Mina Gaga, pulmonologist and coordinating director of the VII Pulmonary Clinic of the Sotiria Hospital, president of the Central Health Council, appealed to the public to comply with the measures for the coronavirus.

The pulmonologist described a really difficult situation in the hospitals that are called to treat cases of coronavirus.

“Today we have opened five clinics and two units, so things are difficult. We as physicians are anxious about how to treat cases, treat them well, and prevent deaths, ”he characteristically says, speaking on TEMA 104.6.

If we have 1,000 cases a day, there is no way we can handle them.

“I would hope that, after these months that we have the measures, that we have learned, that we see things, we will be better prepared as citizens, to be careful and stop the pandemic. “If we have 1,000 cases a day and patients stay two or three weeks, there is no way we can have more than twice as many hospitals,” she explains.

15-15 incidents are coming, it’s scary

He continues: “I was hoping that now we are better than in spring, we are not. The hospitalization rate really scares us. There are 15-15 incidents, which is scary for us. Our number scares us a lot. As soon as the unit opens, it fills up. “Our rhythm is very scary and it is up to us to stop it.”

“We don’t have a vaccine, we don’t have adequate medications. Public health measures are those that can stop the pandemic for both health and the economy. “The pace is fast and scares us,” concluded the director.
