Our country remains in a fragile balance in terms of the coronation operation, while in hospitals one is still enraged hard war, with patients “invading” hundreds every day and requiring hospitalization or intubation in a short time. Yesterday, EODY announced 2,198 additional new cases, a figure that is not considered representative of the course of the epidemic since it is about 24 hours on Sunday without much evidence. Apart from Attica and Thessaloniki, Drama (147 cases), Pella (122), Larissa (110) and Serres (105) recorded triple-digit cases.
According to experts, even if the number of cases decreases, something that will be seen next week, the war in the NSS will last with undiminished intensity for at least the next two weeks and will show a recession from the beginning of December.
“This week will be very difficult. The exponential increase in cases during the last 15 days has led to admissions to clinics and ICUs for many patients, including young adults. Furthermore, we are particularly concerned about the alarming record in the last week of at least 2,500 65-year-old coronavirus patients.“The professor of Pediatrics, Ms. Vana Papaevangelou, said yesterday during the periodic information session on coronary artery by the Ministry of Health, with what this implies due to the risk of very serious disease and complication by the Covid-19 infection that going through but also because of the enormous pressure that the health system will accept to treat them.
Marginally below 1.5 the transmission index R
For his part, the Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, Mr. Gikas Majorkinis, spoke of a fragile improvement in cases and the transmission index R which has fallen below 1.5, a fragile improvement limited to the number of new cases and not to the most serious effects of those already registered. “Other indicators of the severity of the epidemic, such as new hospital admissions and intubation, will remain high.“Majorkinis said. Indicatively, 483 people were admitted to hospitals yesterday, and a fifth of them were admitted to hospitals in Attica.
THE number of intubated It was up yesterday until the announcement of the epidemiological report of EODY to 400 people and at midnight its number had jumped to 438. If you consider that on October 15 there were 82 intubated and now these patients with mechanical respiratory support have increased fivefold, it is account of the tsunami of infections but also the multiple pressure that hospitals have received.
TO ICU Last night 460 patients were treated for Covid-19 infection, while in total in several ICU units, MAF, etc., the patients were more than 730. In simple Covid-19 clinics, 2,928 people were hospitalized, throughout the country , with 60% of them. to be treated in hospitals in Macedonia and Thrace and 40% in the rest of the country.
Anxiety for the age group 40 and over
Yesterday was a difficult day in terms of the fatal outcome of those who failed to defeat the Covid-19 infection and its complications. The death toll was 59 yesterday, while last Sunday another 71 were reported. November they have lost their lives 539 people, approximately half of those who have finished the entire period of the epidemic in our country, since last February.
“None of us are above infectionMrs Papaevangelou said. Indicatively, he said the incidence of Covid-19 infection has now shifted to the age group between 40 and 65. Majorkinis added that in the second ten days of October, patients aged 19 to 39 had an exponential overdose of the virus, but then the epidemic spread to those over 40 and is more associated intrafamily transmission. It was reported that the drop in cases between the ages of 19 to 39 coincided with the closure of businesses and the stricter restrictive measures.
“During the second 15 days of October, an over-transmission dynamic was registered in people between 19 and 39 years old. This will have a greater impact on the immediately older age group. We expect serious cases for people over 40.“said Mrs. Papaevangelou.
The burden in Thessaloniki is five times higher than in Attica
Comparing the serious situation that Thessaloniki lived and is experiencing with the epidemic in the basin, experts reported that Thessaloniki has five times the viral load compared to that of Attica. In yesterday’s report, they may have been affected by a daily number of cases, with Attica leading the way for one case (Attica has 492 and Thessaloniki 491), but in the last two weeks, Thessaloniki recorded almost twice as many cases per day. “If Attica had the Thessaloniki burden, this would mean 2,200 cases in Attica every day.said Mr. Majorkinis.
For Thessaloniki, experts said that there is a beginning of stabilization, which is attributed both to the strict blockade that is applied and to the fact that it is a small urban center, since in urban centers the remission of the epidemic is achieved in a period longer time.
