Bassetti: «The masks only make sense with other preventive measures. Now only 0.5% are in intensive care “

Very interesting interview with Matteo Bassetti, head of Infectious Diseases at San Martino di Genova. What the professor says:

the masks make sense only with other measures, by themselves they are only an external, visible element of obedience to orders, but the Italians have been very correct so far;
the disease is in circulation, but with 55,000 positives we have 250 people in intensive care. This is 0.5%, while in March and ravamo at 5%;
now we are also stable on cases, with about 2% of positive swabs. This means that the virus circulates, but always with the same percentage. It is clear that as the tampons grow, the positives grow;
We must be careful and wear masks, but without sowing terror. This is a useful preventive measure, but Covid-19 is not the bubonic plague of the fourteenth century;
the state of emergency is useful, if it serves to speed up the bureaucracy, but it must be clearly stated that we are no longer at the diffusion that was there in March.

Good listening to prudent and common sense words.
