Cases today: The emergence of the coronavirus continues and the resistance of the health system is being tested as the number of intubated and deaths in the country due to Covid-19 increases. The “black” record for deaths in a 24-hour period and the enormous pressure on the ICU.
When we say that difficult days are coming, we are not saying it to make the world panic, or because of impressions. Unfortunately, the evolution of the pandemic in our country is confirmed day by day, since the Newsbomb.gr He has been screaming since September that drastic measures must be taken immediately and, above all, that schools must not be reopened.
Some, however, did not listen and allowed the situation to become dramatic. Things are at a turning point in our country, with today’s deaths breaking records, reaching 35. At the same time, intensive care units are suffocating, with 228 intubated. As exaggerated as it may seem, things are not going well at all.
They grow dead and intubated, the confinement remains
From the moment the imposition of the second emergency shutdown, We had explained that the critical indicators will be those of the intubated and the deaths every 24 hours from the coronavirus. That is, the problem is not only the large number of cases, although it is obviously related to the other two data, but mainly the patients admitted to the ICU and how many of them do not survive the deadly virus.
So if these numbers don’t drop significantly, things will remain extremely difficult. With the particularly high number of cases in recent weeks, the measures will take several days to be effective. In fact, there are many scientists who predict that one emergency shutdown By itself it may not be enough and further action may be necessary.
Large number of cases also on weekends
As we have commented, despite the fact that since the beginning of the pandemic the number of cases on weekends has decreased compared to the rest of the days, due to the lower number of laboratories, the figures for the last few weeks are especially worrying.
Indicative and current figures (8.11) with 1,914 new cases of coronavirus in the country, at a time when 35 deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours, more than on any other day, while 228 people are intubated in the ICU. Obviously with such data, the forecasts of a possible relaxation of the measures are not auspicious.
Experts argue that such a measure alone is not enough to solve the problem. «Blocking is not enough to stop the exponential burst“Said epidemiology professor Athena Linou, who also commented that”We are in an aggressive increase in cases, that is, every 5-10 days the cases double. The dangerous thing is that we have too many cases that increase aggressively».
