Mitsotakis: “The dilemma is self-protection or quarantine”
Message to the citizens for the coronavirus addressed the Prime Minister on Thursday afternoon Kyriakos Mitsotakis, asking citizens to speak out once again high responsability level against the measures announced by the government to prevent a further spread of Covid 19 in our country. The prime minister clearly raised the dilemma “self-protection or quarantine“Emphasizing that avoiding a general blockade, which would have unpleasant consequences in economic and social terms, depends on everyone.
“I’ll say it openly: The dilemma is “Self-Protection or Quarantine.”. And knowing the consequences of the second, we have a duty to choose the first. Without many words. But with a few actions, proven and effective: Distances. Personal hygiene. And, most importantly, mask until you find the cure and the vaccine. I would dare to say, in fact, that the mask is the vaccine to the vaccine. It is used by our non-whining children, who prove to be more disciplined than some adults. “Because, unlike any other measure, it is a very simple movement, it protects us from some momentary negligence, from a random synchronicity,” he stressed in his message. Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
“The blockade means social prejudice”
The prime minister insisted that it is up to the people to avoid a new one. general lock.
«It depends on us. And we have the power and the knowledge to do it. Universal measurements may seem simple. And, in fact, it was extremely effective in the early phase of the pandemic. In the medium term, however, they provide tragic effects on the economy and great injustices in society.
We know that freezing all activities reduces the transmission of the virus. It was Spring’s lesson, but it cost us a lot. “Closure” means businesses closed and unemployment. Lower public revenues and great recession. And if we hadn’t intervened in time with a bold and ever-evolving program to save the economy, things would have been much worse. But mainly, “blockade” means social prejudice. “Because the real estate economy mobilizes inequalities,” he said Kyriakos Mitsotakis
Fear of the government
HE Prime Minister stressed that what we don’t want to see in the next time period, is “an aggressive increase in cases and intubations».
“The virus is here, it is present. It did not stop circulating among us. “And it is much more deadly than the seasonal flu,” he noted.
Improvements in MMM are needed to avoid overcrowding
He also referred to the need to improve the state in specific areas.
“In transportation, let’s say. Even though 250 buses have been added to Attica since last year, these did not seem to be enough to avoid overcrowding. That is why we instituted continuous work attendance hours. But we need more vehicles and More frequent services. Extraordinary times impose extraordinary measures. “Then, starting next week, 100 new buses will start operating and another 400 by the end of the year,” he continued.
For the use of the mask
“Experts tell us that if a coronavirus patient is found near a healthy fellow citizen and they both wear masks, the possibility of transmission is infinitesimal. Therefore, we must get used to it.. And if necessary, the State will impose the obligation of the measure ”.
