While in several countries Europe preparing for release of measures due to coronavirus, the former head of the Formula 1 team, Flavio Briatore, in conversation with Nice Rosberg, sends an emotional message from Italy.
Briatore with their 70 years belongs to the risk group itself Covid-19. "In Italy, 600 to 700 people die every day. More than 5.000 people have already died in Bergamo alone. This is crazy, really bad," so Briatorewhich warns: "Fortunately, the situation in southern Italy is less dramatic, as hospitals in this part of the country are not as good as in the north. My God, I hope nothing happens in southern Italy. Because if a virus gets to these places, it would lead to a real disaster.”Relentless businessman he showed his during this crisis the human side. "Business is not so important now. This is a human catastrophe."
"We all sit in the same boat. The enemy attacking us is invisible. I was in a hospital in Milan. Nico, you can't imagine that! People are dying in the chair, in front of your eyes. They simply faint while waiting for the doctor,”Reports Briatore. As a manager, the most important thing for him now is to keep his employees healthy. It is only in second place. "whether we will be able to start our work in the next two or three months. I don’t believe anything will change before the summer."
Nico, you can't imagine that! People are dying in the chair, in front of your eyes.
Briatore in its nightclubs and gastronomy it employs around 1.000 workers. That his bar in Dubai soon started operating, he does not believe. “Tourism is a real failure. Because at that time the philosophy was to stay away from people as much as possible. No one wants to get on a plane and sit next to another passenger."
"We cannot delete the virus, we can only keep it. That’s why we need to stay home. At the moment, it seems that the Italians have accepted this well, although it is not easy. We both live in big houses, but if you’re with two or three kids in a 40-square-foot apartment, then it’s very severe. Extremely difficult times are prevailing in Italy at that time. It's all about survival,He added Briatore and addresses his fellow citizens with with a burning call. "Not only are older people dying, but it is very severe for everyone. Four months ago, no one expected there to be no Wimbledon, no Formula 1 race. Our lives turned upside down within four months."
"I have a friend in Italy. His daughter is nine years old, as old as my son,”He recounts Briatore. "She had a virus. Even her mom, who is somewhere around 31 or 32 years old. In such situations, we must strictly adhere to the rules, not leave the apartments and stay at home. I believe, after all, this is the only way we can control this virus just like that. And yet it is very severe,”Adds the charismatic Italian.
