Coronavirus: One of the most serious questions that worries both the scientific community and, of course, the political leadership, is “why do not the cases fall in the large urban centers, despite the imposition of the confinement, and despite the strict rules of restriction? “
The answer is not easy. To be precise, it is multifactorial. Yesterday, for example, on December 3, 2020, Hellas, particularly large numbers, with intubated numbers reaching 622, new cases at 1,882 and the death toll remaining high at 100.
All this situation worries the state mechanism very much and unfortunately it does not allow a way out of quarantine. To be precise, it is constantly causing changes in government plans. For example, until a few days ago, Kyriakos Mitsotakis hoped that primary schools and kindergartens could reopen before Christmas and said that primary education would open first; He had promised it personally, speaking with the children. in the classroom of a digital school in Chania, last week.
Unfortunately, the numbers and the official Covid figures It is also denied by the Prime Minister himself, since the continued exponential increase in cases imposes the postponement of the opening of schools to early 2021.
In his Wednesday night speech, Mitsotakis outlined a portion of the “roadmap,” which he is said to present when he has enough data: “Some forms of economic activity just won’t work until we have a vaccine. For example, the nightlife: we can’t have people crowded into bars until we have a vaccine, “he said in his speech at the 31st Greek Economic Summit online discussion, while for schools, he said:” We will keep schools closed while experts they tell us “- if it matters, for the first time he preferred the wording” we will keep them closed as long as they tell us “instead of” we will open them when they tell us “.
But why not the coveted “leveling”? Is it a matter of people’s fatigue? In other words, are citizens tired and not complying with health protection measures? Is it the fault that the government was slow to enforce the quarantine and belatedly locked citizens with the virus in their homes?
We were locked in the houses with the virus.
What does this mean in practice? That several citizens (and especially students) were infected and possibly left asymptomatic. When the government decided to implement Lockdown, it locked up those who had been infected with the virus along with the healthy.
All this combined with the low temperatures have resulted in an explosive cocktail that will take longer to decompress.
Especially in northern Greece, where the spread was even greater, when citizens began to implement the measures, instead of closing the door of their homes to the virus, they closed with the virus inside their home. The result was a very slow reduction in the rate of infections, but also the consequent continued pressure on the healthcare system.
Mobility may have been reduced, but it is not at the level of the March lockdown for several reasons: from the more limited degree of teleworking to the fact that citizens now know the “keys” to the system and can more easily avoid it, in some cases.
For these reasons when Mr. Mitsotakis makes its announcements next week, they will be extremely restrained. Let’s not forget that most scientists have one more fear: the appearance of a third wave, with equally dramatic consequences for health.
