Sure yes and that long as you know is the 2nd region horse to buy on a virus in spain st after madrid that has become the epicenter of the epidemic and they have to reach a debt of one 1100. 00 these figures keep increasing and today we will with this document being leaked to the spanish media where the Catalonia Health service has said that they indicate the product will to follow once the Healthcare Service is over well so the particle to follow is. Says that they have to limit d. F. Or Team Patients over 80 years old and people that have worse chances of surviving and over the ones that can benefit in terms of saved years so health out or it is are really angry with this document be illegal and they completely deny. The use of this document in terms of the train of thought for these Spanish Health authorities there was a thought they might do what the french have done in terms of moving people out of the epi centers of the virus problem to other roads in spain where the medical facilities could take care of them whats the thoughts now on the move. Well we saw how Health Ministry greenlighted that opportunity that that that. Because we like to the possibility sorry of moving or transporting. Patients from one region to the other especially from from a dream in which you know weve seen how these you use these i have been completely overwhelmed and they couldnt call us all they were built all these hospitals these Field Hospitals to cope with the situation and now they have greenlighted the possibility of transporting patients from one region to the other they dont know that means that are going to medicalize trains like i did in france or they will the the army forces that were the ones taking them from one place to the other so we need to wait and see how things develop or what happens next you that you have to remember that today exceeded the 100000 cases of course of virus with an increase of 7719 of cases less than yesterday joe yesterday the percentage increase so still things are not very clear so we have to wait a little bit and if not a hurdle in madrid thanks very much. Lets get more on whats happening in italy where more than 12000 people have died francesco again beth tony is live for us in milan and good to have you with us well obviously we can see whats going on in france and in spain in terms of the elderly and the issues that are being raised there how are those issues being noticed and discussed in italy by the government or those people in charge that would look after care homes. Well its not easy to say how theyre discussing we of course were not seeing as citizens and journalists that something is not working because in a new krises is emerging in the last days in old peoples homes mostly in lumber the here in the north where huge numbers of guests are dying without being tested for a current virus there are more cases in a retirement home in province of milan for example 62. 00 out of 150 guests died from the beginning of march its way more than usual were only 2 or 3 people die in this place but its impossible to know exactly if de died for a current virus or not because they were not tested most of them were not tested so families in the region are very worried and cannot see the relatives that are isolated in structures with medical workers and managers of these kind of facilities recently sent a letter to the to the what were the region managers to ask for more help operators of people homes in your estimate 600 deaths in the last 20 days so the 10 percent of the total guests there has been no public response at the moment for this kind of crisis but of course in the next how hours in the next days the government has to Say Something about this to francesca if you like the rest of us are journalists observing whats happening unfolding in our respective countries in your opinion does the italian infrastructure have the capacity at this present moment in time so overstretched looking after the whole country to even check peoples homes and care facilities. I think at the moment. This is very difficult. Building new hospitals every week. Looking for new places for people that really need immediately care to survive like those in i. C. U. Its hard to admit some people are. Left behind a lot of people are dying at home without being tested in these facilities to its never been explicitly said but i think im not the only one. Here is happening the same thing that is happening in spain since a lot of time. If you are old very old and you dont have many chances to survive. In the 1st line to go to the hospital because there is someone else that has more chances than you and probably you risk more you can die at home or in those those kind of of places like old peoples home so its very tough to see to admit probably the government will never say that this is really happening but actually we have all the elements to say. Medical workers are already choosing who is the 1st to be saved and who is 2nd. Only thanks for joining us.
