It will be a surprise if we do not reach a four digit number of cases coronavirus, dear speaking Manolis Dermitzakis, Professor of Genetics at the University of Geneva.
Talking to Sky, the professor even talked about possibility be scored up 2000 cases, saying in particular that if we double every five or six days, in about a week from now, we will not be able to reverse the course of the virus and therefore we will go by those numbers.
“It is something that we must realize, it is not strange,” emphasized Mr. Dermitzakis, emphasizing that if we see the curves in other countries it is very steep, in fact almost vertical, in just a few days we have doubled.
“We just have to understand what that means and how we can reverse it,” he said.
According to him, the new measures announced by the Prime Minister go in the right direction and perhaps should have been taken earlier for a better prevention framework and to avoid the increase.
“Maybe we should have taken them before the bell rang,” he said.
“We have seen in all European countries that chasing the virus leads nowhere because what we see today is the result of broadcasts made 15 days ago, so the measures we are taking now will bear fruit in 10-15 days and there will be a gap of about a month. “We will see increases that will not be controlled,” he said, adding that in other European countries there was a feeling that the situation was stabilizing and then there was a sharp increase.
“In Greece we had a suspicion that it would happen and unfortunately it happened,” he said.
According to Dermitzakis, the problem is that we will continue to see increases because the measures they won’t be able to stop immediately of the virus and do not reach.
In more detail, the professor expressed the belief that these new measures they could also be nationwide since the fact that the areas are not large has as a consequence from one area to another that they are transmitted very easily and change color (red-orange, etc.) very easily.
Summing up that he is in favor of horizontal measures, Mr Dermitzakis finally explained that the new measures cover 70% of the population of Greece.
“So I think they could be 100% so that we have full coverage,” he concluded.
It is highlighted that on Thursday EODY announced 882 new cases99 were associated with known influxes, while 52 were detected after controls at the country’s entry gates. The total number of cases is 28,216, of which 55.5% are men.
