From Galli to Ricciardi, social hunt for ‘closurists’ who no longer speak

There are those who have not commented on the epidemiological situation for months, such as Walter Ricciardi, and those for less time because they are “in press silence” such as the virologist Massimo Galli who has announced, however, that he will be speaking again on television this evening. With the improvement of the pandemic situation, the experts who have always been cautious about reopening (Ricciardi, Galli, Nino Cartabellotta of the Gimbe Foundation and also the virologist Andrea Crisanti who, however, has always continued to externalize their positions) are targeted by social networks, where many ask for explanations of past statements. A real ‘hunt’ for the wary expert on the decrease in Covid-19 cases, to ask for extremely cautious positions on reopening, curfew, Italy’s return to the yellow zone and the dangers of ‘calculated risk’ launched by Draghi in the press conference announcing the reopening of 26 April. “Hello Professor Galli, today is May 25, the date of your pronouncement on reopening and on the ‘badly calculated risk’. We would like to have your #think in light of the current numbers. If Walter Ricciardi and Crisanti also wanted to join, welcome “, writes Alessandro Mella on Twitter. “Galli, Crisanti, Ricciardi and the dancing company are all in the press? In fact, I haven’t had pimples for ten days now and my appetite and sexual desire have also improved”, adds one user. Then there are those who post a photo of a cappuccino at the bar commenting: “Galli, be calm! Crisanti, be serene W freedom”. Politics, too, was no stranger to the game of flushing out the epidemiologists and virologists who were against the reopening. Claudio Borghi della Lega always on Twitter posts a graph with the data of cases and hospitalizations in descent, with a comment that leaves no way out to the experts: “Crazy! With the reopenings the infections will start again! The lockdown is necessary! Stop living immediately! ! (Words and music by Galli, Cartabellotta and Crisanti) “.
