“The hospitals in Milan are collapsing, there is no more room for patients. Go on like this, you risk dying in an ambulance or at home, as happened in the spring ». He says it Maurizio Viecca, head of cardiology at the Sacco hospital in Milan, who asks the institutions to intervene immediately in Lombardy and in Milan, in particular, where the percentage of swab positives rose to 18.3%.

“The crisis in hospitals does not depend so much on vacant or vacant posts, but on the lack of staff. Many health workers have fallen ill, in percentages that were not found in the spring because the virus circulated less in Milan ». According to Viecca, solutions must be adopted immediately to avoid even worse scenarios. «We must immediately reduce contacts, first of all on public transport – he proposes -. Area C must be opened in Milan, private buses for tourist use must be used.

And then, according to Viecca, it takes the controls of the police. If 95% of people used standard masks, we would have thousands of fewer deaths and the lockdown would be decisive and short, as shown by a study by the University of Washington ». «The control of the use of masks – concludes Viecca – and the sanctions for those who do not wear them or wear them incorrectly it is a social but also a moral duty for the institutions ».

Fabrizio Marrali, the “historian”, also reports on the very difficult health situation in Milan family doctor in Rogoredo, a working-class neighborhood in the southern suburbs: «We are starting to find it really difficult to follow patients, we are already exhausted. This morning – explains the doctor, who in these days has around forty cases of Covid among his patients – I requested, through the Ats portal, a diagnostic swab for a patient of mine and the first vacancy is for next Tuesday. They are full and for the healing pads, to understand if one has been negativized, – he adds – or one turns to the private individual or expects the link that Ats will send self-book ». It is impossible to predict the times since “they can’t even answer the phone anymore“. For what concern flu vaccine, Marrali reports: «I only received 30 doses out of 500 and they are used for those under 65 and at risk. The problem is serious: if there will be another lockdown how can I do with the elderly? Precisely this year when we had to start early, they tell us that maybe in November they will send the doses ».
