“I have been optimistic when I mentioned a lockdown a Natale, with these numbers we will get there much sooner. “Thus, in an interview with The messenger the microbiologist of the University of Padua Andrea Crisanti. “We have a double problem – he says -. The numbers that are coming out I’m a disaster. We need to lower the contagion curve, but once we get the result, we need to be able to keep the curve low. But the tracking system is completely skipped. Containment measures are useless without an organic plan to equip Italy with a system that keeps the number of infections low. It’s the real challenge “.

Crisanti controversy on time lost by the government, “if instead of throwing money to buy the desks on wheels we had invested on tracking“, urges the microbiologist,” and on the ability to perform swabs, today we would be in a different situation. We can’t go on another six months with closures alone. This summer – remember – we had reached 300 infections a day, we should have asked ourselves the problem and organized ourselves to prevent that data from rising again by putting in place a real and effective tracking and buffer system. Instead we did nothing “.
As for the quick increase in infectionsCrisanti states: “For once I’ve been optimistic, I’ve been proven wrong. I predicted the lockdown at Christmas, thinking the positives would gradually increase. I wouldn’t have expected the territorial contrast and tracking system to crumble so quickly. It is evident that a tightening of measures it will be rapidly developing if those that have been put in place do not work “.
