He says it all at once, but it’s hard to blame him. “Honestly – trust Roberto Speranza – Talking, with six hundred dead a day, about what we do on Christmas Eve seems lunar to me. Today it is fair to take care of how to give a break to our doctors and nurses, it does not seem the time to talk about the Christmas holidays ”. Apart from loosening the prohibitions, planning dinners, organizing trips, taking advantage of any repeal of the curfew. For the Minister of Health, we must “resist, study the curve from now until the end of the month, take into account how we pay the August holidays. A lot of caution is needed until the vaccine. “
It won’t be a normal Christmas, it can’t be. Speranza thinks yes, supports it Dario Franceschini, which represents the Pd in government. “The measures for December will be decided later,” he explained yesterday to some of the other ministers. “But it is better to tell the truth and not feed unrealistic predictions of a magical return to normalcy. It will be a Christmas very different from the others. And the August’s experience is reminding us not to make mistakes. ” It means that it makes no sense to imagine what the epidemic will be like in forty days. But it also means taking for granted that severe containment measures will be implemented between Christmas and New Year, to avoid massive migrations between North and South, or concentrations capable of relaunching contagion. The government’s goal is for it to be a party between a few close friends, even just cohabitants in the Regions under lockdown at that time. With the limit of six in the family, it will almost certainly remain in place. With the safe ban of parties in public places, dinners and parties. With the possible blockade of interregional traffic, currently in force almost everywhere (with the exception of Lazio-Molise and Veneto-Trentino), which will also be proposed again with an ad hoc regulation, in case the Regions return to the area “yellow”. However, those who are absent for work or studies can return to their place of residence.
With your feet on the ground, realism and without exceptions. This is what the alarmed president of the Higher Health Council asks Franco Locatelli, “we cannot think that Christmas is an exception.” It is the line of Francesco Boccia, which yesterday brought together the regional secretaries of the Democratic Party to beg them not to persecute those who want to inflame the squares, and thus avoid controversies with the governors who attack the government, be they majority -like De Luca or Giani- or opposition. “Postpone the start of the curfew on Christmas Eve? Now the priority – says the minister – is to make the country safe on a sanitary level. It is too early to talk about it. It will have to be a prudent and conscientious Christmas. It will depend on the data of the epidemic. but we will be strict “.
Crisanti: “The contagion continues to be high. If we open during the January holidays there will be the third wave “

The problem of the curfew remains. If the current Dpcm were extended, this limit would remain in effect. Giuseppe Conte, however, never liked the measure. He makes it a matter of realism, thinks that it is unlikely that family and friends, even in small numbers, will stop meeting after 10 at night. And yet even the prime minister makes it known that a “free to all” line will never pass, and this is because “We cannot undermine the efforts made.”
Certainly, the prohibition to move after 10 pm in the territories subject to the “red” regime will be maintained, because there it is even forbidden to leave the house. Shopping limits are likely to be set as well: whether to define hours or “capacity” on the busiest streets. Meanwhile, the data speaks. The good news is that yesterday, for the first time, the number of positives dropped compared to the same day of the previous week. And the seven-day increase was also contained, stopping at 9%.
But the situation remains dire, because there are still another 37,255 patients out of 227,695 swabs and 544 deaths in 24 hours. ICU admissions increased by another 76 units. Along with ordinary hospitalizations, they endanger an increasingly saturated system: “Limit thresholds are being reached – warns Silvio Brusaferro (Iss) – but we must consider the activated beds that are being prepared.”
