Covid, Bassetti: “A real health dictatorship in China”

“This is a real health dictatorship”. Professor Matteo Bassetti thus expresses himself on the measures that China is adopting in Shanghai to stem the spread of the covid. The images of the centers where thousands of people are isolated are bouncing on social networks. The city is in the throes of a severe lockdown. “I think the Chinese are making a huge mistake on a medical and scientific level. Aiming to zero covid with the Omicron variant is impossible. It is clear that there is also something different about health management. This is a real health dictatorship and the very serious mistake committed 35 years ago with HIV is being made. The stigma of the virus is being created, if you are positive you must be locked up in a structure that has nothing civil ”, he adds to Mattino 5.“ You see scenes that I hope will be condemned by our politicians. There is nothing scientific, it is just a display of strength ”.
