Coronavirus – All news: After a month of blocking cases, the number of intubated and daily deaths is very high in Greece. Theodoros Vasilakopoulos, Professor of Pneumology and Intensive Care at the University of Athens School of Medicine, explains why Newsbomb.gr.
Greece has been since November 7 emergency shutdown, to stop its outbreak coronavirus that had been observed since the end of October in the country. This second implementation of such measures, however, does not have the desired effect. This was evident from the fact that three extensions have already been granted to its implementation – from November 30 to December 7, then to December 14 and finally to January 7 – but mainly from the epidemiological data recorded daily in the country.
The number of cases continues to increase, since respectively the problem is serious in the health system such as ICU they are full and a number between 570 and 600 of our fellow citizens are intubated. At the same time, his macabre list grows from 90 to 100 people every day. deceased in Greece that have reached a total of 3,289 since the start of the pandemic.
«Many things are not done well, there are multiple reasons why the numbers do not go down“He explained to Newsbomb.gr the Professor of Pneumology and Intensive Care at the GNA University of Athens School of Medicine, Theodoros Vasilakopoulos.
«First of all, We enter winter and that increases the contagion. As the temperature drops, by logic we saw a decrease in the summer with the increase in temperature and the improvement of the weather and we forgive the mistakes we made, so there is this increase.“Mr. Vasilakopoulos commented on why there is no data improvement.
He further added that “The second serious reason is that there was a very large epidemiological burden. When an epidemiological burden is so high, it is very difficult to reduce it».
Regarding the implementation of the confinement and if it was not done as it should be, the professor of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Athens was clear. «At first, this blockage is not real. It is not a confinement like the one that happened in spring. There is a lot of mobility right nowCommented.
«People are usually tired, but they don’t implement the measures correctly. He got carried away by the summer, where many mistakes were forgiven., and most thought that the problem was not big. So since the problem is not big, we shouldn’t be so careful. I even see my colleagues in the hospitals where I work, not following the measurements correctly, so you understand that behavior is a problem. It is such that unfortunately it does not help to solve the problem“Added Mr. Vasilakopoulos.
As for what needs to happen to have a clear improvement in epidemiological data, Vasilakopoulos highlighted the strict application of the measures and possibly the imposition of stricter bans to convince society of the seriousness of the situation.
«There should be stricter measures, that’s for sure. We should enter into a process of limiting the number of SMS, especially in the most congested areas. It is not possible in a “red” area to send 20 or 30 messages a day. Then you will be out all the time, you will meet more people, so you are in danger of transmitting the virus to more people.He characteristically said.
«Second, we all need to be aware that we can get stuck or that someone can get stuck without us noticing. Even at work where We can be with the same people for 10-20 years and be our friends, we feel familiar but the danger is there. We all have to be very careful“Stressed the distinguished scientist.
