Contagions go up again but London does not bow to the “Draghi model” and the mainstream press is raging
For the moment, from the Johnson government only calls for caution and the third dose, no restrictions and Green Pass. An affront to the "Draghi fan club", which enjoys more discrediting London than Beijing
In the press conference on Wednesday, the British health minister, Sajid Javid, dispensed good advice but confirmed one thing: at the moment the UK has no plans to adopt plan B in the fight against Covid . Yesterday the positive cases exceeded 52 thousand – against 115 victims – and even the premier, Boris Johnson, invited all the most fragile to do the so-called "booster jab" , the third dose of vaccine, to try to limit hospitalizations and deaths. Many in the British medical-scientific community are advocating new restrictions: for the moment, however, both Chris Whitty and the health department have called for prudence in socializing indoors, to rely on vaccines and have claimed to have bought two new ones. anti- virals to deal with Covid this fall and next winter.
For the moment, the Tory government believes it has the situation under control. Naturally, the resurgence of infections sent London back to the index in the entire European mainstream press. Almost as if there was a certain pleasure in seeing the return to pre- Covid freedom of the Freedom Day of last July 21 vanish in the presence of the new infections. On the other hand, it should be noted that other European countries – and moreover members of the European Union – have recently eliminated all restrictions: this is the case of Portugal and Denmark, which however do not enter the news with the constancy of the Perfidious Albion. And patience if we point out that the country that first of all has reached a high number of vaccinated is the one with the highest number of cases – thus undermining the storytelling on vaccines, the only antidote to the lockdown : Johnson is guilty of a series of crimes. First of all, by now we know, Brexit . Then, having adopted policies antithetical to those of the Draghi government regarding Covid : no more restrictions, no Green Pass to work, no limited capacity in stadiums and sports halls. And we know that the crime of "injured dragon" at this moment is worse than the auxoricide in Italy.
We don't even believe that Draghi is so fond of his fan club, which causes him more problems than anything else. It is difficult to imagine the former governor of the ECB going into raptures in the morning reading the newspapers of the CorRepStamp triad as he sips his cappuccino and reads the news of his beloved Rome. But so be it.
What we want to point out, however, is how even Draghi himself indicated the success of his policies in opposition to those of London on Wednesday in the courtroom. Perhaps a vitriolic joke for Johnson deserting the virtual G20 over Afghanistan and sending the new Foreign Office owner, Liz Truss, in his place? The Prime Minister never fails to mention the United Kingdom in all international policy initiatives, and in particular in the fight against climate change. Brexit Britain will host Cop26 in Glasgow in November and Italy will be a co-partner of the event. But he also knows that in our intelligentsia (sic) a mockery in London and Johnson is worth more than a slap in the face of China. Splendors and, above all, miseries of our local beaux mondes .
