Coronavirus, Bassetti: “Italy first for dead? Someone in the EU lies”

Interviewed by Adnkronos Healthin fact theinfectious disease exclaims:“I am ashamed of what the data are photographing, or that Italy would be the worst in Europe. How is it possible? If I look at other countries like France and the Germany there is something wrong with the number of deaths “.

Sita’s number one, therefore, argues his thesis: “There is something wrong with me. Either our data is overestimated, that is, we put in the calculation of coronavirus deaths those who died also and not from coronavirus, or France and Germany do not tell the truth”. And in France, remember, 285 cases and four would have been registered dead. Bassetti, as an expert, does not explain it at all.

Therefore, the infectious disease specialist has a say on the state of the National Health System and on the counter-moves adopted by the Conte government to face theemergency: “If we can deal with this emergency as a long wave the system can hold. This means focusing on coronavirus positive and serious patients. Now is no longer the time to do swabs carpet “.

Furthermore, during the interview with the press agency, the doctor criticized the executive’s decision to close the schools is university Italians until Sunday 15 March, branding it as “exaggerated” and motivating it as a merely “political” choice. Here, in this regard, Bassetti-thought: “It was a political decision and in my opinion exaggerated, the technical-scientific committee did not completely agree”. So please specify: “We currently know that i children they are less affected, but we don’t know if they can be carriers and bring the coronavirus into the house, where there are perhaps fragile grandparents. The school, as everyone knows, is a receptacle of pathogenic organisms and therefore, from an epidemiological point of view, it may make sense to stop the lessons, but the knot is how long “. And from Monday 16 March what will happen? Right now, it’s difficult to make a prediction. Even for an infectious disease specialist: “To date we cannot predict it”.
