The news was given by the councilor for health of the Lazio Region Alessio D'Amato after a start that did not see him at all happy. His region registered 50 new positive cases in one day, 18 of which from a single outbreak due to the participation of four families in the same funeral. A false step that angers, trust in citizens - except in rare cases, irreproachable - disregarded by levies that you don't even have the heart to blame out loud (if the dear departed had been yours? Wouldn't you have done everything to greet him?) in short, that of D'Amato, who obviously wanted to keep the good for the finale. Here it is then, from his own words:

It is with great joy that we learned from the ASL of Rieti about the healing of a 104-year-old grandmother. The woman is a guest of the Santa Lucia Institute of Rieti and has been negativized. We extend our best wishes to her for a prompt and complete recovery and thanks go to the sisters and all the health workers who have lovingly and professionally assisted her during this period.

Not bad, huh? There is now no need to speculate on the weakening of the viral strain, nor to let our guard down or feel authorized to attend clan funerals. But the case of congratulating ourselves on the temper of our grandparents is. Just last week we told you about Giovanna, Giacomina and Antonina, centenary grandmothers photomodels in Sardinia. Together on the posters of their municipality for a nice awareness campaign. It is certainly comforting to know that our ancestors are so sensitive, but it is quite exciting to be able to believe them strong too. The news that comes to us from Santa Lucia di Rieti, kept warm by the councilor D'Amanto, gives us the power to believe. That we are stronger than what scares us so much. To the health of the granny from Rieti then. And ours.
