“You have a mask on the contrary” Bassetti reacts: he silences everyone

The invitation to respect the rules to avoid the risk of spreading the Coronavirus is correlated by a self-timer wearing a mask on the contrary, so the infectious specialist Matteo Bassetti ends up in the crosshairs of some internet users who have replied to the post uploaded to their personal page Instagram.

Some comments were made in a more “light” way, others were definitely over the top, so much so that the director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa was forced to reply with a further intervention: “In the ward you work hard and it can happen that when you replace the mask you put it backwards. Yesterday someone pointed this out to me in a nice way. Instead, there are those who did it in a stupid way “, Bassetti complained.

In his initial post, the one associated with the “incriminated” photo, the infectious disease specialist has once again renewed the invitation to respect the rules to limit the episodes of contagion: “We health workers are doing our part in the hospitals. The work is hard and hard here in our wards, but we have great satisfaction with our care. However, the citizens must also do their part. Everyone.Bassetti explained to his followers on Instagram.

The system to be adopted is always the same, and it is not allowed to get distracted and lose sight of the goal, given the increase in the number of infections. The advice, for those who believe they are showing symptoms compatible with those characteristic of Covid-19, is to contact the family doctor immediately and request a visit from him. domiciliary. However, there is a further invitation of equal importance, given the high risk of congestion in hospitals, that is to stay at home in case the health conditions are not worrying,“avoiding to request or perform the swab if not appropriate and prescribed by a doctor, avoiding to stock up on drugs (in the idea that sooner or later they will be useful)”, advises the infectious disease specialist. “Only by rowing all together on the same side will we make it. United we win”, conclude.

Faced with the more aggressive comments to his photo with a reverse mask, Bassetti then added again: “They are always the same idiots. Those who instead of working spend their lives criticizing others in a destructive way only. Some of these scientists also said that I would lose authority with the mask backwards. Rest assured that the mask works even if it is on the contrary as long as it is very snug, as it always is “, he pointed out in a piquant way. “Sorry that incompetents continue to deal with a subject they ignore and want to teach experts what to do. Italy is full of them. And you can understand why we are at this point. Keep it up..
