en.news6 years ago

Reports that coronavirus victim, Father Giuseppe Berardelli, 72, donated his respirator to a younger patient, are not true.

The story was immediately questioned on Gloria.tv by the English doctor Jeffrey Brushwood.

A speaker for Bergamo diocese, Father Giulio Dellavite, told CatholicNewsAgency.com that “there was no donated ventilator” and “there haven't been any respirators coming from outside the hospital.”

The story was made up by Araberara.it and went viral on March 23.

Wait, I thought it was that he had given up a respirator the hospital was going to put him on, in order that someone younger would be able to live. I'm sorry I can't find the original article.
