Tsiodras: Impossible to control the spread of the virus – Worse things in the second wave

Professor Sotiris Tsiodras made an extraordinary appearance today in the established information on the coronavirus, making an emotional call for the observance of personal protection measures, in the shadow of the current negative multiple history in daily cases and intubations.

Referring to data from abroad, he commented that it seems impossible to control the spread of the virus, adding significantly that more than measures, the voice of conscience must “speak.” The expert panel said it proposed tolerable measures to avoid a horizontal lockdown, but noted that discussions on such an option have now increased at the European level.

«We see the dispersion increasing, we have November before us, a difficult December and perhaps an even more difficult January […] and we know that it will be worse because we will also have respiratory viruses, “he said, commenting that things are worse in the second wave of the pandemic,” that is how pandemics move, there is no defense in the population, there is no immunity.

The hope of the vaccine

Tsiodras, however, expressed the hope that a vaccine may be available sooner than expectedSince the Oxford one seems to work at all ages and the American one at older ages. “We, as scientists, are here, monitoring the virus, unfortunately our personal freedoms are being violated, but it is our only option, we have no other option.”

Giving a purely personal tone to his speech, he affirmed that he has not gone out to a cafeteria or restaurant since February, when the first case was registered in Greece. “I have not experienced what I experienced before.” If it was necessary to go, if I wanted to escape, spend time seeing a friend, when I spoke with him I did not remove my mask, I only took it off to eat. “

For Public Transport, he recognized that conditions are suffocating and asked his fellow citizens, as far as possible, to avoid overcrowding. As for the mask, he asked citizens not to use it badly, such as on the chin or with the nose out, and to wash their hands well.

At the same time, he emphasized that meetings should be limited and commented on the case of a large party in the early hours of the morning in Athens. According to him, if the virus is not contained, the health system will flood and the number of victims of the coronavirus will increase.

It takes an extra sacrifice from everyone

“I come to speak to you about another type of freedom,” he said, asking that the necessary measures be taken to protect public health. “When you impose a behavior on yourself, it is easier to observe it. I am not a teacher or a teacher, I am a student close to you, I am learning in this pandemic […] I sleep 3:30 and 4 in the morning, for four hours […] An extra sacrifice is required of all. This sacrifice was made by our ancestors 80 years ago, let’s do it today. “
