Just a few days ago, the Spanish Television (TVE) reporter Lorenzo Milá became a trend on social networks. All this thanks to a chronicle, recorded in Milan (Italy), in which he assured that the alarm for the coronavirus was not justified: “Here the doctors do not tire of repeating to us that we are facing a type of flu. A type of flu that affects people with low defenses, with precarious health situations, such as the elderly, which is the same thing happens with the common flu. “
Next, and after explaining what the current situation in Italy is like, Lorenzo Milá explained that the coronavirus was not as terrifying as, for example, Ebola: “It has a very low mortality rate, lower than the common flu, around at 2% “. For the same reason, the journalist called for good sense: “This is the real photograph that doctors never tire of repeating. It seems that alarmism is more widespread than the data“.
“I don’t understand. There is something artificial about it.”
After the success of this chronicle, Mara Torres has interviewed the journalist to discover to what extent the impact generated by the chronicle has surprised him: “I was surprised, above all, because the day before I had made a very similar chronicle at the same time and nothing happened. The difference between one day and another is that someone made a cut-paste, put it in networks, it was retweeted by someone with many followers and this absurd mess was mounted “.
Then, Mara Torres explained that the chronicle made her be Trending Topic on Twitter all day. A fact that has surprised the journalist, who does not give credit to all the commotion generated in recent days: “I do not understand. There is something artificial in that. There is something of smoke, of unreality, of false that does not dazzle me at all.” For all this, Lorenzo Milá recognizes that the sooner you disappear from this type of spotlight, the better.
The day-to-day life of Lorenzo Milá
After talking about the viral chronicle, in which he tried to lower his alertness, the journalist spoke about his day to day in Milan: “I wake up around 6.30 am, I make breakfast for the children and I accompanied them to school. By 8.30 or something like that I’m already up and running. Now we are, logically, on top of all the virus update and the news that may occur“.
In fact, and since both he and his team have spent five days in what is considered a red zone, they have had to start wearing a mask: “Actually, the cameraman, the producer and I are in isolation because we have spent five days in the red zone quite exposed and we go with masks in the office and at home“Mainly in his home, where he admits that he does not take it off to avoid any possible contagion to his children:” I have no interest in transmitting anything that he could have caught.
