"Between February and March there will be a third wave of Covid and if someone thinks that at Christmas we will all be beautifully free from the virus, they are wrong": this is what Guido Bertolaso said while participating in the "105 Friends" broadcast on Radio 105. Speaking instead of the situation strictly linked to Umbria, where he is a consultant to the Region for the management of the pandemic emergency, the former head of the National Civil Protection explained that here "the situation is quite under control thanks also to the military and Red Cross hospitals that are been assembled in Perugia and Terni ".
"Together with the plan that has been drawn up - added Bertolaso - I believe that Umbria is able to resist".
"Arcuri has made so many bad figures in the past months that this will be the moment of his great redemption, so I cannot believe that the distribution of the Covid vaccine does not work"
: this is how
Guido Bertolaso
answered the question of the presenters of Radio 105 in about the distribution of the anti-coronovirus vaccine entrusted to the extraordinary commissioner for the pandemic emergency.
"The distribution of the vaccine against Covid - added Bertolaso - will also work because the Regions have already been involved and Arcuri has already moved".
"The vaccine - said the former head of Prociv - will arrive if everything goes well not before the end of February and therefore they have three months to organize themselves, to find suitable refrigerators and to find the staff who will go to vaccinate people" .
The issue of the distribution of the anti Covid vaccine was touched upon in transmission after there was talk of the difficulty of administering the flu vaccine in recent weeks.
"In this period, in the past - said Bertolaso - everyone had been vaccinated against the flu, this year, which is fundamental, less than 50% of the people to be vaccinated have been vaccinated and this will be a problem that will go to add to the dramatic one of the pandemic ".
"We are a patchy country. We have spectacular excellences and then realities such as Calabria": said Guido Bertolaso speaking of Italian health during the "105 Friends" broadcast this morning on Radio 105. "I give you a small interpretation ", added Bertolaso, talking about what happened with the Calabrian health commissioner Saverio Cotticelli.
"He was nominated by the government and not chosen by the Calabrians - recalled the former head of Civil Protection -, but if you put your man to manage healthcare in Calabria for two years, then Covid breaks out, but you want to call him, question him , hear about what are the problems of the territory? ".
"If it was a journalist who discovered that he did not know he was responsible - Bertolaso continues -, it means that no one from Rome had ever checked him, he had never checked what he was doing in Calabria. I believe that the fundamental problem of health in our Country lies in the fact that those who are above the health technicians should monitor, support, but obviously, instead, think of something else ".
