There is a great risk that there will be another increase in deaths from the second cycle – after that of the summer holidays – from contagion of the elderly by the “neglected young people” in the coming days.
Autumn midnight outdoor parties and terraces of people aged 20-35 who do not take any precautionary measures are likely to provoke in the coming days, after yesterday’s rapid increase in cases to 865, a new big cycle of deaths of older people mainly 64 years and older.
This is a new dramatic dimension of the pandemic in our country, as it happened from the end of September to mid-October where deaths from Covid-19 doubled, reaching more than 10 a day!
Indicative is, according to the detailed table of “Vima”, the increase in cases and deaths depending on the age of the corpses, which is observed from the beginning of August.
The number of cases of 677 in the last fortnight of July rose to 2,271 in the first fortnight of August (almost quadrupled), participating in the increase and spread of the pandemic young people between 18 and 40 years old, who now have a “participation” of almost 60%. in general diagnoses, in relation to other age groups. This is due to the young people having fun, indifferent to health measures on the Aegean islands and other resorts.
This large participation of young people (53.2%) in total cases continued during the next fortnight from August 15 to 31.
The massive production of young carriers of Covid-19 had painful consequences with their return to urban centers, which is why they began to spread at vulnerable ages, especially those over 64, with the result – and based on the incubation time of illness, ICU hospitalizations. etc. – have from September 15 to October 15 a total of 169 deaths from coronavirus. Of these, 82% are older people who were infected with the deadly virus by a significant percentage, according to epidemiologists, of the young people who participated in the “summer parties” but also the indifference of many of them to the measures to reduce the pandemic.
Something that seems to be happening, in a second “cycle” and now in Kozani, Ioannina, Thessaloniki, Athens and other parts of the country, as noted yesterday by the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Mr. Nikos Hardalias. Fearing that they will soon be seen again, the serious consequences with an increase in deaths after the next ten days.
Government officials have attributed part of the increase in the number of cases in recent days to increased testing by teams from EODY and other agencies.
The subsequent analysis shows that until the beginning of October every day in our country some 11,500 tests are carried out daily and this figure has increased in recent days to 15,000-16,000 on average. With increasing trends.
Yesterday, when there was an increase in cases by about 200 in a 24-hour period, 24,000 tests were carried out (with a percentage of 1.3-2% positive), the day before about 21,000 tests and 17,000 three days ago.
Therefore, it is noted that increasing testing by 3000-10,000 daily can lead to 50-150 additional cases. However, this does not fully explain the impressive increase in cases that reaches 50% in just 24 hours and that is due to the new and rapid spread of the disease.
