All necessary procedures have been completed, including, among other things, training of staff on implementation. of protocols for the management of Covid patients. We are fully prepared. “We have already accepted the first two incidents and we are waiting for the rest of the income from public hospitals, to also help in this battle.”
Characteristic of the concern of infectious disease specialists are the statements of Nikos Sypsas yesterday in the SKAI evening news bulletin and Nikos Stravelakis about the lifting of the blockade which, although it ended on November 30, was officially extended until December 7 . An extension, however, for which experts suggest going until December 14 or even December 21 and there are specific scenarios for the opening of the company.
Mr. Sypsas was the first to support the extension of the lockdown until December 21, speaking to the main SKAI newsletter, clarifying that it is his personal opinion and that he considers the date more ideal than December 14.
Mr. Sypsas affirmed that the sensible lifting of the confinement as of December 21 will give greater margins to the system, since he estimated that with the lifting of the measures the cases will also increase ”.
“To have 15 days off, to have a certain regularity,” he said characteristically.
He also pointed out that at the moment we have a small drop in the number of cases, as well as in the percentage of positive samples, it has dropped from 19% to 10%, but we have very poor quality data, which is a large number of active cases. , more than 26,000. that show us many introductions that are more than downloads even unfortunately intubations and deaths. These data do not allow any prediction at the moment because we do not think that we will open the company having 88% covered units, 100% in Thessaloniki and having this death toll ”.
In addition, Mr. Sypsas mentioned the slow decline of the pandemic for various reasons, such as the great dispersion during October and the fact that the lock we have is a bit loose and does not help the rapid de-escalation of the pandemic.
At the same time, he pointed out that the day the society opens there will be a dispersal of the crown, while he recalled that few Greeks have antibodies. Most do not have antibodies and the climate favors the spread, which means that in the next 15 to 20 days the cases will begin to increase.
He noted that “all these elements do not make me optimistic” and said that we must forget about the inauguration on December 7.
He warned that “we will not have regular holidays, we do not have the idea that we will have a multitude of consumers in the stores.” features.
He called on citizens to pay special attention, noting that at this stage, the focus is on homes. “Only at Christmas. No family, no one around us,” he said.
According to Mr. Sypsas, if the gradual lifting of the lockdown begins on December 14, there will be a school opening.
But if the uprising begins on December 21, the opening of schools will not make sense and the beginning will be with retail mainly.
For catering, gyms and other industries, when epidemiological data allow. “We can’t even make predictions, we do exercises on paper,” he explained.
In fact, he referred to an opening with time restrictions and a traffic ban after a while as well as sms even during holidays.
If we manage to vaccinate vulnerable groups in early summer, then we will begin to relax and it will mean the end of the epidemic in our country, he said, among other things.
Kapravelos to SKAI: In Thessaloniki we press it – We must not open
Nikolaos Kapravelos, Director of the ICU at Papanikolaou Hospital, suggests that we should not open, especially without restrictive measures, speaking with SKAI and Giorgos Avtias.
As Mr. Kapravelos explained, the situation in Thessaloniki is tragic, as the beds in the intensive care unit are full.
“We are living a tragic situation. We do not have intensive care beds.” We have built another space, at the expense of other specialties, to face this wave, which escaped us, “he said.
Mr. Kapravelos said that the second wave begins in October and ends in March. “We must not open up. Dispersion is now at our next door.” Anyone who opens it must know that it opens at the risk of his life. “
“At the moment, there should be no talk of opening. From me and the martyr Thessaloniki, you will never know about the inauguration. We will tell him restrictive measures,” stressed the UCI Director of Papanikolaou.
“We are screwed. If action is not taken, it will be a national tragedy.” On November 25, Thessaloniki recorded for the first time the highest number of deaths per million inhabitants in Europe, “he said.
Finally, he highlighted the importance of compliance with the measures. “If we open without measures, the third wave will be incredible. The virus is terribly contagious. The vaccine is the hope of society.”
