Our country is one “breath away” from nightmare predictions of at least 1,000 cases per day, with EODY announcing today 935 new confirmed cases of the deadly virus. This is another negative record, the 4th in 5 days, which came the day in Greece when the “mask everywhere” measures were implemented, as well as the ban on night traffic.
Therefore, it is clear to everyone that our country is at a very critical moment in its “battle” with the invisible enemy and that is why both the government and the scientific personnel of the country have already begun to examine the next measures, in in case they also fail. The government’s objective is to avoid a new generalized blockade at all costs.
According to information from MEGA, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and government personnel are considering the “blockade” of the red regions, to close restaurant shops from 9 or 10 at night, as well as the restriction of movements for citizens older than 65 years. years.
As the executives of Maximos point out, the current measures will work or not in the next 15 days, which means that they will have to spend 7 to 10 days to draw conclusions and new decisions.
Scientists “Bell”
Naturally, the increase in cases has sounded the alarm in the scientific community of our country.
Anastasia Kotanidou, Professor of Pneumology and Intensive Care, spoke about measures that did not work as they were not observed.
“The measures that we have taken so far must be fulfilled to bear fruit. It seems that we have not done so until now. We ignore everything and for this result there is a lot of positive evidence” said Ms Kotanidou in the main newsletter of Alpha and continuous:
“Let us remember that the cases we see are positive, but the percentage in relation to the controls remains at the same levels. “There are areas that are different and that is why they go directly to red or orange.”
“Right now we are doing 20 times more tests compared to what was done in March and April. “The important thing is that we have many asymptomatic people and it is a great risk of transmission to the community,” he said, referring to young people:
“How disciplined young people are can be seen in the reports he makes. It’s all our fault. Young people must understand that there is a big problem, the risk is high and, in addition to themselves, they must protect those around them. grandparents and their parents who are in danger of entering the intensive care unit if they get stuck. No one lives only for himself. Young people in this phase, as in the first, must help. “
Regarding the Intensive Care Units and if there seems to be a problem of availability in the future: “We are quite far from the limits. We also have several beds in Attica. “I want to believe that we will never reach the limit.” 
The issue of young people and the responsibility they have in transmitting the virus was also mentioned by the Professor of Pathology at the Medical Department of the University of Patras, Charalambos Gogos, who emphasized that if we all wear masks we can stop the spread.
Referring to the crowded images of Thessaloniki, he noted that the guide to the epidemic is the ages between 20 and 40.
“Most of the cases are in these ages, mainly asymptomatic because these ages did not comply with the previous escalation of measures,” he said, adding, however, that the number of cases compared to others in Europe is low.
Areas in Greece are still in the green-yellow relative to red Europe, but there is a dynamic to that and action must be taken now in light of winter, he said.
He hopes that in the next two weeks we will see the performance of the measures, he said, adding that what we expect is that the number of cases stabilizes and decreases in relation to the tests.
He also rated the level of the health system as relatively good, noting that ICU coverage has dropped below 60% with the problem shifting to single Covid beds due to the large influx of simple incidents, something that should be addressed as in the case of Ioannina.
“50,000 active cases in Greece”
At the same time, there are also nightmare estimates that speak of even 50,000 active cases in Greece.
This terrifying assessment was made by the professor at the University of Crete, Nikos Tzanakis, speaking, in fact, of a conservative prognosis.
“I would say that it is a conservative prediction that I made and that it is due to a series of procedures that I applied. Possibly the active cases, that is, the accumulated potential cases that can transmit the disease, are 50,000. “This is a finding that stems from both empirical methods and statistical epidemiological methods,” he said on the ANT1 morning show.
According to Mr. Tzanakis, the transmissibility index is a little more than 1 in some areas and in others a little below 1, which means, as he pointed out, that each of these cases will transmit the disease to at least one other person. “This is where the issue of individual protection measures and behavior comes into play,” added Mr. Tzanakis.
Extraordinary meeting in Serres for the outbreak of cases
As if that were not enough, tomorrow an extraordinary meeting is scheduled for the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the Serres Regional Unit in the presence of the Governor of Central Macedonia, Apostolos Tzitzikostas and the Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, Nikos Hardalias.
The meeting will take place at the headquarters of the Sub-Region, in the Serres Government, at 9.30 in the morning.
