Ostracism towards medical personnel

In health facilities, he added, «the process worsens, there are already hospitals that deny assistance and interventions to cardiovascular or oncological patients and at the same time they are not able to take good care of even Covid patients». The look «More worrisome is that medical personnel no longer have the same spirit, because they have been vilified, mistreated. After the first heroic phase, the situation has changed today, there are phenomena of ostracism among medical and health personnel. The consequence is that many are no longer willing to go to the Covid rooms, because they risk them and many have lost their lives.».

In this second phase, in addition, «as in all playoffs, people are more impatient, also because they saw the efforts of March frustrated. This is the result of a series of delays in the preparation plan, launched by Minister Speranza on April 6, but which was carried out in patches, so that in some regions the monitoring is maintained and in others not, in some regions on the ready. Rescue there are scenes of war and in others not. And this is reflected in the behavior of people.». In view of this, he concluded, «we must re-embrace the national spirit and let go of anger, even if it is true that something better could have been done. But now the situation is worse than in the first wave, because we are getting closer to the cold and flu».
