That is the issue here. They completely ignored it until people were dying in the hallways of hospitals and then implemented a draconian policy.

And now they're locking up anyone who criticizes them. See this article about "Gratitude education", a term that tops Orwell in its dystopian implications:

Italian doctors have been writing about this since ~Tuesday. There's loads of reports and newspaper articles about it. They're in full-on triage mode, and there isn't time or manpower to give people even palliative care.
