The situation that has been created in the country since the pandemic leads to a reversal of any planning. From where the removal of the blockade was discussed, we got to discuss whether we would become Ohan …
The closure date scheduled for the end of November 30 across the country from a very early stage seemed unrealistic. In addition, Newsbomb.gr had revealed that its extension from one to two weeks was being discussed in the government field.
Unfortunately the report was confirmed, while the epidemiological picture in the country deteriorates with the health system. To be pushed like never before We thus come to a change in the debate not only with regard to enlargement, but also a further tightening of the measures adopted.
Talking to Newsbomb.gr Y journalist Ioanna Katsimba, professor of microbiology, Alkiviadis Vatopoulos He described in the brightest colors the point the country has reached, calling for radical measures to stop the spread of the virus in the country.
It is recalled that on Friday EODY announced 2,581 new cases of the new virus in the country, of which 38 were located after controls at the gates of the country. The total number of cases is 87,812, of which 53.5% are men. 519 of our fellow citizens are being treated by intubation. Their average age is 65. 156 (30.1%) are women and the rest are men. 81.1% of intubated patients have an underlying disease or are 70 years or older. 440 patients have been discharged from the ICU.
Given this, Mr. Vatopoulos explained that “the figures are worrying and the cessation of the epidemic is not recorded to the extent that we would like. There is no leveling that we expected to be done gradually. “ He noted that perhaps the strictest measures are one-way., due to the critical situation, highlighting that “we may need to immediately consider imposing a stricter blockade, as was done in China, for 15 days. The measures there were much stricter, of course the conditions are different here and there. However, we must consider other measures to take that step.“That, however, could bring the desired results,” he said.
What had happened in china
Everything was closed and only one person per family could go out of the house for a limited time to be able to stock up on what was necessary. In cities like Uhan this was done once a week, while in other cities, twice.
How far or how close we are to this nightmare scenario We will discover what the next few days are and the evil with our tendency to manage not to experience this.
What the government “sees”
Given the above, the government spokesman, commenting on the panorama of the pandemic in the country, clarified that “we never talk about a specific schedule, we talk about phases of gradual return to a form of normality in December.” The end of the blockade on December 1 is unrealistic, he argued.
“The debate about times when we fight is largely out of place. We have said many times and given visibility to all market players that we are starting from the field, which has a lower epidemiological burden, such as schools, after the retail commerce. and after health stores like catering. “There is no timetable at the moment, because we are focused on the battle,” he explained.
Speaking on public television, Mr. Petsas stressed that at this stage we must all fight for the reduction of cases, while he made the decision to order two private clinics in Thessaloniki to increase pressure on the health system.
Indicative of the prevailing situation in the ICU is that according to data from the Ministry of Health at the moment only 15% are empty throughout the country.
More detail:
- Non-COVID ICUs are currently 569, 445 are occupied and 124 are vacant (22%).
- There are currently 651 ICU-COVIDs. Of these, 555 are occupied and 96 are vacant (15%).
- The ICU-COVID serving the needs of Thessaloniki (including Halkidiki, Katerini and Kavala hospitals) are currently 218. Of these, 210 are occupied and 8 are vacant (4%).
- In the Attica Basin Hospitals, the ICU-COVID is currently 218. Of these, 173 are occupied and 45 are vacant (20.5%).
Papaevangelou: We have a war – If bullets fell, we would stay home
“Although the widespread closure seems to be beginning to bear fruit, we must continue the fight to reduce the epidemic wave with our individual effort and our personal sacrifices,” said Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the EKPA School of Medicine and member of the Committee. of Experts Vana Papaevangelou, during the briefing on the course of the pandemic in Greece.
“Let’s not forget, these people disappeared because of the coronavirus,” he characteristically said. “We have a real war and if there were bullets, instead of the invisible coronavirus, we certainly wouldn’t relax, we wouldn’t be upset about having to stay home.”
