“They kick me out of Mediaset”, “I take off my headphones” – Libero Quotidiano

There were no shortage of surprises Italy tonight, the Rete Quattro program led by Barbara palombelli. In last night’s episode, Wednesday, October 7, the studio was a battlefield, which later turned into a dispute, between Nicola Porro me Massimo Galli. “If we continue to have aggregation phenomena, as we have had in the last period, instead of reversing the trend we will have the opposite result,” said the director of the department of infectious diseases at the Sacco hospital.

However, the answer was immediate: “I have to be very calm, otherwise they kick me out of Mediaset – began the director of Fourth Republic -. Professor Galli has no children at school, there are children who have 37.2 or dysentery and have to take a swab and stay home. Families are in dire situations and not everyone has a babysitter. Of the 3,678 positives today, how many are actually sick and not weakly positive? Professor Bassetti told me yesterday that 94 percent are mildly positive or asymptomatic. “

Finished? Not at all: “It’s a lie – Galli thundered – absolutely yes.” Bassetti “can’t tell him because he can’t tell. You should take a tour of my department to see how you’re doing, let’s not joke. How many people are in my department? I’m not telling you because I can’t tell, my medical director can tell you” . And again: “If these are the tones, it is not worth continuing. It is not worth it. I take off my headphones. Here we are faced with a stance of type political for a problem related toepidemic. I think I have an unbearable media overexposure, I do it with great pleasure without discussing this type of attack. However someone will have to take responsibility wanting to continue underestimating the situation to make interest and convenience an interest, a category or a political position ”.

To intervene in the television duel about the coronavirus also Matteo bassetti leading his thought to the editorial team: “When it comes to insults between academic colleagues, I take a step back. I regret that Professor Galli you agree to listen to the data that the Ministry of Health itself provides every day. From today’s data from the Tuscany region, for example, it is clear that 68 percent of new infections are asymptomatic. ”
