Coronavirus, clinics closed in Lombardy: ?We recover doctors and nurses?

The Lombardy Region has decided to suspend all outpatient activities in public and private structures, except for urgent and non-deferrable ones to deal with the coronavirus emergency. The announcement came yesterday evening from the Welfare Councilor Giulio Gallera. It is a measure aimed at recovering doctors and nurses for use in the intensive care and pneumology wards. The provision, which follows that of stopping 70 percent of the planned interventions, will become operational throughout the region starting from Monday. It will be included in the government measure, arriving today, on the indication of the Lombardy Region, which will implement it 'with a guideline from the Welfare Directorate-General', announces Gallera.

From next week, therefore, general practitioners will only be able to prescribe 'urgent' visits. What about chronic patients? 'If they are indifferent and urgent they will make the visits, otherwise they will not.' Same answer for those who have a visit on the agenda, even booked months ago. ?Every day we have 200 more people to be admitted to our hospitals. If we have staff, we can open more beds, hospitalize the sick and withstand the impact. ' The measure will last a couple of months on an extraordinary basis, until the emergency returns.

Coronavirus Lombardia, the peak of 8000 infections to be avoided by March 22nd

Behind the choices of politics there are numbers to think about. The latest Thursday updates give 2,251 swab positive cases for Lombardy, 1,169 hospitalized patients, 244 in intensive care, 98 died. It does not end here. The commitment of all of us called to responsibly follow the measures useful to stop the virus race, among children who do not go to school and prohibition of overcrowding, serves to avoid the peak of infections. The estimate, for Lombardy only, is eight thousand new hospitalizations by March 22, 1,250 of which are serious and 400 in intensive care. These are forecasts drawn up on mathematical models by the experts of the Crisis Unit which are likely to come true if containment measures fail. They are not data that should alarm us, but they are important to guide us in our daily choices: everyone must limit contagion opportunities as much as possible and who is elderly (or frail) must remain at home.

Coronavirus, Coordination of intensive care physicians: pressure beyond measure, situation at the limit

March 7, 2020
2197
"The Covid-19 epidemic that began on February 20 in the Codogno area is now extended to the entire Lombardy Region with the possibility of spreading to the whole national territory". The 'Coordination of intensive care of Lombardy' writes in a document sent on Saturday 7 March to the president of the Lombardy Region , Attilio Fontana , who is asked to bring it to the attention of the Government and to the commissioner for the coronavirus emergency , Angelo Borrelli .

Danger for the whole population


"This is a serious event - continues the letter signed by the representatives of the intensive care units in Lombardy - which endangers the survival not only of Covid patients , but also of that part of the population who in normal conditions turns to the Health System for treatment of acute or chronic events of any nature ".

Pressure beyond all possibilities


“Healthcare facilities - continues the letter - are subjected to a pressure that is greater than any possibility of adequate response. Despite the enormous commitment of all healthcare personnel and the deployment of all available tools, correct management of the phenomenon is now impossible ".

Outpatient activities almost zero


" Outpatient activities , non-urgent surgery, hospitalizations in medicine - the document continues - have fallen to levels close to zero".

Restructured intensive care network


"The entire network of intensive care - says the document - has been restructured, creating dedicated structures in which, fully harnessed to defend against infection, you work with great effort to assist seriously and seriously ill patients, whose life depends on technologically equipment unfortunately limited complexes available ”.

Immediate and drastic measures


"For this reason too - the letter emphasizes - the immediate adoption of drastic measures aimed at reducing social and useful contacts to contain the epidemic is absolutely necessary".

Timely provisions are urgently needed


"In the absence of timely and adequate provisions from the authorities - concludes the document - we will be forced to face an event that we can only qualify as a disastrous health calamity".

Coronavirus: in Milan over two hundred cases, a 18 year old in Resuscitation




“I will never forget the eyes of the patient I intubated this morning. Please stay home. ' The message from Alessandra, a doctor committed to the virus, arrived via Facebook and the Welfare Councilor Giulio Gallera reads it, pronouncing the words, at the end of the daily video appointment to take stock of the situation. Because the heart of the communication of the head of the Lombard health care machine lies in those three words: 'Stay at home'.




Monday's bulletin still offers worrying numbers: 1,280 new infections that bring the regional total to 5,469; 2,802 hospitalized, that is 585 more in the last 24 hours; 440 people in intensive care, with an increase of 41 occupied beds; 76 more deaths for 333 in total (9 in Milan). In the capital the count of positive swabs has reached 208 (506 in the province, that is 100 more in a day). But there are also 646 discharges and 'Patient 1' has left intensive care and is breathing independently. Gallera mentions the many 'discouraged' messages and appeals from doctors working night and day, but he also stresses that 'the health system is holding up', recalls that 'in fifteen days we managed to recover 223 new places in intensive care' and announces another 150 almost invented for the next seven days. 'But perhaps the time has come to tighten the measures even more', because 'we 15 or 20 more days with such a frenzied growth of people in the emergency rooms and in intensive care units do not stand them, Lombardy does not hold them and not Italy is holding them, 'said Gallera on Tuesday morning.

The hypothesis of containers and exhibition halls transformed into hospitals also remains. The reasoning, repeated for days as 'a mantra', is simple and devoted to stir the consciences of the indifferent who still do not accept the invitations to limit travel and social relations: the health system is making enormous efforts and still manages 'to have more places than those needed in intensive care ?, however? if it does not slow down the rate of infection, there is a risk that the system will no longer hold up ?. In short, the two fronts move: the virus on one side, the Maginot sanitary line on the other. The problem is speed. If the number of patients who need a bed in the hospital and, above all, intensive care or respirators for several days increases too quickly, then even the extreme efforts of these weeks will prove insufficient.




So 'something else' must take over, that is, the interruption or at least the slowdown of the infections. Like? 'By reducing one's social life, contacts between people.' Because this is the vehicle on which the virus travels. Hence the renewed appeal to 'stay at home' of the regional government: 'There is no drug, there is no vaccine against coronavirus - he repeats - the only way to combat the epidemic is to drastically reduce our social life and avoid displacements. ' And to be even more convincing, Councilor Gallera cites a figure: 33 percent of the Lombard inpatients in intensive care are aged between 50 and 64. So even though 37 percent of intubated people are between 65 and 74 and 22 percent are over 75, 'it is not true that the virus attacks only the elderly'. Among other things, an 18-year-old boy was hospitalized in intensive care at San Raffaele on Monday. Also affected by Covid-19.

Coronavirus: the Lombardy Region thinks to close everything: 'We can't stand another 15 days'

Fifteen days of absolute curfew in Lombardy. Close offices like shops, except those that sell powered goods. Reduce transport services to the strict minimum. It is the idea that the regional government has been evaluating for some hours and that has already anticipated this morning the councilor for Welfare Giulio Gallera in connection with the transmission Agor?, on Rai. 'We had already asked to close all the businesses, because if I go out to go to work I can't stop shopping. But perhaps the time has come to tighten the measures even more.' Gallera added: 'Shutting down entirely for at least Lombardy for 15 days can serve to reduce or block the spread of the virus, experts say. Why do we need another 15 or 20 days with such a frenzied growth of people in emergency rooms and intensive care units? we do not hold them, Lombardy does not hold them and Italy does not hold them '.

'We are currently managing to cope with all needs and requirements, but we cannot resist for a long time yet,' said the president of the Region Attilio Fontana in a video on his Facebook page, talking about the coronavirus emergency. 'We need there to be a real turnaround, that people stop the spread of this contagion, we need the numbers to start to shrink, more awareness by all,' added the governor.

... [h=2]+++ TUESDAY MARCH 10, UPDATE OF 20 +++[/h] [h=2]Gallera: 644 intensive care places for covid. Renew appeal to responsible behavior[/h]
“Today we have 644 places in our intensive care available for coronavirus patients. We added 223 to the 723 that were at the beginning, reaching 946. And in the next few days we will open another 150/200 ".

The councilor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region, Giulio Gallera, said during the press conference convened to take stock of the Coronavirus situation.

"Since the emergency began - he explained - intensive care has managed 778 patients and 103 discharged, 80 have died. 25% of the patients are no longer in TI, and today we are trying to rotate as much as possible patients, identifying other structures that can accommodate less serious patients. We think of hotel structures or larger spaces like those of the fair. It is also under consideration the possibility of using socio-sanitary facilities for intermediate treatments so as to lighten hospital settings and open spaces for intensive care and find spaces like Cuasso al Monte or Sondalo (100 places). The survey on structures like that of Bollate for the sub-intensive also goes on, thus expanding our reception capacity to the maximum ".

And then the strong appeal to keep and spread virtuous behavior. “Abscesses of contagious growth must be stopped - he said - and therefore we re-launch to observe even more scrupulously the indications. We can see the results within 7/10 days, so with the president we shared the need to put in even stronger measures ".

The councilor therefore confirmed that the Region continues to support the hospitals that are most suffering such as Bergamo and Cremona, not only trying to move some patients, but also by sending medical and health personnel.

Among other things, the 'DL' has been published which makes hiring more flexible.

"Today - explained the councilor - we will come out with a call for medical specialists and nurses who will be hired with co.co.co. contracts. We have 200 specialist doctors who can intervene immediately. All fourth and fifth year postgraduate doctors, already in the hospital rankings, who can be hired directly by the structures with fixed-term contracts ".

As for non-specialized doctors, who are a thousand in Lombardy, they can be employed on the basis of a simple evaluation of the qualifications. "Another 250 nurses will graduate by tomorrow and they will be able to enter immediately."

Gallera then explained that 30 patients were transferred to other regions, "only 1 positive covid".

“We have taken seriously the willingness of the Civil Protection to build a large area, such as the Fair, where to build 500 intensive care beds, however, we need the right equipment. The project is ready and is already in the hands of national civil protection ".

THE DATA - The commissioner then updated the contagion data, also remembering those of the previous days

Coronavirus, the closures requested by Lombardy and Veneto


The letter sent to Conte by the Lombardy Region: close "all commercial activities" except those of public utility, shopping malls, bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels and craft service activities
Coronavirus, the closures requested by Lombardy and Veneto
shadow

The Lombardy Region formally asked the government to tighten the measures decided by the executive on the night between Saturday and Sunday, and then extended Monday to the whole national territory. In the letter sent by the Lombardy Region to the government, "total closure" is not requested, but a series of activities to be closed to contain Coronavirus is listed, given the "exponential increase in cases of contagion (in Lombardy there are 5,791 cases, at 10 March) and the "consequent burden on the health system". The government is in these minutes meeting with the technical committee to evaluate the requests received from Lombardy and the Veneto Region (whose president, Luca Zaia, said that "if we continue to respecting the rules by April 15th, we will have 2 million infected Venetians ").

Here, in detail, the requests made by the Lombardy Region:

* closure of all retail commercial activities, with the exception of those relating to utilities, essential public services, the sale of basic necessities and newsagents;
* closure of all shopping centers, shops within them and sales departments of non-essential goods. Pharmacies, parapharmacies and points of sale for food and basic necessities remain open. Both the street and indoor markets and the medium and large sales structures are closed;
* closure of bars, pubs, restaurants of all kinds;
* closure of artisan service activities (eg hairdressers, beauticians, etc.) with the exception of emergency and emergency services;
* closure of all hotels and any other activities intended for reception (e.g. hostels, farmhouses, etc. ..) with the exception of those identified as necessary for the purpose of carrying out public service activities;
* suspension of all canteen services both in public and private structures;
* closure of all tertiary and professional services, with the exception of those related to the public utility and the proper functioning of the sectors mentioned in the previous points. It is proposed further suspension, consequently, of the procedural terms and of the administrative, insurance, etc.

The Lombardy Region requests that "any activity carried out with agile work methods" be allowed, asks to identify what "activities of indifferent necessity are", and also states that "an agreement has already been reached with Confindustria Lombardia" to "regulate the 'possible suspension or reduction of business activities for companies'. Lombardy also requests "to proceed with the variation of the public transport service according to the activities that will remain in place".


The requests of the Veneto

Even the President of the Veneto Region, Zaia, announced that he had asked for even more incisive measures to combat the virus, even without detailing them. "If it continues like this it will all close by force," he said at a press conference. ?Today the game is in the hands of the Venetians. I want to see the empty streets, the lights of the rooms turned off, the empty beaches, the deserted squares. Beyond the law: don't go to friends' dinners, don't meet family, don't go out. Each family must remain isolated in their home ?.

The situation in Lombardy
'Today in Lombardy we had 252 deaths, there are 1,218 in total'. These are the data released by the councilor for Welfare of Lombardy Giulio Gallera. 'There are 13,272 positives, plus 1,587 - he said - 4,898 are hospitalized, plus 602 compared to yesterday, there is a constant but not exponential growth. In intensive care they only increase by 25, 757 in total, a very significant figure smaller than the average of 45. But we don't sing victory, also because the deaths are 1,218, with a growth of 252 '.

Bergamo is the province with the most infected: 3,416 with an increase in one day of 552. In Brescia there are 2,473 (+351), in Cremona 1,792 (227), in Pavia 722 (100), in Mantua 327 (60), Monza and Brianza 339 (+115). In the metropolitan city of Milan, 1,750 (+200) are infected, of which 711 in the city (79), therefore with numbers in proportion to the population lower than other areas.

'Intensive care is the most delicate aspect - Gallera continued -, not the only one because there are hospitals that after 24 days are really exhausted and are very saturated'. Gallera explained in the region 1,200 intensive care places are now available, set up with 'a titanic effort that surprises, amazes and moves us too'. So, Gallera explained, 'we went from 724 to 1,200 seats and a good margin was recovered compared to the numbers we had yesterday, thanks to the large capacity of the structures that are giving answers using everything they have'.

Coronavirus Milano, submerged cases alert: ?I am a flood, nobody knows how many?

The complaint of the general practitioners, forced to visit the phone: "Many sick people who risk infecting their families." The infectious disease specialist of Sacco Massimo Galli: evaluate the opening of laboratories for swabs


d




How many will they be? Response of the first general practitioner: ?A tide. They are sick in their homes. With their families, which they are infecting. We will never know the true number ?. So is there a large number of "unknown" Covid-19 patients? A second doctor replies: ?If the patients do not reach a serious respiratory crisis, they do not enter the hospital. And so they will never be registered. But they have coronavirus, that's for sure ?. This is the opinion of two general practitioners, with a study in the San Siro and Lambrate area. They do not express epidemiological certainties, they do not have the results of the swabs in their hands. But both argue: "They are certainties that come from experience. Out there, in the city, there is a huge number of coronavirus patients who will "break it out" on their own. We hear them on the phone, there are many ?. Here the number of people infected in Lombardy and the alarm for the high number of victims , here the statement by Councilor Gallera on the need to reverse the "curve" as soon as possible .



Here it is, the wave of Covid-19 that is passing through Milan . With a proportion that goes far beyond official statistics. And not because we talk about "asymptomatic" patients. But because the health service is already saturated and therefore, according to the guidelines issued to family doctors, with a decision dictated by necessity, we are choosing to keep the sick at home as much as possible. They are the "submerged" patients. To try to understand what is happening, the Courier has heard the rumors of 8 general practitioners.



The "submerged" exist because the health service, already exhausted, could not deal with it. A doctor explains: ?The indications of the ATS are clear. If you have patients with Covid-19 symptoms, treat them as such, consider them "positive", monitor them, be isolated as required by law. But report them only if they have had certain contacts with an infected person. But many people don't even know if they have had contact "at risk", and therefore they are spending days and days at home with a fever at 39, with the terror of getting worse. This I hear in their voice, when I call them every morning, terror ?. General practitioner and surgeon Roberto Scarano reflects : ?It may also be a correct choice, but we should have the opportunity to go and visit these patients to really understand what their conditions are, and instead we have no protection systems. So we can't do it ?. Result: the sick enter the hospital only when they are in serious conditions, "in some cases close to the point of no return - reflects another doctor from the Ripamonti area -. At that point, the system activates with maximum effort, but it may be too late now ?. Another doctor is looking for an alternative not to get to the "point of no return": "To my suspicions, but in fact safe Covid-19 cases, if they have an" oximeter "in the house I ask to go up the stairs or walk six minutes and then check the oxygen saturation in the blood. If it drops, it means that the level of risk is rising too high ?.



The same doctor, with a study in the center, also had the counter proof that many "submerged" patients are coronavirus cases that the system will never intercept: "I have a dozen patients with identical symptoms, high fever and cough. Five of them went to the Engadine before the closing decree and stayed there. They asked to do the swab, in Switzerland paying is possible. For all five, the outcome was what was already obvious to me: "positive" ?.

Irven Mussi, another general practitioner, study in via Palmanova, reflects: ?The cases that emerge are the tip of the iceberg. The swab is now done practically only to those who go to hospital because it is already serious. But we general practitioners hear so many patients with more nuanced symptoms that they could be Covid-19 patients. The numbers of the sick are therefore not real. Not to mention healthy carriers. Already in January we had noticed a strange increase in interstitial pneumonia, also in Milan. We doctors are still waiting for a new supply of masks and gloves. A colleague has just called me, who has pneumonia and will have to stay at home. ' People counted in "home isolation" are only those with a "positive" buffer, but not in serious conditions. The ATS is organizing itself with a dedicated number to contact them periodically and monitor their conditions, but staff is needed.

Coronavirus Lombardia, more than 14 thousand infections and deaths were 202 more

The daily budget of the regional councilor Giulio Gallera: ?The positives reached 14,649, increased by 1,367 compared to yesterday; 6,171 hospitalizations, plus 1,173 ?





In Lombardy there are 14,649 coronavirus positive and 1,420 deaths, 202 more than yesterday: regional councilor for Welfare Giulio Galler said, explaining that "the data is a bit broken down, some grow a lot, others less". The positives are 1,377 more, "a lower figure than yesterday, in line with that of the other days", while the number of inpatients "is very high, 1,273 more than yesterday". In intensive care 823 people are hospitalized, 66 more than yesterday ?.




In Milan city the infected people "are 813 , yesterday there were 711, hospitals registered an influx in very slight but constant and absolutely manageable", added Gallera. Counting also the province, there are 1,983 cases, more 233 than yesterday's data. On a population of over 3 million inhabitants, he added, they are not high figures. There is still a great deal of suffering from the principals in the most critical areas - he also said - but the situation is stable, even slightly decreasing, while in other areas there is growth but not exponentially ?.



Brescia beats Bergamo in the primacy, certainly not flattering , of the new ones infected by Coronavirus in Lombardy. The Councilor for Welfare of the Region, Giulio Gallera, explained that in Bergamo there are 3,760, or 344 more than yesterday, while in Brescia there are 2,918, with an increase of 445 in a single day. Only 42 new cases in the Lodi area "confirm - he added - that the road taken for containment has been right". Meanwhile, added Gallera, "we have purchased and distributed more than 4 million masks to date. All the companies had asked us for times of even 15 days, we made the contracts with great timeliness. Not only will we be able to provide all the medical staff, but also general practitioners and the rest of those who work in the RSA, in health and social care services ".

Coronavirus, Region: ?In Lombardy 2 thousand more infected. Do not go out, check also on telephone cells ?

'In Lombardy there are 1,640 deaths, 220 more than yesterday, the positives are 16,620 (+ 1971), the hospitalized 6953 (+ 782), 879 people in intensive care (+ 56)'. The regional councilor for welfare Giulio Gallera said this in a video press conference to take stock of the coronavirus emergency in Lombardy. 'We check you through the cell phone, do not leave the house is absolutely important because we win this battle.'

?40% of people move from telephone cells: too much?

'We renew the appeal to stay indoors. We have activated a technology in collaboration with mobile phone companies. After 100 people moved on February 20, when there was no emergency 'to date' we are unfortunately only 40 percent and from yesterday to yesterday we have also increased. It is necessary to stay at home as much as possible, 40 percent is not enough to tell us that we can contain the virus in the best possible way '. The vice-president of the Lombardy Region, Fabrizio Sala, said in the usual point to update on the Coronavirus emergency in Lombardy by showing a graph with the trend of population movements. 'Among other things, these movements are of people who have changed their cell phone, that is, who have moved for more than 300/500 meters,' said Sala

Gallera announced it at the usual press conference to take stock of the health emergency. ?From here on shortly, we will control not only' direct contacts 'but? a second category of people which includes ?all those who have some flu symptom. If you have a cold or a cough you absolutely have to stay indoors, because we have seen that many people develop coronavirus even in a very mild form, which is however very contagious for others '. To contain the epidemic ?We need each of these two categories to be isolated, and at home?, to do this ?we will call and involve general practitioners more and more in this active surveillance, also through telemedicine, pulse oximeters and telephone calls ?. 'This battle - he concluded - we win if we avoid contagion or being infected. And it is still a long battle, the data are also of constant growth today ?.

In Lombardy, ?there are 25,515 positive patients, 3,251 more than yesterday, 8,258 hospitalized, an increase of 523, to which 1,093 people hospitalized in intensive care, with less and less capacious spaces, must be added, while deaths are 3,095 , 546 more ?. These are the numbers announced by the Lombardy Region Welfare Councilor, Giulio Gallera, during the point on the coronavirus emergency. ?We have an increase in the number of patients discharged, which reached 2,139. So many healed people who come out pending the swab negativeization ?. Growing data on the spread of Covid-19 but 'must not throw us into despair. Instead, they must lead to an even stronger determination, 'said Gallera. 'It is a battle that we must win and everyone must be in a position to win this challenge, not to be infected and not to infect anyone'.

In Milan

In Milan, coronavirus-positive patients reached 4,672, while in the capital at 1,829. This is a chiaroscuro figure, because if in the province the infections accelerated compared to yesterday (today +868, compared to +526 yesterday), in Milan the increase is 279 units. 'In Milan this is a lower figure than in the previous days and even the emergency room data indicate stability in the Milan area, I trust that the numbers between tomorrow and Monday will begin to decrease', concluded Gallera.

Bergamo: Falling access to emergency rooms? 'The truth is that there is no place left'


?The drop, on an empirical level, in emergency room access, is also registered by us. As well as empirically, several general practitioners from Bergamasca report a decline in new Covid cases - remarks G uido Marinoni, president of the Order of doctors of the province of Bergamo -. But, it is appropriate to speak clearly, if from empirical sensations we look at official data, the impression is that of manipulated information. Because the emergency room accesses in decline actually indicate the fact that the hospitals are full and have no place. It is no longer known where to hospitalize the sick who, let's face it, if they could be received in hospital they would go there. The truth is that hospital stays are long, for those who are hospitalized, and places are not free.

And the more serious cases are increasing, those that must go to intensive care, which are already clogged. If it is now understood that when we talk about the infected, the data is equivalent only to hospitalized patients, because only they are swab, there is also the pollution provided by the fact that now, a few days ago, swabs are also made to health workers, even those who are symptomatic; but the undeclared, the number of at least 4,000 patients in Bergamo followed by general practitioners at home with obvious symptoms where to read? According to our estimates, at least another 400 thousand people who have contracted the virus, but who have only fever and muscle pain, and these have never made a tampon should also be added. What numbers are we talking about then? The truth is that if access to the emergency room drops to a minimum, the noticeable increase in the area is not reported, and if you do not enter the hospital, it is because there is no more room. 112 knows this very well.
