Covid, Zangrillo: “Symptoms and negative buffer? Obsessive paranoia”

“Obsessive paranoia”. Back to talk about Covid and tampons Alberto Zangrillo, Vice Rector of the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan and director of the Anesthesia and Intensive Care Department of the Irccs San Raffaele hospital. The specialist posted on Twitter a screenshot of an online news that summarizes a much discussed topic in these days in which the country is grappling with a summer wave of infections sustained by highly transmissible Omicron sub-variants, such as Omicron 5: “Covid, I have symptoms but the swab is negative: why? “, this is the title. Zangrillo has no doubts in the answer, stamping the debate with two words: “obsessive paranoia”. Asked by Adnkronos Salute, he further clarifies the meaning of the message: “We must stop talking about Covid – he concludes – and restore the rules of common sense as soon as possible”. In recent days, the expert had always intervened via Twitter also on the node of asymptomatic positives: “It happens that serial workers, positive for the Covid-19 test, do not work for weeks, although asymptomatic. Thus the country is destroyed”, he wrote, raising a reflection on the problem of insulation.
