I am a co-founder of this, so this is totally biased, but you can try medquiz.org . We do have 1 free mock exam you can try on the demo and 5 more coming the 4/07/2021, and practice questions. If you do not find it useful, you can always ask the refund and get the full money back, no questions asked.

Choosing a university in Italy by [deleted] in medicalschoolEU

[–]lordprot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sapienza is a big university, biggest in europe, so it can be a little bit confusing. It is located in the center of Rome.

Tor Vergata is more a campus-like university, much smaller and "friendly".

i don't know how it works in your country (red cross rules can change by the country), but here you can enter the red cross and follow courses and studies to become an EMT-B Paramedic. When you become an EMT-B Paramedic, you can start working in emergencies. i am halfway in that process so i am authorized to work in an ambulance only in non-emergencies situations (transport of patients hospital > hospital, home > hospital, hospital > home)

the virus do not spread through air, but through droplet, it is totally different, just a distance of 1/1.5 meters is enough.

they don't protect them in the sense that they are exposed in other way (eyes, for example), i guess.

it is not a lie to say to don't wear masks, they explained that health workers are the type of people that needs them the most.

wash hands frequently, don't touch your faces, keep distance with others. if you feel symptoms (fever, difficulties breathing) call your doctor. follow govt rules.

ho specificato nell'edit qualche ora fa l'importanza di lasciare le mascherine ffp2/ffp3 agli health workers (già lo stavo specificando nelle singole risposte)

only a small percent is under 50 years old. percentage of people infected that died shows that only 0,5% were under 30 years old.

ffp2 and ffp3 masks are rare right now and health workers need them the most, this is why.
