Rewinding the tape and talking about those dramatic hours is not easy. The father takes a breath and tries, starting from the beginning: “My son started feeling ill on the evening of December 23rd, as did his six and a half year old sister. Both had vomiting, fever and stomach ache, as happens to many children in this period. And in fact, when we went to the emergency room the first time, there were other children in those conditions: it was December 24th and they sent us home only giving us supplements. 'Don't worry, they have nothing, it's the flu' they told us.”

Utterly heartbreaking and the list just gets longer and longer. I can say that traffic accidents here in Italy are rocketing. Strangely, a lot of them involve ambulances and buses , (all who had to have the shot or else lose their jobs ). I fear very much that things are not going to get better any time soon. 😟 I'm actually worried when I drive now.
