Dramatic call on citizens to abide by the measures taken in their favor coronavirus it is addressed, mainly, through THEMA 104.6, to Mina Gaga, pulmonologist and coordinating director of the VII Pulmonary Clinic of Sotiria Hospital, president of the Central Health Council.
At the same time, it describes a really very difficult situation in the hospitals that are called to attend to coronavirus cases. “Today we have opened five clinics and two units, so things are difficult. We as physicians are eager to know how we are going to treat cases, treat them well and prevent deaths, ”he characteristically says, speaking with Ilias Siakandaris.
“I would hope that, after these months that we have the measures, that we have learned, that we see things, we will be better prepared as citizens, to be careful and stop the pandemic. “If we have 1,000 cases a day and patients stay two or three weeks, there is no way we can have more than twice as many hospitals,” she explains.
He continues: “I was hoping that now we are better than in spring, we are not. The hospitalization rate really scares us. There are 15-15 incidents, which is scary for us. Our number scares us a lot. As soon as the unit opens, it fills up. “Our rhythm is very scary and it is up to us to stop it.”
“We don’t have a vaccine, we don’t have adequate medications. Public health measures are those that can stop the pandemic for both health and the economy. The pace is fast and scares us ”, he also emphasizes.
