We will have a difficult winter because of the epidemic, experts emphasize time and again, who are almost certain that the cases will be much more.
However, the fact that we are possibly in better condition than what awaits us in winter does not reassure the experts at all.
This is because the cases, despite the greater measures that have been taken, do not show a significant reduction. 
The government is trying again and again to emphasize that it is more important to adhere to existing measures than to take more.
However, it is not only the cases that do not fall, but also the number of deaths that is constantly increasing.
The deaths of late remind us how dire the situation remains and how much attention is needed.
In particular, 26 people died, 25 of them in the last three days.
In fact, 65 people have died in October from the coronavirus, with 40% being losses from the last three days.
Since October, when only one death was recorded, 5 deaths followed on Saturday, 13 on Sunday – which is a negative record for our country since the start of the pandemic – and another 7 today.
At the same time, ICUs are under pressure, the number of intubants being 93, up from 99 last Friday.
Dermitzakis due to coronavirus: we have more than 1,000 cases a day, they will increase in winter
The estimate that the coronavirus cases in Greece are in fact many times more than the official ones, was expressed by the genetics professor at the University of Geneva, Manolis Dermitzakis.
“In Greece, coronavirus cases are many times more than official, probably more than 1,000 per day,” he noted, adding that this is the only way to explain the outcome of coronavirus deaths. 
“The deaths are high in relation to the cases”
In particular, he said: “The picture that we have 300 to 400 cases and France 7000 and Switzerland 1500; the comparisons are not correct. The cases are multiple, we do not have the ability to test the entire population.” Deaths and hospitalizations they are high in relation to the cases, “he emphasized.
As Mr. Dermitzakis noted, speaking to Sky, “Switzerland announced on Monday 4,078 cases over three days with 7 deaths. Greece with 295 cases also has 7 deaths. By analogy, Greece may have more than 1,000 cases a day to get the result. of the dead. It’s the simple method of three. “
“The case fatality rate has been very high for 2.5 months … Too many tests are done, but selectively.” Switzerland announced 1000 to 1500 cases per day, Greece 300 to 400 cases, image it’s that Greece is doing well, but Greece is one of the worst countries. “
“The deaths are an indication of how the situation was 10 or 15 days ago,” he explained.
However, he affirmed that the number of cases, whatever they may be, has stabilized, and that is good, because of the measures we do not have an exponential increase.
Bell for winter
“In the winter we will go to cover and we will have an increase in cases. We have to reduce the cases, we have to go into winter with the least number of cases possible”, repeated the professor. “I am afraid that the cases will increase in the next 2 months “Manolis Dermitzakis said.
“The mask is imperative everywhere, the density of people in Athens is so high,” he stressed. He clarified that it is good to keep restaurants and bars open (for those seated) since the squares are not controlled.
Dimopoulos at MEGA: we expect an increase in cases in the winter
EKPA Rector Thanasis Dimopoulos spoke about the latest scientific data on the topic of the corona virus on the “Society Hour MEGA” program.
Mr. Dimopoulos spoke of the need to strictly implement the measures taken by the state to avoid a large increase in the winter months.
As he said: “The measures we can take are these specific, hoping that in a reasonable time we will have a vaccine or vaccines that will now create, but after several months, a wall of immunity and we will be able to control it. coronavirus.
Regarding the increase in victims lately, the professor stressed that the total number of cases, as announced by EODY, that we have in September and October is higher than that we had in March and April.
“Unfortunately, a percentage of these patients will become seriously ill and the elderly or people with comorbidities will end up,” said Mr. Dimopoulos.
We expect an increase in the winter months
Mr Dimopoulos also referred to the northern European countries where multiplication cases have been observed due to low temperatures.
“In Greece, efforts are being made so that we still have good weather and we can avoid coloring indoors to achieve a reduction in cases,” he stressed and continued: viruses, and because people are intertwined, we hope to have an increase. “
On the increase in cases, Mr. Dimopoulos commented: “By implementing the measures as they have been updated every week, we have avoided what we call an aggressive increase, to see 1,000 cases per day. This is a positive development. Of course, we must not fail to say that every day we have a triple-digit number of cases with a special backlog in Attica that causes special concern ”.
“The vaccine will take several months”
“We are facing a huge global health problem. It is something for which there are no alternatives.” In no country in the world has an alternative program been successfully implemented, “said the rector of EKPA.
Dimopoulos emphasized that: “So all we can do is be patient, maintain composure, try not to get discouraged and hope that with improved treatment options, patients will have better treatment.” It seems that the issue of vaccines it will be available to us in the coming months. “
On the issue of the vaccine, Mr. Dimopoulos stated that it will take several more months for it to reach the entire population.
“When a vaccine is approved by the competent regulatory mechanisms from there, mass production begins, which is obviously being prepared by Big Pharma, and partial distribution of the vaccine begins. Therefore, when we say that it will take a few months from the approval of the vaccine until it is possible to vaccinate a significant part of the population. 
Gogos: Cases are more than recorded – Hospitalization days increase
“Campana” for the increase in the days of hospitalization in the ICU of patients with coronavirus, which “means an increase in the probability of death”, meant through THEMA 104.6 and the Professor of Pathology Charalambos Gogos.
“The problem is that we have increased deaths as the length of stay in the ICU increases,” Gogos said, explaining that the good scenario is for coronavirus patients if they stabilize to leave the ICU in a week.
According to him, “the number of cases has increased significantly.” On the other hand, we do not have the large increase that we feared would reach more than 500 cases and there is optimism there. ” 
However, he stressed that “we are in a good situation in terms of weather conditions and we would like better figures.”
Speaking of the “mask everywhere” measure, Mr. Gogos said that “you can’t lift the rest, everything must go together.”
“The problem with this disease is that there are many asymptomatic people. If someone coughs or has other symptoms, it will be isolated. This is the meaning of the mask,” he added.
Finally, he said that “the cases are more real” than those registered with evidence. “With the tests we see the dynamics of the epidemic.”
