An Italian doctor is accused of killing COVID-19 patients with lethal doses of anesthetic to free up bed space at the height of the pandemic. His name is Carlo Mosca, 47, and he was the head of accident and emergency at Montichiari Hospital near Brescia, Lombardy. The hospital was overwhelmed by the massive coronavirus outbreak in Italy in March 2020.

Anesthetics were available so that coronavirus patients could be intubated, but if a patient given the drug wasn’t intubated they would sophisticate to death. The doctor left the patients to die naturally they could be in the hospital bed of weeks to a month. The injection could free up a bed immediately for the constants stream of patients needing hem.

An anonymous complaint against Mosca from late April included a WhatsApp text which read: “I am not in favor of killing patients just because he wants to free up beds” and a reply from a colleague that said: “I agree with you, he’s crazy,” according to The Times.

The doctor is accused of killing at least two patients, Natale Bassi, 61, who died on March 20, 2020 and 80-year-old Angelo Paletti who died two days later. Mosca has also been accused of faking health records with court documents saying it was done to “make the patient appear terminal and therefore not arouse suspicion,” the Daily Mail reported. The doctor is currently under house arrest at his home in Mantua and a further three deaths are also being investigated, the Mirror noted.

According to The Sun and Newsweek, who cited local reports, a birthday party thrown for a pet cat in Chile led to a COVID-19 outbreak that infected over a dozen people. The super spreader birthday party for the feline took place in the town of Santo Domingo, and all ten guests tested positive for COVID-19 afterwards. The attendees also infected five additional family members and friends.

“When I heard it was a cat’s birthday party, I thought it was a joke — that they were probably trying to hide something,” said Francisco Álvarez, the regional health secretary for Valparaíso, according to the Daily Mail.

“We have corroborated it with at least six of the 15 [infected] people who told us the same thing,” he added. Álvarez stated that he was surprised to know people are continuing to have social gatherings despite warnings and restrictions from authorities. The CDC labeled Chili as a dangerous travel destination. Of course a far more dangerous travel destination is the United States of America.

On Twitter Álvarez said, “An essential part of democracy is that no one is exempt form complying with the law, and that no one cam behave as if they are above it.” This is a lesson that our former POTUS has yet to learn.
