Warning: we can reach 1,000 cases a day
The alarm bell is sounded by the infectious disease specialist, Marios Lazanas, and the professor of Environmental Engineering at the Polytechnic School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Demosthenes Sarigiannis, for the course of the pandemic in Greece.
The experts pointed out, speaking to SKAI, that if the measures are not strictly implemented by all, the outlook we see today will get worse.
“There is a progressive increase in cases that started in August and especially in Attica, which led us to propose the new measures,” said Mr. Lazanas.
As he mentioned, the measures are no longer being complied with and that is what led to the new measures. The epidemiological burden in Attica is constantly increasing and we are close to hitting the “red” while pointing If the load on Attica is not reduced, the measures may be tightened.
Mr. Lazanas highlighted that universal use of the mask should have already been done and how the next steps could be taken confinement, the generalization of the outdoor mask while emphasizing that social interactions should be limited and people with underlying illnesses should sit more at home.
As he mentioned, there are several elements from which it can be said that the epidemic is getting worse and these are the daily increase in cases, hospitalizations, the need for intensive treatment, while he stressed that at this time ICUs have started and are “squeezed “. “There is still pressure on the units …” “I am afraid this percentage will increase even more …” Young people are also being intubated. “

“Based on the calculations from the end of October with the change in climate and the change in the contagion of the virus and a number of other factors, for example, the simultaneous start of the flu season, etc., leads to an increase in November even more significant and even more important in December ”adding that“ if we let it evolve we can reach four-digit cases ”.
Asked about if it is possible by the end of the year to reach 1000 cases per day He stressed that it is possible, but believes that Greek society will understand the importance of the measures.
Mr. Lazanas also noted that schools had to open by all means. “There will be cases, the question is in what percentage we will have cases” while she stressed that this wave is worse than the first because then we were leaving winter while now we are entering winter. “The coronavirus came to settle,” he added.
About the vaccine “I don’t think it’s ready by the end of the year,” he said.
