San Marino. “The unanswered questions of pandemic management”
“We begin to suspect that the mini crisis that opened in the government before Christmas, with the resignation of Secretary Ciavatta – first given, then frozen and then withdrawn after a single political confrontation with the majority – ended with the decision not to do and not to say anything more about the pandemic situation which unfortunately is still affecting the country, to mask the profound divisions that mostly exist on the issue “.
This is the political reflection of Future Republic, which raises a series of questions regarding the government’s management of the Covid emergency.
While elsewhere they reflect in depth and attentively on the management of quarantines, swabs, schools, home isolation of positives, vaccinations, etc. in light of the very high contagiousness – combined with an apparent lower gravity – of the Omicron variant, here everything is silent.
At most, we mere mortals can delight in some periodic interviews with Tg San Marino by Secretary Ciavatta (ready to repeat the usual rhetorical reassurance already heard) or by Secretary Belluzzi (who says that the school reopens without problems and without particular doubts, despite the current guidelines for the management of infections it is easy to understand that it will be an opening that will soon transform into DAD). For those who prefer social networks, it is possible to enjoy the conspiracy theories of the Secretary Lonfernini, who announced the plot of the unspecified “lords of evil” who want to deliberately infected the world in order to divide us.
Nothing else. In the meantime, there is a flood of consultancies for less useful tasks (almost € 45,000 for 3 months of work by Bevere and his staff, it is not yet understood what to do, waiting to become the new CEO of the ISS), moreover not only in health care (how can we forget the over € 30,000 that will be spent on an assignment to a company to produce yet another waste management plan? As if we didn’t know how to do it alone…).
Moreover, that the motto of this government is “spend and spread to friends and put the dust under the carpet on problems” is well known.
Too bad that in the meantime the country is completely lacking answers on some central issues of this pandemic phase:
1) how to be able to talk on the phone with healthcare professionals without spending hours and hours waiting for someone to answer (and often without getting an answer): a theme that now arises strongly not only for the medicine of but also for those who need to do tampons, get out of quarantine or simply get information because Covid is sick and instead is totally abandoned to itself;
2) related to this, how to avoid spending money to cover sick days for people who are already abundantly healed but are unable to swab to certify their recovery, or who simply have to come out of quarantine periods;
3) when the vaccines to make the third doses arrive and why, given that the delay is attributable to the public structure (political or ISS) and not to the citizens, the simple reservation of the dose to obtain the Green Pass is not valid: many citizens today are expelled from a whole series of ambitions of social life through no fault of their own;
4) because a total jungle has been created in the management of the priorities of the third doses, with the result that young people have done the third dose while perhaps the over 50s, those who are most at risk of covering up and complications, have not yet managed to do it;
and many others that it would become longer.
Everything is silent, respecting the delivery of silence with which the pre-Christmas mini-crisis was resolved. Too bad the country needs answers …
