THE the moment they open nightclubs and bars “It will be a little late”, highlights the specialist in infectious diseases, professor at the University of Athens, member of the Committee for the coronavirus, Nikos Sypsas, stressing that “entertainment is unfortunately a transmitter of the virus.”
He warns, speaking on the “Society Hour MEGA” program, that when the company opens, as long as it is opened, on the same day that virus transmission will resume and its spread and after two weeks we will see an increase in cases again.
Therefore, it is not so easy and simple to open everything. Only what is absolutely necessary should be opened and if epidemiological conditions allow it and especially the health system.
“As much as we want to, there are hard numbers and some objective truths that we cannot avoid,” he said. to pressure on the health system and the ICU of patients with coronavirus.
“We have no perversion to close everything, we try to save human livesHe said emphatically.
He also referred to the reasons why we do not see cases fall: in the great dispersion that occurred since October, in the fact that the “confinement” we do is not very heavy but light even in cold climates and the windows are closed. “We entered our homes with the coronavirus in the second wave, carrying the virus and transmitting it to our families,” Sypsas said.
The second wave it was expected to be very difficult and we must manage it carefully.
Especially because of the closure after October, he emphasizes that it has nothing to do with March, referring for example to the traffic jam that it exists in the streets and in the great mobility of the world. “Mobility means dispersion,” he said, emphasizing that people have many options. citizens regarding sms.
The only remedy we have to deal with the virus in Spring is blocking, which is effective when it is very strong. On the other hand, people are tired and outraged.Therefore, we should not take stricter measures but rather observe what is in force, Mr Sypsas stressed. Citizens must say “no” to the abuse of texting and meetings in the houses.
He also noted that most likely we cannot avoid blocking the “accordion”. The goal is to match with this solution to get to Spring without losses.
Regarding the presentation he will make, he highlights that based on the latest data on the cases and the situation in the ICU “things do not seem optimistic for this week.” “The pressure on the healthcare system will show how we will open up. If ICU coverage falls below 86%, which is currently below 70% then we can discuss a reasonable opening. “” My personal opinion is that this is the strongest indicator for making decisions for the future, “he said. If the pipeline were below 500, we would open more easily, he added.
End of spring with beginning of summer we will relax due to vaccines. The first vaccinations are expected to take place in January, while estimating measures we will have until the summer.
He called everyone and especially them young people must be vaccinated to build a wall of immunity. “If the vaccine is approved, it will be completely safe and I will be vaccinated first,” he said.
Finally, keep in mind that vaccination it is not mandatory in Greece, but this will happen in practice.
