The dramatic turn that the pandemic in our country, leads to the announcement of stricter restrictions meters, maybe until Friday.
For some scientists, the question that arises now is not whether the Retail closes again and curfew begins at 6 or 7 pm It is a question of whether these measures will be enough to block the third pandemic wave that otherwise started off the northwestern coast of Europe and will end on its south east coast .
Advanced offspring
The virus that we knew until today and that had triggered the first and second waves of terror on the planet, begins and sublimates, giving way to more advanced offspring that are working with miraculous speeds to multiply their deadly transmission. the mutations For several days, the cases have spread to all European countries and it is considered certain that they have done the same in Greece.
The cases reached a four-digit figure on Tuesday, at 1261, at a time when not only the vaccination of the population has not exceeded the mutation rate of the virus but the vaccines themselves show – in the opinion of many – supposedly . weakness in killing mutant strains. In the last hours, scientists appear to be detecting mutations in the mutations that betray a peculiar and very “read” virus that embodies the fiction of the Phoenix from the opposite side.
Unprotected again
Summer and the sun, which should weaken the action of its structural elements, have a strengthening effect and favor its diffusion when the population itself shows diffusion tendencies in streets, squares, fields, and beaches. In the first and second waves, the first victims were mostly elderly people whose immune systems and the diseases they had accumulated did not allow them to exhaust their entire life expectancy. 
The same population group, across the length and breadth of the Earth, along with those who have incurable diseases and lots of pills stuffed into their pockets every day and placed on the nightstand, are once again vulnerable to the new attack. mortal. Now scientists in several countries, most recently in France, are discovering that some vaccines that have received marketing approval do not have the properties to kill a thousand people.
Many countries, such as Greece, as we will see, have requested and will receive thousands of doses of this type of vaccine. But how can they be exploited if they cannot protect the health of people who are beginning to walk away from life?
Quarantine
The scientists’ question about whether the measures will be sufficient will be answered in a few weeks from today. The data will be monitored by experts for the next two days and if it is constantly increasing, then the new measures should be considered data and what will be judged will be essentially their degree of rigor. “We listen to the suggestions of experts, if necessary we will take action, we live in emergency situations,” said Health Minister Vassilis Kikilias.
According to information from MEGA, the data in Attica does not leave room for the imposition of much stricter measures, which currently approach even a generalized two-week lockdown so that the hard indicators can be reduced.
The example of Thessaloniki in October, where there was a general dispersion that caused a million deaths, is such that it leaves no room for other thoughts.
February March
According to the same sources, in the next two months – that is, February and March – we should not expect an image other than a hard lockdown, with perhaps some slight relaxation of the measures depending on the epidemiological data.
The Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, mentioned the course of the pandemic, leaving open the possibility of a new generalized shutdown in the country. “From the beginning of the pandemic there is a specific plan and a specific strategy. “General blocking is a tool on the table, but the data is evaluated every day.”
Black hole
Everyone’s eyes are on Athens. In hospitals that did not have time to breathe, in ICUs that are beginning to fill up. In the neighborhoods that are boiling. Another day, half of the country’s cases were leaked into the capital. They flowed and grew. There is a black hole in the capital that, as in our far space, is not directly detected except for its indirect effects. Space and time are distorted. What happened in Attica? 
Like every day, on Tuesday Attica conquers the “black” advantage, followed by Thessaloniki with a triple-digit number of cases for the first time in a long time. On Thursday, Chrysochoidis and Hardalia go up to Thessaloniki to reassess the situation, which is not only auspicious. 649 new infections are detected in the Basin (almost half the total number), while in Thessaloniki 126 cases. An alarm has been sounded in Acaya with 64 cases, 39 and 38 being registered in Larissa and Halkidiki respectively, while there are 43 new infections in Evia. The professor of Environmental Engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Demosthenes Sarigiannis, leaves open the possibility of reaching 2,000 cases of coronavirus a day in mid-March, the health system being pressured at this point significantly by the large number of patients.
The hospitals
On behalf of the ICU director of the “Papanikolaou” hospital, Nikos Kapravelos, speaking about the preparation of the NSS, stated that “what we are trying to prevent is the morbidity of the virus and its mutations that increase the pressure on the national health system and especially to prevent explosions. It is impossible to prepare more. ICUs have already reached their limits. The virus runs at breakneck speed. Mutations may not increase its morbidity, but they do increase its ability to spread. It is good for the virus to die, but to spread, which increases the pressure on the NSS. “
Us and the vaccine
Scientists and health ministry officials say the AstraZeneca vaccine remains a powerful weapon against the pandemic, due in part to its high efficiency, which reaches 82% after the second dose, and its ease of storage and handling. However, the question that suddenly arises is which citizens will be vaccinated with the 952,000 doses that are expected to cross the country’s borders in some parts by the end of March. And although the obvious answer would be the next category based on prioritization, that is, people belonging to vulnerable groups (for example, patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease), in practice the problem is more complicated.
This is because, according to the same sources, data from clinical studies do not provide clear evidence of the action of the vaccine in patients with chronic diseases. Therefore, the possibility that the AstraZeneca vaccine is used (at least in the first phase) as a shield for the general population is being considered, which overturns the ranking of the groups that would be vaccinated. So, for example, in the crucial weeks ahead, AstraZeneca doses are likely to be aimed at vaccinating the Security Corps, tourism workers, or younger people with no underlying diseases.
