Some old people died in the struggle after pulling out straws.
Italy's misery goes far beyond this.
On March 25th, Italian media reported that a 34-year-old female nurse committed suicide in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Monza, Lombardy, Italy. Before her death, she was diagnosed with COVID-19 virus. She is the second anti-epidemic nurse who committed suicide and witnessed too many horrible deaths.
It is reported that since COVID-19, more than 5,000 medical staff have been infected by COVID-19, and more than 400 medical staff have died. Infected medical staff account for about 9% of the total number of medical staff in Italy; It's really sad.
George Varotti, mayor of Chena, under the jurisdiction of bergamo Province, died in COVID-19. He was the first Italian government official to die in the line of duty. Varotti, who is over 70 years old, has been personally arranging patients to see a doctor, commanding the front line of anti-epidemic, and unfortunately infected.
Unfortunately, I was infected with the Italian mayor Giorgio Varotti who died in the line of duty.
Italy's Bergamo province is the hardest hit. An old man complained that all the 75-80-year-old people in a village died, and some people died without even coffins. The death knell rings all day. Because so many people died, the local crematorium had to be pulled far away for cremation.
Alas, Italy!
The lesson of Italy is painful, as are Spain, the United States, Germany, France and Britain.
Academician Zhong Nanshan, an expert from China, said: The most serious period of COVID-19 infection is during the onset of the infected person.
European countries have paid a heavy price for their so-called freedom without masks. Wow, I hope COVID-19 will awaken the sleeping arrogance in Europe and America!
The epidemic in Italy is really serious. A medium-sized country with a population of only 60 million has more than 80,000 confirmed cases. At present, Italy is still the country with the worst epidemic in the world. Moreover, Italy is also the country with the highest epidemic mortality, with the recent mortality rate as high as 10% and the death toll as high as 82 15. Now, COVID-19 kills 65,438+0 people almost every two minutes.
There are two main reasons for the high mortality rate in Italy, namely, the aging population and the lack of timely treatment for a large number of patients. In Italy, the elderly over 60 years old account for 28.6% of the total population, and many elderly people have one or more basic diseases themselves, and their immunity is low. Once these old people are infected with COVID-19 virus, their condition will develop rapidly, and if they are not treated in time, their lives will be in danger. Therefore, according to the physical condition of the elderly, priority should indeed be given to diagnosis and treatment.
However, in practice, due to the shortage of hospital beds and the serious shortage of medical resources in Italy, medical staff were forced to make a difficult choice, that is, to save people with high survival rate first. What kind of people have a high survival rate? Young patients, of course. This actually excludes many elderly patients. The older you get, the less likely you are to receive treatment. So most of the deaths in Italy are elderly people.
Some people think that Italy is a bit cruel to do so? But there is really no choice. In fact, many Italian infected people died at home before they were diagnosed. For example, in the northern Italian town of Bergamo, 75% of the infected people died without waiting for diagnosis, let alone going to the hospital. In Bergamo, the funeral department receives 10 funeral service calls every hour. It can be seen that the Italian medical system simply can't bear so many patients, so it can only be treated selectively.
Like Italy, there are too many people in the United States who need testing, and there is a serious shortage of testing equipment and testing supplies. What should we do? America chooses to test the rich first, and the poor who have no money back. This incident caused great dissatisfaction among the poor. They questioned, hasn't the United States always advocated equality for all? How can the rich get a chance to save their lives at a critical moment, while the poor have to wait for death? ! Someone reported this to the president, who responded, "Maybe this is life."
It can be seen that Italy and the United States are both western countries, and their ways of doing things are judged by their own values, and then they make choices. Their so-called equality for all is just a propaganda slogan. When many people face death threats, western countries first protect those who they think are valuable, such as the young and the rich. Young people are the hope of the future, and the rich are capable people. Even the president of the United States agrees with this.
Italy chooses whether to save the old or stay young according to their values. In addition, the actual practice in Italy has clearly answered this question.
Seeing the high epidemic situation in Europe and America, Italy added more than 6,000 cases today, which really worried them. This figure is worrying in our big country with a population of 654.38+0.4 billion. Just think about the situation in Wuhan. When the Wuhan new number dropped to three figures, we felt a stone that had been on our minds for a long time, and suddenly fell down. High five.
Italy has a population of 60 million, and Hubei Province has a population of 60 million. I think Italy is worse now than Hubei at its worst. Because Hubei is backed by the vast hinterland of the great motherland, it needs people and things. As long as each family carries it behind closed doors, what about Italy? Island. The little brothers around the European Union are busy as a bee, and no one can rely on them.
It can rely on China now. The problem is that it is not our Hubei province after all. We can't send an inspection team to check, nor can we send a group of aunts to their street to stop them from leaving their homes. They don't care, don't worry, don't prevent, don't control, and God can't help it.
Only send a medical team, no cure, no rescue.
Is isolation that hard? Is it that hard not to go out? Is it so difficult to wear a mask? ! Is it so difficult to sacrifice freedom for life? !
Seeing the doctor's painful choice of which one to put on the ventilator, as far away in the East, we feel the same, and our hearts are broken. Who is not old? How desperate and sad it is to be eliminated and abandoned by these children when you are old?
A generation, a month, gone. They all went to heaven, and there was no pain in heaven.
Although Italy has got rid of the country with the largest number of confirmed infections in COVID-19, it is still the country with the largest number of pneumonia deaths in COVID-19. Worryingly, more than 9,000 Italians have died because of COVID-19, which is terrible. It is wrong to say that a whole generation of old people died of illness. At least some young people died of illness. Among these 9,000 people, the elderly account for a large proportion, but middle-aged people, young people and even children also account for a certain proportion.
The area of Italy is equivalent to two Henan provinces, and the epidemic situation in Italy is far more serious than ours, while the population of Italy is not as large as that in Anhui Province, about 60.54 million. Italy is a very aging country. According to the data provided by the Counsellor's Office of the Ministry of Commerce, the number of elderly people over 65 in Italy has reached 23%, about13.92 million, so the subject's statement is very problematic.
In any country, anywhere, the elderly are old, in poor health and poor immunity. Once infected, they face great risks. However, it needs to be clear that the mortality rate in COVID-19 is actually not high. In other words, some old people can survive after being infected. A typical example is Brazilian President Bolsonaro. On March 13, the media reported that he was infected with COVID-19, but he denied it. Today, there are video media reports that he was diagnosed with little information. It should be noted here that Bolsonaro is 65 years old. Of course, it is not excluded that the Italian version of COVID-19 is different from the version of COVID-19 infected by the Brazilian President, and COVID-19 is constantly changing. According to Fu Xun, many 65-year-olds have retired. Because of poor health and rampant virus, they will take more care of their bodies. In theory, there are still more uncles and aunts.
Young people are more susceptible to infection because of their work and contempt for the virus. Because people don't always flow intermittently, viruses naturally spread continuously. Young people are often in isolation, or after proper treatment, they can recover quickly. Although Italy is an aging society, young people are easily infected and spread, and there will be a considerable proportion of young patients. A large number of young people are infected, and some people have poor immunity. If they are not treated in time, there will be critically ill patients. Faced with a large number of crazy infected patients, Italian medical resources often have a painful choice. When the old and the young are dying, should we save the old or keep the young?
Life and death are the most important things for human beings. Saving the old or keeping the young is a difficult choice and a painful decision. No one can hesitate painfully. If you hesitate for too long, there will be a greater tragedy. You won't be old or young then. Doctors in a hospital in Milan, Lombardy, the hardest hit area in Italy, said: In the choice between saving the old and keeping the young, only those who have less moral burden in making decisions can choose to save the young.
This question is not absolute. The principle of treating COVID-19 patients in Italian hospitals is to use medical resources on those who have the best chance of survival. Those who are in poor health and have diseases that are difficult to treat can only give up reluctantly, not just by looking at their age. Of course, from the health point of view, young people are in better health and have a greater chance of maintaining a small family. This cold and helpless choice is related to the aging society in Italy.
Life is the most precious thing for people. Life is only once for everyone. It's good to say something to Leonardo da Vinci on my deathbed. Leonardo da Vinci was the first of the three outstanding figures in the Renaissance. He said, "You can die happily without wasting your life, just as you can sleep peacefully without wasting a day!" "
An old Spanish woman, whose husband was diagnosed with COVID-19, had no bed and had to wait. But when there was an empty bed, the doctor left it to a 44-year-old man. The old lady cried bitterly and called the government unfair.
The rapid increase in the number of patients in COVID-19 has overwhelmed the Spanish and Italian medical systems, and the situation in Italy is the worst, with 80,589 confirmed patients and 82 15 deaths, and the mortality rate has exceeded 10%. Medical supplies are insufficient, front-line medical staff are not fully protected, more than 4,800 medical staff are infected, medical supplies are insufficient, and medical staff are understaffed. Italy and Spain have to. There are too many bodies in Bergamo, Italy, to be cremated, and even need to be pulled out of the city by military vehicles for burning. Hospitals in Italy and Spain are crowded with patients waiting for beds. Between elderly patients and young patients, doctors can only choose the latter, and Spain takes 65 as the boundary. Patients over the age of 65 can basically die after being diagnosed. Because of the patient's choice, the elderly can't get treatment. Therefore, the elderly in Italy and Spain pay special attention to preventing the spread of the epidemic. In the video, they scold young people who are still shopping, partying and not wearing masks.
It is helpless to give priority to rescuing young people, because the elderly have weak resistance and high mortality, while young people generally have strong resistance and are easier to be cured. And from the perspective of human nature, people will also give priority to saving young patients. European and American countries are aging seriously, and they have to pay large pensions every year. Young people can also create wealth, and from an economic point of view, young people will be given priority.
If Italy wants to contain the epidemic and does not make multiple-choice questions, it must implement strong isolation measures, otherwise the number of patients will continue to increase. If the situation worsens, I'm afraid even young people have no chance to be treated.
Old people do account for a large proportion of deaths in Italy, but that is not to give up their treatment, but because the old people's physical immunity is low, which leads to an increase in mortality. This has been confirmed when Wuhan broke out. The elderly are more likely to be infected with COVID-19 virus, and they will get sick soon after infection. Once the treatment is not in place in time, it is easy to develop into a critical illness until death.
On the question of saving the old or the young, I think this matter should not be considered purely from the perspective of value, but from the perspective of life. In the face of life, regardless of age, it is worthy of respect. Let's give a simple example. For example, a young man died trying to help an old man who fell into the water. Do you think this matter is valuable? Its value is life first, spirit first, and it can't be seen from the value alone. Of course, under the premise of no choice, I think we should treat them equally. Whoever goes to see a doctor has been saved for a long time, regardless of age, but when we have to make a choice, we can consider some value factors to see which is more meaningful.
Italian Congressman Bellodi
Italy has no choice but to give priority to rescuing critically ill patients aged 40 to 50. This measure began ten days ago. In the face of the fierce epidemic and countless cold bodies that lost their lives, Italians immersed in great grief can only do so in order to minimize the losses.
/kloc-Bergamo town, with a population of 0/0.2 million, is called "corpse town" by the outside world. Of the five patients who died, only one was in the hospital, and the rest were waiting at home, because there were not so many beds and medical staff in the hospital. Public cemeteries, churches and hospital morgues have all been turned into temporary morgues, and the local government dispatched military vehicles to drag the bodies to other places for cremation. Most of the deceased were elderly people with low immunity. After this epidemic, Italy will lose a whole generation.
In addition to the disinfection of epidemic prevention personnel, the city streets are deserted, losing the songs and laughter of the past.
On the evening of 25th local time, the Italian Senate and House of Representatives passed a special epidemic prevention bill, which will officially become a national law. The bill stipulates that except for health problems, work or special circumstances, no one is allowed to leave his place of residence and no one is allowed to move. This is the most severe "home court order" in Italian history. Violators will be fined between 3,000 and 5,000 euros, and in severe cases, they will be sentenced to at least 3 months' imprisonment or even arrested and sentenced. As a so-called "liberal democracy" European country, doing this step is tantamount to burning your bridges and fighting the virus to the death.
By 22: 00 on March 27th, there were 80,589 confirmed cases in COVID-19, with 82 15 deaths, and the mortality rate has exceeded 10%. Bergamo Mayor Giorgio Gori once said that 75% of patients died at home without diagnosis. More sadly, in the process of treating patients, 6,205 medical workers were infected and 39 people were killed. Bellodi, an Italian parliamentarian, burst into tears when he spoke, thanking all those who never gave up their resistance and saying that he would never give up hope.
As of the morning of March 27th 12, 80,589 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in Italy, of which 82 cases died15, with a mortality rate as high as 10.2%!
The reason for this situation is that Italy has a large elderly population, and the degree of aging is second only to Japan in the world. The elderly over 65 account for 22.5% of the total population, and the elderly over 60 account for 28.6% of the total population. Italy has a total population of more than 60 million, and the total elderly population is as high as 6.5438+0.7 million.
Poor immunity of the elderly will naturally become COVID-19's main goal. Moreover, as Italy is in the outbreak period, the number of patients in COVID-19 has soared, and its national medical system is overloaded and overwhelmed. Many elderly COVID-19 patients can't get timely treatment, so they can only get seriously ill at home. In the end, they are waiting for rows of coffins, not beds.
According to the overseas students in Italy, the ambulance horns are heard from morning till night in his place, and there are obviously fewer people on the street than before, and there are obviously more people wearing masks.
There is a saying that you don't look back until you hit the south wall. This time Italy hit a wall, which was very tragic, and the epidemic continued to spread. At this time, it is difficult for the medical system to receive a large number of patients in time, so it can only choose.
Should we save the young or the old first? This is a difficult choice that no medical staff wants to face, but the epidemic will not wait for people. At this time, we must make a choice, and the Italian medical system generally decides to treat young people first, because young people have strong resistance and can leave the hospital quickly, which can quickly free up beds for elderly patients and improve the utilization rate of medical resources.
Coincidentally, European countries such as Spain also choose to treat young people first in the face of too many patients. There is no way. If they have enough ability, I believe that any hospital in any country will not give up any COVID-19 patients, so there is no morality here. Choosing the most efficient rescue plan is the greatest kindness!
The epidemic is ruthless. I believe that Italy will be able to tide over the difficulties. Come on!
Tell the truth, tell the truth, no nonsense, no rhetoric. Let's say something that everyone can understand today. Hello, everyone, I'm your headmaster.
As we all know, Italy is currently affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, with a high mortality rate. Basically, one person in 10 died after diagnosis. In this case, how should we choose?
Some people think that the elderly are aging, but children are the flowers of the future and should make choices. However, under the influence of the epidemic, this role is useless, because the virus will not choose the elderly to invade, but protect children.
Under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, we have once again seen the laws of nature. In the face of nature, we have to adapt to nature and the environment, and manpower has no choice at all.
This shows that it is very unlikely that human beings will change natural conditions at present. Although there is artificial rainfall, although there is the ideal of becoming rich and moving to Mars, although we are all fighting the epidemic at present, we actually know very little about COVID-19.
Therefore, in the absence of an effective vaccine, what we can do is to go all out and actively cooperate with experts for prevention and control.
Especially under the influence of this epidemic, we see that the United States, which has always been the boss, has also bowed its knees, so all greatness is insignificant in front of nature.
Although we can see that in March, the United States and China announced that pneumonia vaccine, a new official, had entered clinical trials, so far, no reliable drugs have been obtained to solve the related pneumonia.
That is to say, in this case, choosing to stay old or stay young is actually a nonsense. In the private environment, there is no doubt that the survival of the fittest.
Simply put, people with strong resistance have the right to live, and those with weak resistance face greater risks, and no one can decide who stays.
Generally speaking, under the influence of the epidemic, the laws of nature will never change, that is to say, they live with the tide and die against it. In this case, the manpower is minimal, especially under the influence of this epidemic, we can see more clearly and thoroughly.
We in China respect the old and love the young, but what does Italy pay attention to?
The ancient family is a fortune! Teenagers and children are the hope of the family and the future of the country. No one can live without it, but sometimes no one can save it! This is a great disaster for the family and a great misfortune for the country.
A country that pursues human rights blindly, if it didn't listen to advice, it's too late to regret it!
From the perspective of Italy's aging population, it is better to protect hope and the future! Do old people think so?
