Faced with the nightmare that nobody imagined would come a few weeks ago, the country is. The corona virus is sweeping almost all of Greece, with Thessaloniki and Attica receiving the main blows.
Now one negative record is broken after another every day, cases have exceeded 3,000 per day, the death toll yesterday was 50, most since the start of the pandemic, while 310 people are intubated and the number increases every day. , testing the resistance. of hospitals.
Experts estimate that the numbers will be very high in the coming days, it is possible that we will see other records fall, which generates great concern in the population.
In a few hours, the new and tough curfew measures will be implemented from 9 pm to dawn. Starting next week, scientists will be able to reassess the situation and see if the measures work.
If there is a decrease 10 days from now, the measures will give good results. But if cases continue in the four digits, deaths don’t stop, and ICUs are full, then the government’s plan B will be implemented.
This means an extension of the block which is supposed to be for 3 weeks and if then the situation improves, the “accordion” strategy will be chosen. That is, alternation of quarantine with “freedom” until mass vaccination begins and basic immunity is acquired.
The difficulty in management lies in the fact that Attica and Thessaloniki appear to be out of control, while Larissa is now in the red.
Yesterday, of the 3,289 domestic cases registered in our country, almost half, 1,584 cases (48%) were detected in Thessaloniki and Attica. 828 were registered in Thessaloniki and 756 in Attica.
Larissa had 160 cases yesterday, while Pieria, Pella and Imathia had 500 cases. So they are problematic: Drama (98), Evros (76), Kilkis (59), Kavala (88), Halkidiki (68), Serres (87), Xanthi (37). 
The spread of the virus in 53 peripheral units also shows the difficulty that the health system can withstand. It is a fact that patients will be transported by plane, while it is not ruled out that the beds are selected from private hospitals.
In any case, the country is on the verge of collapse and one mistake can shake everything in the air. The government is considering all its options and the steps it can take.
According to information from MEGA, there is a case to see a greater number of cases than at present.
If the measures don’t work as expected, the first measure the government is considering is a tighter curfew, a universal lockdown, and a tighter curfew after 9pm. Then the stores that remain open will be closed, even for delivery.
Another measure that the government is considering is a strict limit on telework that will reach up to 70%. This is what other countries are applying and it will be implemented to reduce morning traffic jams and overcrowding at workplaces.
As for primary schools and kindergartens, in the next scenario everything will be closed for 15 days.
In any case, everything indicates that the closure will be extended, which with the announcements until now ends on November 30. And it is not ruled out that at Christmas we take them indoors.
“Accordion” to save Christmas
Another measure that scientists and the government have been discussing in recent days is the “accordion” strategy. That is, open the economy for a time and then close it for a certain period of time. In fact, Kyriakos Mitsotakis also referred to this from Parliament.
Essentially, it is a proposal that has been debated with a view to Christmas, which provides for the end of the confinement, if conditions allow it, the opening of the economy, shops, etc. (conditionally) for some time and then a quarantine period.
As the Prime Minister stated in his speech: “The vaccine will arrive and when it arrives we will leave this adventure behind but for this to happen we will have to endure a few months. For those who accused us that we should not go to the “accordion” strategy to tell us what they suggest. There has been complacency on the part of the government, we must not make the same mistake again in the run-up to Christmas. To meet only with our loved ones. If we reopen we will have made a hole in the water ”.
According to government plans, the quarantine will be “open and closed” in order to decompress when the Health system and when the “market.” All this while the vaccine is on the way.
Depending on the epidemiological data and the pressure on the health system, the restrictions or even the blockade will be lifted or returned for a period of time.
So we can stay for many months, until the vaccine is found and a large part of the population is vaccinated.
It is recalled that previously in.gr wrote that depending on the epidemiological data, there could be an extension of the blockade, although the government wants to open the market for Christmas.
What the scientists say
Speaking to MEGA, the pulmonologist, intensive care specialist and president of the Greek intensive care company, Anastasia Kotanidou stressed that “at this stage it seems that the virus is transmitted very easily.”
At the same time, he recalled the protective measures, with special emphasis on the use of the mask and the avoidance of co-painting.
Asked about the next few days, the pulmonologist said that the figures we see are something that experts expected to be the cause of the confinement, she stressed, adding that “the cases will be at these levels, we will not see a decrease in cases.” If we see a decrease or at least a stabilization from the middle of next week, we will be happy. “
“Thessaloniki is under a lot of pressure in terms of availability of beds, but we have the opportunity to open more beds. “There are not as many doctors as we would like,” he said of the ICU beds.
“Today in northern Greece and Larissa there were a lot of pipelines,” he said about the situation in hospitals.
“If we are lucky and can transport a patient to a hospital in the same city, we are lucky.” We see other European countries transferring patients to other countries. “
“The main thing is to save the patient, if we need to transport him safely to another unit, we will do it, even in another city,” he added.
Regarding the tragic images that we all saw in Bergamo in the first wave of the pandemic and if Thessaloniki is close to this dramatic development, Ms Kotanidou was optimistic and emphasized that “if we all try together, we will succeed, it is important. follow the protection measures “.
