To yesterday’s shock, today was added the horrifying news that a 33-year-old woman with no underlying illness died in Alexandroupolis from Covid.
Intubations
From published data, it appears that the drop in cases is slower than before emergency shutdown. This lower growth rate may be due to:
-In a greater spread of the coronavirus in the community.
-In the more “relaxed” character of the second confinement compared to the first, since telework is more limited, while until recently the schools were open.
-In lower compliance of citizens with restrictive measures, due to fatigue.
However, regardless of the reduction in cases, during the next fortnight, intubation and deaths will continue to move at very high levels, with all that this implies for the National Health System, but also for Greek society as a whole.
We must not for a moment overlook the fact that these are not abstract statistics, but about people we lose, about closed houses.
