Ten new cases of coronavirus confirmed in the last 24 hours, during which there was no new death patient with Covid-19 in Greece thirty-five patients are being treated intubated. Sir Tsiodras made special reference to “Patient 0” from France, which was confirmed positive on December 27, saying there may be other similar cases in other countries. At the same time, he asked us not to believe the fake news and all kinds of posts on social media.
However, Mr. Tsiodras also referred to the new vaccine study that started yesterday in USES based on technique Messenger RNA. With this pioneering vaccination technique, the cells in the vaccine are somehow “taught” how to make proteins that look alike, but not the virus. So the vaccine leads to the production of something that looks like a part of the virus, a pseudo-virus. And so you don’t get sick, but you create antibodies that fight the real virus.
The infectious disease specialist noted that The increase in laboratory tests will also reveal hidden outbreaks., mainly among asymptomatic patients.
He made extensive reference to hand hygiene, as a key precautionary measure, noting that today is World Hand Hygiene Day. Handwashing, he said, is combined with the rest of the protection shield. It is important to wash your hands well and at the right time.
Mr. Tsiodras announced that the set of confirmed cases in Greece now equals 2,642, of which 55.4% are men. Eighty-one patients are gone intensivewhile entering 35 intubated patients There are 8 women. 97% of seriously ill people are elderly or have underlying diseases.
When asked about it, the infectious disease specialist referred to two studies with conflicting results on smoke as an increased risk factor for patients with Covid-19. To study in France showed that it did not work aggravatingly, a study in the United States showed the opposite effect. Tsiodras said he had to wait for the data, but said the United States study would probably be more accurate.
Later, Mr. Tsiodras pointed out that in Greece we risk recording more deaths, instead of being overwritten. He cited as an example a case of a patient with cerebral hemorrhage who had contracted coronavirus and whose death could have been registered from the first cause. However, it was recorded as a death by coronaeus, from the moment it was infected.
“The curves are decreasing right now,” he said. Mr. Tsiodras said, “We are in a phase where the epidemic has been controlled. Everything is taken into account. R0 is a complex function with many variables that change. We see them every day and make estimates accordingly. I don’t want to make the prophet bad, how much the better our behavior, the better we will go. ”
