The real picture that exists in the health system was described by the Professor of Epidemiology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Athens, Athena Linou.

As Jordanis Hasapopoulos and Anthi Voulgaris highlighted speaking on the “Society Hour MEGA” program and Jordanis Hasapopoulos and Anthi Voulgaris, “special attention is needed because we are in an insidious state of war, nobody knows who will be hit by the pandemic.”

Ms. Linou reiterated the need to take measures, not necessarily stricter, but measures that are applicable and acceptable to citizens. “It is not enough to announce the measures, you have to make them desirable, achievable and credible. And this is quite difficult with this disease,” said the Professor of Epidemiology at EKPA.

What would be the true quarantine

“This is not a real quarantine now,” Ms. Linou said, explaining that the real quarantine would be for everyone to stay home and receive only medicine, water and food and not go anywhere or meet anyone. “I don’t know if we can do it with some other form of quarantine,” he added, highlighting that the data for the next few days will show the need for similar measures.

Regarding the state’s response to the pandemic, Athena Linou was clear: “The state is pulling the strings.” That and related studies that would convince citizens. “They would help us take timely local measures to reduce the pandemic,” he added.

At the same time, Ms. Linou addressed the global issue of dealing with the pandemic, emphasizing that the global scientific community has no experience in dealing with the pandemic. “The previous one was 100 years ago and nobody is alive,” he added.

For his part, the editorial consultant of the newspaper “TA NEA”, George Papachristos referred to the government’s decision to toughen the confinement measures, highlighting that it was obvious that something like this had to be done since the course of the coronavirus cases.

The course of the cases will judge the most severe measures

“What we are seeing is not quarantine, we are going for a walk”, stressed Mr. Papachristos, explaining that “when there are 4,500,000 sms to 13033 every day, it seems that there is a problem”.

“I have the feeling that the government is relaxed in the observance of the quarantine. The reasons are theirs and have mainly to do with the economy,” said Mr. Papachristos, emphasizing that the course of cases in the next ten days will show if we will be taken to absolute quarantine.

Grigoris Psarianos was in favor of faithful observance of the measures already decided to fight the pandemic, pointing out that if the measures taken so far had been observed, we would not have reached this point. “If we had followed the measures, we would not have blocked the hospitals,” he characteristically noted.
