Patient at risk
The daily “Corriere Della Sera” emphasizes on Wednesday that the age and past diseases of Pope Francis make the current situation complicated and he is a risk group.
The cited pneumologist Professor Sergio Harari from the hospital in Milan explained that the fact that bronchitis is in the initial phase means that it is not yet known to what extent the lungs will be attacked. “You have to wait,” said the interlocutor “Corriere della Sera”.

“La Repubblica” also writes about anxiety about the Pope, emphasizing that his condition has deteriorated. As this Roman diary notes, within five days of hospitalization, the mood in the Vatican changed from optimism to anxiety. The newspaper adds that pneumonia was not found when Francis was admitted to the hospital, which means that his condition deteriorated gradually.
“La Repubblica” notes that within five days three therapy was made and estimates that medical messages indicate growing problems. “There is obvious fear that does not quench hope, but confirms that the pope's health is not good,” he emphasizes.
Professor Massimo Andreoni, scientific director of the Italian Association of Infectious Diseases, admitted in an interview with the journal that the infection found at the Pope is serious, but also reassures that his heart is healthy.

Wishes and drawings
“The world is worried about the Pope” – this title is published by “La Stamp”. He notes that the children staying in the Oncology Department of the Gemelli polyclinics sent to the Pope letters and drawings with wishes, prayers and support. “Forza Papa Francesco” – wrote one of the little patients wishing strength.
“Il Giornale”, informing about pneumonia, emphasizes that it was a diagnosis that was most afraid of. The daily notes that also when it was officially informed about the “complex” clinical condition, the Pope worked in the hospital, and his secretaries rode between the Vatican and the polyclinic to provide him with documents.
The daily “Il Messaggero” also informs that the Pope “manages” from the hospital. He cites the opinion that the next hours will be decisive, because there is also a risk of failure of other organs.
