Continue the mystery on book from the minister Roberto Speranza, first announced and then withdrawn from the shelves a few hours after its release. The hyenas have tried to understand what lies behind such a sudden step backwards, which the parts of the ministry justified with the impossibility on the part of Speranza to carry out the presentation press conferences, given the coronavirus emergency in which Italy has again fallen in conjunction with the publication of the volume. This is also the answer given by an elusive Hope to Le Iene, who intercepted him to ask him some questions to which he, however, avoided answering, barricading himself in the house. “I didn’t have it either, I don’t have time for the presentation“, he just said, before closing the door behind him.
Because we will heal tells the first wave of the epidemic in Italy, recounting the scene and background above all of the lockdown, one of the most traumatic moments in modern history for our country. The second wave of the epidemic was widely predicted for October by scholars, as well as the third wave in February seems to be foreseeable. Therefore there is a certain bitter irony in the timing chosen by Roberto Speranza to publish his volume on the coronavirus in conjunction with the new surge in infections. Filippo Roma and Hyenas they wanted to go deeper into the question to understand what is really behind the turnaround, to find out if there is a more valid reason for so suddenly withdrawing a book from the shelves. For the hyena it was not easy to find a copy, there are very few available.
At a first quick reading, Filippo Roma is banned fromoptimism with which Roberto Speranza talks about the coronavirus and the first wave, the aforementioned bitter irony in the timing of publication in conjunction with the beginning of the second, overwhelming, wave. Beyond this, however, there is the story of the experience lived in first person by the Minister of Health at the time of the lockdown, and it is perhaps here that the most interesting details begin to emerge. “If instead of March 6 this step forward had been made after my first letter at the end of January, today we would be in a completely different situation“writes Roberto Speranza, almost as if to wash his hands for the late measures which, according to him, triggered the chain that led us to disaster. A strong accusation, which, however, Le Iene contest with the subsequent words of the minister. It was February 27 when Speranza in the Senate declared that “in most cases the coronavirus involves mild symptoms and it heals quickly and spontaneously in 80% of cases“And this, in the book, is not there.
In the book there is also Roberto Speranza’s recipe to counter the second wave, a series of measures that would have been taken to avoid what happened with the first. Destiny wanted the book to come out in conjunction with the re-explosion of the cases and that of all that announced by the minister there was actually nothing ready. “Modernization technological equipment of hospitals, replacement of tac, pet, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, ultrasound, a real revolution of local services“, reads between the pages of the volume. A declaration of intent which was not followed by the facts, because otherwise Italy would not be counting further 700 dead newspapers. Filippo Roma underlines that if he had acted as written in the book of Hope, the country would not be caught in the grip of fear. The minister’s volume also speaks of “encouraging signs from an economic and social point of view“, words that are read today seem out of place and anachronistic. Why, then, was the book withdrawn? Hyenas the lack of time is only a pretext to hide the real reason: Roberto Speranza realized too late that that book should not have been published.
