The professor did not comment on the 110 cases of Alzano but with his structures he managed to establish that none of the over three thousand cases of pneumonia that occurred in Veneto between October and January “highlighted the presence of Covid”. The tests carried out by Crisanti were carried out by first making a ‘generic’ swab to the patient to establish the diagnosis, which was kept, then a second, aimed at specifically identifying the presence of the virus. None of the 3 thousand cases were successful.
