Mobile clinic head insists people stay home to prevent spread of coronavirus
Michele Zasa, head of the MotoGP mobile clinic, is currently on the front line fighting the coronavirus fire in Italy. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian insists on the dangerousness of the situation and criticizes the lack of seriousness of those who avoid confinement.
« There are times when I would like to take people and put them in their homes. On the street you can always see people on the banks, walking, running. We are fighting an invisible weapon, but there are many people who do not realize it and only increase the risk of contagion »
As in Spain, the main fear in Italy is the collapse of the health system. Michael Zasa calls for solidarity and, above all, responsibility. “ The real problem now is that so many young people are starting to feel bad. They only see the human tragedy when someone is taken from their home, from their family... Italy has become a nation of joggers! Should we take them and show them the dead? It's World War III, people need to start understanding it »
According to experts, the peak of the ridge has not yet reached Italy and the number of dead and infected people continues to increase at a worrying rate despite an alarm for more than a week. The head of the Mobile Clinic admits that a situation of this caliber was not expected and that we are now paying the consequences.
«It's hard for me to see more, every figure is underestimated. There are so many asymptomatics and it's impossible to show everything. I've seen some incredible things as a doctor, but this is something else. It is a constant and very high stress, also because you have to follow very rigid processes to avoid any contact with the patient. In a very short time we found ourselves in an absolute emergency situation “, he said to finish.
