Tonight Italy, Massimo Galli against Nicola Porro: the live fight breaks out and the journalist leaves the broadcast

Botta and the vitriol response live a Italy tonight between teacher Massimo Galli and Nicola Porro. It happened during the last episode of the broadcast of Network 4: the journalist and the director of the department of infectious diseases of the Sacco hospital in Milan were invited to speak about the‘Coronavirus emergency and the debate degenerated into a veritable dispute, culminating in Porro exit who has decided to leave the link.

“If we continue to have aggregation phenomena, like the ones we have had in the last period, instead of reversing the trend we will have the opposite result,” said Galli. “I have to be very calm, otherwise they will kick me out of Mediaset. 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? Yesterday, Professor Bassetti told me that 94% are weakly positive or asymptomatic, ”insisted Porro.

“It’s a lie, absolutely yes. Bassetti can’t tell him because he can’t know. RE.I should take a tour of my apartment to see how it is, let’s not joke. How many people are in my department? I’m not telling them this because they won’t let me say it, my medical director can tell them, ”Galli relaunched, unleashing the anger of Porro, who abandoned the connection.

“If the tones are these, it is not worth continuing. It’s not worth it and I take off my headphones. Here we are faced with a political stance on a problem that concerns an epidemic. 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 for wanting to continue underestimate the situation to convert the interest and the convenience of an interest, a category or a political position, “the professor commented then. All finished? No way.

Shortly after, during the broadcast, Professor Matteo Bassetti also intervened, questioned by the two litigants. When it comes to insults between academic colleagues I take a step back. I regret that Professor Galli gets angry when he hears the data that the Ministry of Health itself provides every day. From today’s data from the Tuscany region, for example, it appears that 68% of new infections are asymptomatic, ”said the director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa.

we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we do a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer all citizens hundreds of new content for free every day.

That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
