Epidemiologist: We have never seen an epidemic like this with so many sick and dead

I can’t say we’re in a state of emergency. We are in a pandemic situation. There is a difference in definitions. Infectious diseases carry incredible medical, social and economic weight, and in a pandemic, all of this is absolutely emphasized. For me, everything that the National General Staff does really works. Another question is whether the measures are being met. I had never seen an epidemic like this, a pandemic situation with so many sick and dead. This was said by Prof. Dr. Yordanka Stoilova, Head of the Department “Epidemiology and Disaster Medicine” in MU-Plovdiv, in front of Nova TV.

I will not say if the coronavirus will disappear. We characterize vaccines with two things. First, they must be immunologically effective. That means immunizing 100 people, 95 to build immunity. The second thing we are pursuing is epidemiological efficacy. It also expresses itself in something difficult: how to get more than 90-95 percent of the population vaccinated? I don’t know if the coronavirus has been shown to reappear. In Ruse, as far as I understand, there is such a case. There are also them in the world. It is too early to tell if the virus is recurrent, he explained.

With all these efforts, I hope our healthcare system survives. Things seem to be going to a very serious point, especially when it comes to medical personnel. My calling is to listen to the experts, to listen to the people who have studied this all their lives. When necessary, we must comply with these restrictive measures. I want, as a result of these measures, as a result of the fact that it does not change so much, that its circulation slows down. And at some point, respectively, to achieve an optimal position, added the professor.
