June 04, 2020 "I won't explain it, it's a 'sporting' attitude towards the virus. It's madness." So in Agorà, on Rai3, Andrea Crisanti, director of Microbiology and Virology at the University of Padua, about who denies the existence of Covid. And commenting on the words of Alberto Zangrillo in which he said that "the coronavirus no longer exists clinically", he added: "If Zangrillo had gone to Vo 'Euganeo the first week of January he would have said that the virus did not exist clinically and then he would have seen what he did ... We still don't understand this virus well, we don't understand why there are such a high number of asymptomatics and we don't understand why at a certain point, reaching a critical threshold, people begin to get so seriously ill and with such devastating consequences. " And he concluded: "At the moment there is little transmission, but it does not mean that there is no danger. There is no zero risk at this moment".Austria does well to give itself the right criteria to reopen
"Austria has risked like us and has done well" not to reopen to Italy. Because there are still a lot of cases. "Italy should also make distinctions." We should be careful towards the USA and South America ". And" also on European countries we should make differences, establish criteria "as to example measure the temperature, "make the swab and make sure that you are traceable, and if you are positive stay in isolation. It's not that everything can be re-opened like this. "
The virus already present in January
" We did three types of tests, the swab, the serological test and the medical analysis of the whole population. As for the swab, we confirm that there are no new positive cases. The serological test, on the other hand, revealed some very interesting surprises: there are an important number of people who were doing well on the first sampling on February 25 and who now have antibodies. Therefore, about 5% of the population of Vo 'Euganeo has antibodies and this allows us to date the entry of the virus from the first / second week of January. "
Immune App
The Immune App" as it is conceived and with the levels of case identification I think it has a very low impact. To have an impact it should be downloaded by 90% of Italians ".
