Zangrillo: “Too much covid on the media, how to create panic”

Alberto Zangrillo returns to attack the media which, according to him, create panic by talking too much about covid. “In the face of these real numbers, dedicating the first 6 pages of the Corriere to Covid-19 is equivalent, in my opinion, to creating panic”, writes the director of the Anesthesia and Intensive Care Department of the Irccs San Raffaele hospital in Milan in a Twitter post. Zangrillo also publishes an image with the numbers of covid accesses to the San Raffaele emergency room in the week just ended: 11 total accesses, 100% unvaccinated with an average age of 36 years, 8 discharged and 3 hospitalized with an average age of 63 years. Already in recent days, in an interview with Adnkronos Salute, Zangrillo expressed his thoughts on the point: “The media fell in love with the Covid trend”, he said on that occasion, underlining that in Italy “there is a enormous responsibility of those who communicate: for any character looking for an author it is enough to talk about one of the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet and he finds himself a scientist. Don’t worry, though: out of 100 people who speak daily in the media, perhaps one has seen in the eyes the disease “. Zangrillo then concluded: “Frightening people with alarming tones should be sanctioned”.
