An adviser to Italyโs health ministry has called for coronavirus restrictions to be drastically tightened to avoid a โnational tragedyโ after the national statistics bureau ISTAT said deaths this year would be the highest since World War Two.
โWe are in a war situation, people donโt realise it but the last time we had this many deaths, bombs were dropping on our cities during the war,โ public health professor Walter Ricciardi told the television channel la7.
