More masks outdoors: right caution or “sign of psychosis”

“Today in Milan 9 out of 10 people still wear masks outdoors and this, for me, is not a sign of responsibility but of worrying collective psychosis, the daughter of ignorance, disinformation and irrationality”. Alberto Zangrillo he doesn’t mince words. The director of the Anesthesia and Intensive Care Department of the San Raffaele hospital speaks of psychosis while the masks are still worn outdoors.

«Go back to normality it means to cure everyone, it means to return to the simpler values ​​of humanity, the first of which is to allow the sick person to see their relatives but, above all, to stop swabbing the first line of fever “added the Vice Rector of the Vita University -Health San Raffaele in Milan.

Zangrillo is also the doctor that already after the end of the first wave he spoke of normalization and had said that the virus was clinically dead. Given the successive waves, that wasn’t all that true.

He is of a different opinion Andrea Gori, Head of Infectious Diseases of the Polyclinic Hospital of Milan. His opinion is reported by Republic. «Today, fortunately, the epidemiological framework allows us to be without masks outdoors and we are all happy about this, but from here to say that there is a collective psychosis because people still wear masks outdoors, well, we miss them. It would be better to avoid slogans and keep a scientific attitude in the face of everything that has happened ».

And also in the face of a future that could bring new variants. Andrea Ammondirector of the European Center for Diseases, on Rai Radio1 he explained: “The pandemic is not over. This Covid is likely to stay with us. Omicron is not necessarily the last variant we see. If you want to achieve a reduction in contagiousness, you need to keep them in places where there is no distance, therefore indoors. Then the mask in my opinion is not an invasive measure ».
