NEW AIR IN LOMBARDY?

This is what the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana (Lega) said, adding that "critical situations such as those that occurred over the weekend offer a distorted image of the results we have achieved to date".

CASE AIR IN LOMBARDY. EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE BY HUFFINGTON POST ITALY:

After yet another malfunction of the anti-Covid vaccination booking mechanism in Lombardy and the continuous and repeated criticism of the Pirellone by minorities, now Aria Spa also ends up in the crosshairs of 'friendly fire', with heavy criticism directed at it by the Lombard Vice President Letizia Moratti and President Fontana's consultant for the vaccination campaign, Guido Bertolaso.

Founded on 1 July 2019 from the merger of three regional companies, Arca (Regional Purchasing Center), Lispa (Lombardia Informatica) and Ilspa (Lombard Infrastructures), the Regional Agency for Innovation and Purchasing had the ambition to become a digital efficient company able to manage the physical and digital infrastructures of Lombardy and manage the purchasing cycle of the Region.

A fully public-owned company capable of saving the Region 1.6 million euros in 2019, with a cost reduction that, had it not been for Covid, would have reached 2 million in 2020 forecasts.

The director of the operation was the regional councilor for the budget and responsible for all the subsidiaries of the Lombardy Region, the Northern League player Davide Caparini, an engineer from Brescia close to Matteo Salvini. At the head of Aria, as president, sits the former number one of Lombardia Informatica, Francesco Ferri, politically close to Forza Italia, while newly appointed is the general manager of the company, Lorenzo Gubian, who arrived in August to replace Filippo Buongiovanni.

DO WE OPEN SCHOOLS?

EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM CORRIERE DELLA SERA:

In Italy, where the classes have been closed much longer than in other European countries, there is no significant correlation between the spread of infections and face-to-face lessons. The opening of schools is therefore cleared, or at least this is the conclusion reached by a mammoth research, the first of its kind in Italy, conducted by a team of epidemiologists, doctors, biologists and statisticians including Sara Gandini of the Ieo of Milan. "The zero risk does not exist but on the basis of the data collected we can affirm that the school is one of the safest places with respect to the possibility of contagion", summarizes the epidemiologist and biostatistician.

The studies analyze the data of the Miur and cross them with those of the Ats and Civil Protection to cover an initial sample equal to 97% of Italian schools: more than 7.3 million students and 770 thousand teachers. "The numbers show that the surge in the epidemic observed between October and November cannot be attributed to the opening of schools": the rate of positivity of the children with respect to the number of swabs performed is less than 1%. "More: their total or partial closure, for example in Lombardy and Campania, does not affect the infamous Kd and Rt indexes in the least. For example in Rome, schools open 10 days before Naples but the curve rises 12 days after Naples, and so for many other cities ”, explains the expert. Still, the role of students in the transmission of the coronavirus is marginal: «Young people infect 50% less than adults, who are truly responsible for the disproportionate growth of the pandemic curve. And this is also confirmed with the English variant ». In other words, Sars-Cov 2 outbreaks that occur in the classroom are very rare (under 7% of all schools) and the frequency of transmission from boy to teacher is statistically not very significant. Four times more frequent that teachers become infected with each other, perhaps in the teachers' room, "but this is the same risk that one takes, for example, in any office".

As for the increase in the number of young people who fall ill and are intercepted, the figure must be related to the surge in the number of swabs carried out during face-to-face teaching: "In the absence of scientific evidence of the advantages of closing schools, the the precautionary principle should be that of keeping schools open to contain serious damage, still not scientifically measurable in all their scope and certainly irreversible on the psychophysical health of children and their families. The school should be the last to close and the first to reopen », Gandini unbalanced.

“There are also risks in keeping schools closed for so long. In Italy, high school teenagers went to school on average this year, only 30 days in all ». In detail, analyzing the infection rates of the population by age group starting from the autumn months, the incidence of positives among students is about 40% lower for elementary and middle school and 9% for high school compared to that of the general population. Against a large number of tests performed every week in institutions, less than 1% of swabs performed were positive. Finally, the reopening of schools did not correspond to a growth in the pandemic curve: infections rise first of all for the 20-59 age group, as can be clearly seen for example in Veneto, and only after two or three weeks among adolescents . "The boys can therefore in no way be defined as responsible or engine of the curve."
