247 – The period after the Christmas holidays heralds the resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic amid a feeling of general exhaustion, reports the column of journalist Mônica Bergamo in Folha de S.Paulo.
After the fall in the number of hospitalizations due to the coronavirus in September and the beginning of the relocation of beds for other diseases, the Hospital das Clínicas, which only receives serious cases, is already preparing for a possible explosion of cases in January, says Eloisa Bonfá .
“It is as if the soldier had come out of the war and we already had to recruit again,” says Eloisa about his category. “The trenches are being prepared so that, if it happens, we can give an answer that is good for São Paulo.” “People are exhausted. The great support that society can give us now is to take care of ourselves. We are not talking about isolation, but about care, removal, wearing a mask. This will make a difference until the vaccine arrives. “
The Hospital das Clínicas is made up of eight institutes. With the arrival of the virus, the Central Institute adapted exclusively for Covid-19 cases. Of the 2,400 beds, about 500 are reserved for patients who have been diagnosed with the disease. Since March 30, 6,000 people have been treated at the site.
The doctor is categorical in saying that no epidemic, not even the H1N1 epidemic, can compare to the challenge imposed by Covid-19. “They don’t even come close to what we’re experiencing right now,” he says. “At [vírus] H1N1, I remember that we thought we did a heroic act by installing ten ICU beds in 24 hours ”.
She says that Brazilians must understand their social responsibility. “People drink and eat like nothing and then they still find their father, grandfather,” he says. “We are moving towards a figure that is increasing as if it were the first wave. That, to me, is a nightmare. “
The doctor says that the Hospital das Clínicas does not use chloroquine and is betting on the vaccine to fight the pandemic. “It is necessary to convince the population to adhere to immunization.” Vaccines are subject to extremely strict international protocols. Any vaccine should be welcome. “” If there is something that unites health, life and economy, it is the vaccine. If we have a vaccine, lives will be saved, unemployment will decrease and shops and restaurants will open. “
