Towards militarization for the Dpcm: a strategy of tension and a machine of restrictions already in full swing

Not even the onset of winter was expected. The last umbrellas have just closed, in many parts of Italy it is still hot but the whirlwind of new restrictions on our personal freedoms has already started. With the alibi of the increase in infections, taken for granted since many more tampons are made since the schools have reopened, the use of the mask outdoors is required, the prohibition of gatherings (who determines when it is gathering?) and we return to hypothesize the presence of the army in the streets. According to Dpcm, that is, with an administrative act, not a law, the army would be sent to enforce the anti- Covid measures … Can you imagine what will happen when the real influences begin?

In this scenario, a few days ago, I was struck by the news, reported by all national news, of the Legambiente report on pollution. What does Legambiente say, among other things, without anyone denying it? That in Italy, listen, listen, last year 60,000 people died from diseases caused by pollution. Sixty thousand, which is almost double the 36 thousand officially dead from coronavirus . So I ask myself, a State that loves us so well, that cares so much about our health that it puts us under house arrest and imposes the closure and ruin of many economic activities, because in the face of the news of killer pollution it does not do the same ? Illnesses caused by air pollution are caught simply by walking around, breathing the air and working in unhealthy places. Why then, to save these 60,000 Italians, do we not block the circulation of cars, do not close the industries and do not force at least all those citizens who live in particularly polluted areas home? Maybe there are diseases of series A and others of series B, perhaps some are more functional to the taking of full powers and others not?

Another official figure communicated by all public televisions in May 2019, through a report by OsservaSalute : every year (mind you every year and not only when there is an exceptional pandemic) about 49 thousand Italians die from infectious diseases contracted in the hospitals. So it is clear that those who go to the hospital are seriously at risk of dying because there they are infected with bacteria and viruses of various kinds. But in the face of news of this kind, a government that does not sleep at night to study the measures that do not make even an Italian Covid sick , why does it not take action by radically changing the life and management of hospitals? Why does the news that infectious diseases caught in our hospitals kill far more than the coronavirus does not cause a rain of Dpcm aimed at saving us? Why is there not a distressing bulletin of daily counting of these Italians who fall ill from these causes, so as to increase the anxiety and fear of the population? And again, the 109,000 deaths a year from hospital pollution and infectious diseases, why don't they clog the wards and intensive care? Do they all die suddenly without a course and an aggravation of health conditions first?

In this regard, today's statements by De Luca, the president of Campania with the flamethrower, are useful. De Luca complains because he claims that the wards of Campania hospitals are on the verge of collapse due to the many asymptomatic coronavirus patients, and precisely for this reason the overwhelmed sheriff De Luca proposes the "Covid Resort" . The ineffable governor explains: "It is not a question of 5-star hotels but buildings with 200 rooms that we will totally employ to welcome asymptomatic patients who, instead of staying in hospitals occupying hundreds of places as they do now, can stay there to spend these two weeks of isolation ". Are you beginning to understand why someone is talking about health dictatorship? First the hospitals are clogged up, in a demented way, by healthy people or with small symptoms and then they shout at the emergency and it is proposed to lock them up in these buildings. Is it clear that the above quotation marks do not refer to statements by Dr. Goebbels in the 1930s, but to the newly supervoted De Luca? Are we or are we not in a collective delirium of which we have lost the contours of gravity?

Let me be clear, the coronavirus exists and is a disease that, selectively, can kill the very elderly population and some people with serious previous diseases. Healthy and young deceased people are very few exceptions, although trumpeted profusely in the media. This is what incontrovertibly emerges from the official data. However, something else emerges from the statements of the president of the Veneto Region, who is anything but a denier. Luca Zaia, during the press conference of 27 August 2020, takes stock of the situation on Covid and explains what happens in patients who enter the hospital for other pathologies, but are then positive for the swab. In fact, the procedure provides that the patient is considered sick with Covid and for this reason is counted among the positives, and possibly among the deaths, of the reference day. The governor of the Veneto Region in fact explained that the first step, when you have a patient, is to distinguish between positive and negative patients. In the event that the patient is positive, explains Zaia, he becomes a Covid patient: "In Italy it is decided that a patient in a positive hospital becomes a Covid patient, then maybe he is there for other pathologies […] The factory stamp gives it to you positivity ". Zaia then explains how the reason for hospitalization is not taken into consideration, an element that then leads to a problem with regard to the count of victims. In fact, during the press conference Zaia explained: “If in the evolution of his disease he has negativization, he is still a Covid patient for statistics, so if he loses his life he will go to the accounts of the Covid patient who lost his life. It is absurd, but today we think like this ”.

In short, Luca Zaia explains that, based on how we are proceeding at this moment in our country, the medical record is not carefully examined and based on it, the calculations are made. If the patient is positive and, due to complications arising from the pathology for which he is hospitalized, he loses his life, even if it has become negative in the meantime, it is still considered as Covid death. Obviously, however, this only happens if the patient remains in hospital.

This is the truth that emerges from official data and declarations of institutions and government officials: the coronavirus must be kept under control and must be stemmed but there are far more dangerous diseases and causes of death that are totally ignored. The question to ask is: why? Why are the precautions up to paroxysm, obsessiveness and the destruction of the economy and our social relations only valid for the coronavirus ? The anxiety and terror, as well as the propaganda of the media, have completely clouded the critical capacity of the Italians on what is happening and on the regime that is being established. The sleep of reason generates monsters …
