Coronavirus: what Italy tells us


Coronavirus: what Italy tells us




Coronavirus: what Italy tells us


 Since Saturday Italy has been the country officially counting the very best number of victims of the coronavirus. and that we don't listen enough to the alert that crosses Alps 

Since last night, the coronavirus has killed more people in Lombardy alone, the foremost affected region in Italy, than altogether of China. This shows the gravity of things within the cities of Bergamo, Brescia and now Milan. 

The hospital structures are on the verge of verge of collapse . Army trucks are requisitioned to move caskets to nearby areas and to cremate them. At 6 p.m. each evening, when the Italian protection services communicate the info of the day, a war bulletin falls.

 Italy eight days before France


 Should we question the Chinese figures? Hard to resist. Should we accuse the health structures? Difficult, once you know that Lombardy is one among the richest regions in Europe, which the standards which are practiced there don't have anything to envy to those of the Ile de France. 

Should we attribute this disastrous toll to the age of the population? doubtless , this is often an element of weight, as indicated by the very high average age of the Italian victims. 

With the acute mobility of the industrious Lombards within the whole urban fabric round the economic capital of the country. With soaring outbreaks in hospitals and therefore the insufficient number of tests.

 But because it had been before the stage on February 21 on a way more violent pandemic than initially announced by many scientists, Italy showed us, day after day, the intangibles. Even Boris Johnson has just converted, and Trump will haven't any other choice. 

Italy also shows us the mistakes to not repeat. which we repeat anyway. just like the political controversy by revenge, totally inappropriate. Or indiscipline within the face of confinement.

 Indiscipline

 For Saturday alone, 11,000 Italians were fined for offenses. a couple of days ago, mobile companies informed public authorities that in Lombardy, 40% of telephone holders were on the move quite 300 m from their home.

 Since yesterday, the govt has toughened the principles . we will not leave our commune without compelling reasons. It attempts to circumscribe the sole activities vital to the lifetime of the state . 

The task is far more complex than it seems in our economic model. Because the food industry and therefore the health sector, security and civil infrastructures, imply keeping the activity of all the businesses which supply, by subcontracting, a cloth or an important service too. just like the plastic, paper or glass factory for packaging.

 Italy, and Giuseppe Conte especially , happened to be the primary democracy to possess to make a decision on historic measures, and it couldn't calculate its partners. 

While waiting to supply enough in Italy itself, the masks arrive from China, doctors having treated Ebola come from Cuba, material is predicted from Russia. 

If a collective burst doesn't happen , especially from Berlin, it'll become very difficult to be Italian and to feel European. Solidarity can't be explained, it are often demonstrated.

 The heroic example of caregivers


 Italy has also given hope. The initial patriotism reaction. Studies administered within the first communes indicating to others that the bulk of positive cases are symptomless which containment, if amid tests, works. 

The dedication of caregivers too, like this historic photo of the nurse collapsed on her computer after each day at the bedside. 

The Italian government launched an appeal on Saturday for 300 volunteer doctors for the foremost affected areas. Almost 8,000 responded in but 24 hours. Humanity resists.
