Blockade: one step before Mitsotakis’ decision – Cases “scare” – Newsbomb – News



[ad_1]

Coronavirus – All the news: The “launch” of the number of cases has “scared” both scientists and the state. The blockade has fallen on the table, no matter how much everyone avoids it. All the background.

Characteristic is the aversion of the professor of genetics at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva, Manolis Dermitzakis, who said that “I’m afraid we can experience scenes from Italy in Greece with 5,000 and 6,000 cases per day.”

Tuesday’s 1,259 cases did not come like a thunderbolt in the air. It was an expected number that both the state and scientists were counting until when it would appear. However, it is indisputable that the situation is marginal, something that all the participants underlined in yesterday’s information session of the Ministry of Health. Also, this is revealed with the return of Sotiris Tsiodras, as he himself had said some time ago that his participation in the regular updates it will mean that things are “very serious”.

According to the information, the situation may be marginal, however there is a crack of optimism so far it is not possible to show the epidemiological footprint of the latest measurements received in Attica and other areas with a high viral load. On the other hand, those who are familiar with the discussions that take place at the highest levels of government emphasize that Newsbomb.gr that the situation is not only marginal but also unprecedented since the spread of the virus in our country is many times greater than that which existed in the spring when the closure was announced throughout the country.

And the prime minister may have emphasized that the lockdown is not in his options, yet as the situation worsens, the “weapons” available to stop the spread of the virus are shrinking. At the same time, there is the fatigue of the population after more than eight months of pandemic.

It is recalled that when commenting on the fatigue of the people by the measures, the professor of Environmental Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Demosthenes Sarigiannis, speaking in Newsbomb.gr On Tuesday he said “the message has not been clear for a long time.”

He characteristically said: “In the spring we experienced something unprecedented. We were all locked in our houses, without something like that happening again. We were probably also afraid of Italy. A country next door, with a culture and social structure similar to the one. ours, unrelated to China that was far from us, suffered the pandemic. So the message was clear: ‘Stay home to be saved.’ Starting in the summer, however, the message “fades.” The need to reactivate tourism, the economy, etc. it created a feeling in the world that whatever action we take is somewhat contradictory. “

Sarigiannis, however, noted that the message about wearing the mask is clear and he hopes to get it across. [Διαβάστε ολόκληρη την συνέντευξη ΕΔΩ].

Blocking: when and for how long

In this context, as several specialists in infectious diseases have pointed out, the State has set a limit of 2,000 cases per day which, if exceeded, should prompt the government to take drastic measures. Given this, two dates are included in the frame. November 9 and 15.

Closing two weeks after the implementation of the latest measures announced in a message from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the State will decide to expand or harden them.

The measures under consideration are measures that will remind a closure, since the reduction of the opening hours of the stores of healthy interest and the prohibition to leave the prefectures are not excluded, or universal blocking in specific areas like Attica.

The second scenario seems to be gaining more opportunities every day, as indicated by government sources, in Newsbomb.gr “During the winter, the activities of citizens will move to the interior with the epidemiological burden existing in the country, which will be extremely dangerous. It would be nice to go to Christmas with a lot less boxes. However, the government will only make decisions based on the scientists’ proposals. “

Therefore, Information wants the lockout application for November 9 or 15 with a duration of three weeks.
