Hope only wants closures, but with vaccines there is no variant that justifies them
In recent weeks, infections have started to increase again in Europe. First England, which once the reopening started saw an increase in positive cases (reaching 35,000, but with even the record number of 1.1 million tampons), then Spain and the Netherlands. And, in your opinion, if the concern returns in some countries, what does our minister Speranza do, if not go back to feeding fears? The Ministry of Health has issued a circular in which it is argued, on the one hand, rightly, that we must continue to trace the positive cases (which, if we touch a high number of infections, we have seen it is difficult to do) and to sequence the virus . We fully agree on this. But, beware, our minister does not deny himself: he suggests the possibility of imposing new closures in August on the line of Spain and Holland.
It is curious, however, to read what have closed respectively Spain and Holland: Prime Minister Sanchez has imposed the closure of discos and nightclubs at the weekend, with the obligation of vaccination pass for events with more than 500 people. While Prime Minister Rutte has been tougher with restaurants, forcing them to close at midnight, and has closed the discos.
The point is that in Italy, club owners have not been able to work for almost two years now. And the Ministry is now speculating a new wave of closures. But if the discos, a place where distancing is impossible to maintain even the masks, are already closed, and Speranza has never really thought of reopening them, what else do you plan to close? Still a squeeze on bars and restaurants? Curfew again? With vaccinations continuing at a good pace, with what credibility can the government think of closing the Italians back home?
It is to be hoped that Minister Speranza will not succeed in imposing a new curfew or new closures that would harm the mental health and economic conditions of millions of Italians. And, if so, we hope that Prime Minister Draghi and the majority parties have the courage to bring the minister back to reason.
