Is called Christian Jessen and if many Italians ignored his name until March 13, there is now a bet that they remember it well. He is the conductor of Embarrassing Diseases UK and said that the Italians “they use Coronavirus to take a long siesta“. Statements that had sparked a justified fuss and that had made the virologist go wild Roberto Burioni: “It is not the time for controversy, but when an idiot gravely insults all a people who are fighting for their lives, with over a thousand people dead and as many in resuscitation, one cannot be silent”, the doctor wrote on Facebook.

And now Jessen’s apology has arrived: “Regarding my comments on the worldwide coronavirus epidemic and the situation in Italy: I was wrong, I admit it. I tried to play down panic. However, in hindsight I recognize that my observation was insensitive and I must apologize for any disturbance I caused. I understand why it was offensive and I hope you can forgive me. As a doctor, my job is to be honest and try to bring light into people’s lives. I would like to assure you that my thoughts are directed to all those who are affected by the virus and to those who are working hard to help everyone overcome this difficult moment. Finally, I’m not using social media much at the moment, so keep in mind that maybe I won’t see your answers. I repeat that now I will not use social media because i am struggling with my mental health and Twitter isn’t always the best place to be in such circumstances. I’ll be back when I’m better. ” Apologies accepted? Judging by the comments below his post, one would not say: “Too little, too late”, many write.
