The letter to Conte from the infected family doctor says it all. The apologies are over

That’s enough!

“Dear President Conte, I am a family doctor and, like many other infected, I am admitted to semi-intensive care with bilateral pneumonia. I do not know if I will see my wife and children again … From this bed, I want to tell you that you must get out those who have not been up to the task.“This is the appeal of Domenico Minasola, 59 years old, general practitioner of Padua, to the prime minister Giuseppe Conte, published yesterday by Repubblica. “I am one of the many doctors service victim… I respect the institutions, but I am outraged by the behavior of their committees and commissioners who have been caught off guard in this second wave of pandemic“.

“His collaborators did not understand what family doctors have become Covid Clinics. And as such they had to be protected with procedures and safety instructions that never came. They should have dressed us in jumpsuits and diving suit and not just masks and gowns. Organization was needed by the Ministry of Health and the technical scientific committee, which had to give us precise provisions for individual protection and not just impose new measures on our clients.“.

Frankly, I don’t have much to add about this other public health Caporetto. The apologies are over. Words too. These things I already wrote extensively in February ilfattoquotidiano.it, and at the beginning of March the Sole 24 Mineral: “The trend of the last few days requires a gradual change in the containment strategy: from the isolation of the infected to the protection of the healthy … first of all, doctors and nurses … etc “. Now a good woman, my close link, who was fascinated by Monti, then supported Letta, then Renzi, then Gentiloni, and now she’s in love with Conte, she asks me what I think of the government. What should I answer? Which Salvini and Meloni would be worse? Or as Labor: “Who could have imagined …“? What else has to happen to this poor country?, the eighth industrialized country in the world, before people ask, demand, another qualitative level of politics?
