“If the trend is not reversed in the next 15-20 days, it is very likely that much more drastic interventions will be needed. It is more arithmetic than science “but a”The new generalized blockade would be an intervention of desperation and an indication of the failure of other containment actions.“. So Massimo galli, Director of Infectious Diseases at the Sacco Hospital in Milan and professor at the State University, during the broadcast of Agorà on Rai3. “The interventions cannot be postponed for a minute and they started two weeks ago.” And he explained to me: “In March I feared the battle of Milan, but it was avoided thanks to the relative punctuality of the closure. Now we are about to have it, because the infection is rampant. Now in Milan, people are susceptible to infection, the fear that the infection will spread is real and is attested by what we see in hospitals ”(details on tracking infections on tilt here). “If the trend does not reverse in the next 15 to 20 days, much more drastic action is most likely needed. It’s arithmetic more than scienceBut a “new generalized blockade would be an intervention of desperation and an indication of the failure of other containment actions.”
Pregliasco: Milan’s red light district? Possibilities to be evaluated
The virologist of the State University of Milan Fabrizio Pregliasco does not exclude the possibility of declaring Milan a “red zone” to try to stop the new race of Covid-19 infections, defined by many as “an explosive situation”. “The establishment of a red zone should be considered as a last resort – explains the expert -. But if the epidemiological picture worsened further and the curve was not reversed, that would also be a possibility to evaluateAnd in the case it should affect “the entire metropolitan area”. At this time, underlines the doctor, health director of Irccs Galeazzi in Milan and member of the Scientific Technical Committee (Cts) for the coronavirus emergency in the Lombardy Region, “we need to plan a series of restrictions in a rational and coordinated way. Initially in the form of recommendations, “but if they are not sufficient,” in serious situations “the restrictions should be made” more strict or mandatory. “Milan is a battlefield in the fight against the virus, but« not only Milan: there is also other provinces of Lombardy, for example Monza and Brianza, in which an evaluation must be carried out. Interventions must be modulated based on the data, ”Pregliasco explains.
Demicheli, Ats: “The tampon can give a false sense of security”
“The demand continues and the obsession with tampons creates paradoxes: it is an illusion to think of stopping the infection in this phase only by multiplying the number of tests ”, explains the medical director of Ats in Milan Vittorio Demicheli. That, tables in hand, measures the trend of infection in other countries of the world where the virus gallops despite a much higher volume of swabs than in Italy: «In Milan, for example, the capacity to process tests has increased fivefold since the beginning of the epidemic. But the testing policy is just one of the tools – then it happens that you go to parties after the exam and get one. false security, as that exam is a snapshot that lasts a moment. “You certainly don’t get sick from the one in front of or behind in the drive-in queue for the swab, even if, especially in some private labs, lately people are crowding to get tested,” says Demicheli. Speaking of the second wave of the epidemic, De Micheli stressed that “the first thing to remind everyone is that this time it’s not just a Milanese problem. When the epidemic began, it did so in Lombardy, we stopped, then when we resumed activities the infection spread throughout the country -he added-. During the “minimum” moment of this summer, prevention activities were at their maximum power, in August we reached hundreds of thousands of travelers in Italy, in Milan almost 100,000 returned from vacation. The prevention activity was carried out to its full potential, but the activities that were resumed were evidently more important than this attempt at containment».
The “temporary houses” of the positives reopen
Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus infections on the rise, work is underway to reopen the Covid hotels in Milan. But it will no longer be the Michelangelo, 4 stars in Piazza Luigi di Savoia, the “temporary home” of the positives of the metropolis who have no possibility of isolating themselves at home until they become negative. The facility had shut down Covid activity, which began on March 30, 2020, on the key days of the health emergency, in mid-July, after housing 511 people. But it has no longer given its availability and will not reopen for Covid. According to Adnkronos Salute, yesterday a new call was launched by the Metropolitan City of Ats Milan. This is the second attempt, because the first was made in September, but it did not lead to the result. Also because, in a period in which infections were low, hoteliers hoped to be able to resume tourism and there had not been great adhesions. At the moment there is already some idea: there would be two realities that had been anticipated and that could have the requirements of the Covid hotel, they explain from Ats. This is a hotel and structure that is a new RSA that has not started yet. We plan to close with them. Both would have about 70 beds, so in total we would reach about 140. Although we are practically in the pipeline with a structure in Lodi Vecchio, which would make 25 beds available.
