation are useless because first of all it is necessary to dissolve, in fact prevent these thromboembolisms – he continues – if a lung is ventilated where blood does not reach, it is not necessary”. The problem, in fact, is not respiratory but cardiovascular. “Their microthrombosis venous, not pneumonia to determine death “. Evidence that became such only when autopsies on Covid victims were performed late and against current regulations. In fact, on April 1 the Ministry of Health had prohibited them with a circular that even prevented them from performing oropharyngeal swabs to confirm the causes of death.
The Brescia investigation
If the magistrates of Cremona have not recognized “criminally relevant conduct”, declassifying the provisions of Conte & Co. to “political choices dictated by the emergency situation” Thus “not suitable to constitute a crime”, the magistrates of the Brescia prosecutor’s office not only want to deepen but are already speculating “certain crimes”. Goes fromguilty epidemic homicide and injuries due to negligence, even abuse of office and omission of official acts. “The complaints in question constitute a ‘criminal report’ – read the summons signed on November 5 by Attorney General Guido Rispoli and alternate Rita Anna Emilia Caccamo – and are not limited to proposing an undefined criminal hypothesis”.. Now, being the acts and provisions of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health, the file will be forwarded to court of ministers. And we will soon know whether or not the judiciary will be able to bring Conte and Speranza to court.
