"If we look at the characteristics of the virus, so far we know that the immunity of the people of each other – which is not terrible, between 2 and 14%, which means that 85-90% is able to suffer the attack of the virus – that the virus is circulating around us, circulating much more than in January and February … I do not want to announce the end of the world, but I do want to be realistic. It is not time to be completely reassured.

The head of the European Union Disease Prevention Service, German Doctor Andre Ammon, has been alerted in this way. In other words, a second wave may not emerge, as the preventive measures taken so far are affecting it, but we are still a long way from ensuring it and if the situation is normal it is dangerous to play.

Ammon has recognised that the social distancing measures taken and the closure of companies are causing strong tensions in the sector. "We see that on the one hand there are the problems that small and medium-sized enterprises are suffering and on the other the people who suffer, because you can't go out to do physical exercise, because you don't have the freedoms that you normally have: go where you want, be with whom you want... This has been a profound change in our lives. And now, when the infection figures are coming down, people think the problem is over. And it's not over.

Ammon recognized the journalist that the authorities reacted too late, when she asked many that if they had taken action before, they would have saved her life: "I think that if we had taken these measures earlier, it would have been but... these measures are so hard, they are so far from the experience we have had so far... it seems to me, unfortunately, that we had to look at the situation in northern Italy to make it clear that they were necessary in the eyes of all."
