Covid, here’s how Bertolaso tosses the Government, Civil Protection and Regions
File for tampons? Civil Protection is needed for a service h. 24. Influenza vaccines? The government must centralize. Civil protection? Without doctors now at the top. Benches with wheels? A madness. Guido Bertolaso, doctor, former head of Civil Protection, speaks
Clear, brief, no polemical tone, constructive and proactive attitude. With polite yet well-settled stylets
Guido Bertolaso, doctor, former head of Civil Protection, spoke little but clearly today during the program L'Aria che tira on La7.
There are not many comments to make to Bertolaso's words. Here they are.
LACK OF COORDINATION ON ANTI INFLUENZA VACCINES
"Someone has to explain to us why some materials related to the fight against Covid have been centralized for what concerns the purchase and supply, I am thinking of masks, tampons, school desks, with questionable results, then for anti-flu have given the responsibility to the regions, already overburdened ”.
HOW TO AVOID TAILS FOR PADS
“No controversy, the thing that struck me most in Naples is that the jobs for swabs open at 8 in the morning. Not good, we are in an emergency, we work 24 hours a day. Not enough staff? We have a million volunteers from the Civil Protection. Why are they not called? ”.
INFECTION
"I felt thrilling shivers, it was a dramatic experience – said Bertolaso speaking of his experience as a Covid patient lived in the spring – I want to publicly thank Professor Zangrillo and Professor Tresoldi of San Raffaele who got me out of this drama ".
MISTAKES
“We have a resilience that no other people in the world have. In the first months of this total drama nobody was perfect, in Lombardy the biggest mistake was to underestimate at the beginning ”.
CIVIL PROTECTION
“When I was at the Civil Protection, there were five doctors – including me – on the top staff. Now there is no doctor ”.
THE LOMBARD HOSPITAL FOR INTENSIVE THERAPIES? LIKE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
"This is a fire extinguisher, it is present in all public places, it is the most present device in all of Italy but fortunately the least used of all, but it costs": that is the hospital in Fiera di Milano with intensive care as a sort of fire extinguisher to be activated in case of emergency.
"From day one it was said that the Fiera di Milano hospital would be made available to the whole country and it seems to me that Minister Speranza was absolutely in agreement, so much so that he stressed that something similar had to be done also in the Central and Southern Italy. It is therefore welcome if this operation gets underway ", Bertolaso, a consultant to the President of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, said days ago to build the Covid hospital in Fiera in Milan, contacted by Adnkronos: " We must always work for the common good of the country and not just for a local reality ”, added Bertolaso. 17.2 million euros were invested for the hospital at the Fiera di Milano, built last March. The structure, with 221 intensive care beds in negative controlled atmosphere and absolute filters, is spread over about 24 thousand square meters and has two Tac rooms, two Rx rooms, two rooms for minor surgical interventions, two triage areas, two separate entrances for ambulances, triple oxygen reserves with tanks for 82,000 liters and 20,000 nitrogen, and rooms for 64 places, including non-intensive two or four-bed hospitalization.
ROTATING BENCHES
Bertolaso said today in a public event in Catania: " Benches on wheels are a huge nonsense, very dangerous in highly seismic territories".
