Covid, Aifa president: “Learning a lesson for the next pandemic”

From the “pandemic” of covid “we should have learned how to deal with the next pandemic, because the next will happen: we are altering the planet, we are violating ecological niches, with environmental contamination, massive crops, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, intensive farming”. This was stated by Giorgio Palù, president of Aifa who spoke at the event ‘Public and private health: how to restart’, healthcare talk by RCS Academy. Palù underlined, among the problems of managing this pandemic in progress, the limits of information, with an ‘infodemic bulimia’ and “too many experts”, “self-defined virologists” as well as the need for “trained interviewers” who “know how to choose the interlocutors “. Palù then explained the need, to prevent the next pandemics, to invest in research and organize a response through a structure consisting not only of health experts (from virologists to epidemiologists) but also “physicists, mathematicians, bioethicists, because we have seen that the pandemic has hit us all “, he concluded.
