Draghi still struggling with Arcuri and Speranza, while outside the EU there is a race with vaccinations
Dear President Draghi, “your dignity will appear here” .
After a year of fragile political government, born in an anti-Salvini key and with a narrow parliamentary majority, now a change of gear is expected. Of course, the birth of a national unity executive presupposes the art of compromise, the courage to throw one's heart over the obstacle, but it is difficult to believe that one can change gear and strategy without replacing the strategist.
The confirmations of Roberto Speranza and – at least until today – of Domenico Arcuri are the prime example.
Their failures have been under everyone's eyes for months: delays on masks, respirators, intensive care, calls for hiring doctors and nurses (open in October), on a vaccination plan still far from reaching the ambitious promised figure from Hope of 13 million vaccinated by March. Yet, despite their marked propensity for failure, we still find them in their place, with the usual closure mentality already practiced, under the Draghi government already in office, extending the stop of the ski slopes.
However, a first sign seems to arrive. In fact, there is a reversal of course on the coordination of vaccination phases: Regions, doctors and local health authorities will only have to follow the procedures of the Civil Protection.
Arcuri, therefore, would be downsized in its functions, but – we reiterate it – you cannot change strategy without replacing the strategist and the name of Guido Bertolaso, now consultant for the emergency in Lombardy, cannot be excluded lightly.
Meanwhile, other nations of the developed world are running.
In Israel, for example, nearly 80 percent of the vaccinated population is close to being, with a positive rate collapsing by over 94 percent. In the United States, 50 million doses administered were exceeded a few days ago, with 37 million people receiving at least one.
In the UK, more than 15 million are vaccinated. Already a quarter of the London population is immune and Boris Johnson is preparing for the reopening of the whole country at Easter. By spring it will also be the turn of the over 50s, which will mean having sheltered about 95 percent of the categories most at risk. From spring onwards we will proceed with all the remaining categories under 50 with previous pathologies, finally concluding with the younger population groups.
All this, just think a bit, without the installation of any "primrose".
