What could cause this??? What a mystery!! Why would people succum to viruses?!?!?! Inexplicable!!! If only here was a reason why so many people have weakened immune system??? No one could foresee this, also covid case number is low, don't look in this direction.
- Oh and I forgot an important one:
  There is no way this could be prevented!!!!
  
  The solution clearly is privatization.
  /S
- Italy was famously one of the EU nations that didn’t give a shit about COVID, and that’s taking into account that Europeans in general didn’t give a shit about masking in the first place.
  If only it was just a little more lethal, conservatives the world over could have had a reckoning. Oh well there’s always next time.
  
  I think we did take it more seriously than many other countries
  But yeah lots of no vaxxers still
I bet all that nazi gold in the Vatican vaults could pay for some doctors. Why does Vatican City exist anyway? How many other child molestation book clubs have their own city-states? One is already too many.
- i can think of one other...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The worst situation is in Rome and its region, where more than 1,100 patients are waiting to be admitted, according to the Italian Society of Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care (Simeu).
According to Simeu, the number of patients waiting in Piedmont has reached some 500, while in Lombardy and its capital, Milan, normal hospital admissions have been suspended in order to "free up" some beds for emergencies.
"Covid has slightly decreased in the last week, flu is spreading, but other viruses have also caused 'overcrowding' in hospitals and a very strong pressure on emergency services," De Laco explained on Tuesday, according to local media.
In fact, in the week before Christmas, from 18 to 24 December, "the influenza epidemic curve showed an incidence value never reached in previous seasons", according to the latest epidemiological bulletin from the Higher Institute of Health.
As the situation worsens, doctors are becoming exhausted and there are a number of alarming articles in the Italian press: "Hospitals on the brink" was one headline in La Repubblica.
Regional councillors from the centre-left Democratic Party, Massimiliano Valeriani and Emanuela Droghei, visited two hospitals in the capital on Tuesday, the Umberto I and Sant'Andrea polyclinics, where they found a "very complex" situation due to the "large number of patients".
The original article contains 533 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hey I've seen that one before!
