Coronavirus: Professor of Pulmonology – Intensive Care is particularly concerned, Theodoros Vasilakopoulos after Newsbomb.gr lens recorded images in Syntagma Square over the weekend – Warns of an “explosion” of cases in the coming days – It takes time to return to normal
The images recorded over the weekend in the center of Athens and Thessaloniki caused an alarm in the government and the commission of the Ministry of Health for the coronavirus, with hundreds of citizens crowded together.
Reduction of cases and intubations, demonstrating that strict measures preceived in early November they work although slower than expected, it can be canceled in a few days if we are complacent.
At the same time, experts are sounding the alarm for these images, but also for the relaxation that can be at family tables at Christmas and New Years.
“Bell” sounded as he spoke to Newsbomb.gr and Professor Theodoros Vasilakopoulos both for the crowds in the squares and for New Year’s Eve. As you emphasize, if we’re not careful there will be an “explosion” of cases, which means … backtracking.
«The problem is not only in the family Christmas and New Year tables, there is no magic number of how many we should be. The problem is also in the squares, where there is overcrowding“, Reports in Newsbomb.gr and warns of an increase in infections “,With mathematical precision there will be an “explosion” of cases. After all, the weather is not an ally. How big this “explosion” will be will depend on us, if we are careful and we are».
«What we must emphasize is that we are not going to go into the third wave of the pandemic. For one simple reason. The second wave is not over yet, it’s just in recession“He adds, noting that we have not yet finished with the 2nd wave of the coronavirus that has hit Europe and Greece since September.
When will we see an “explosion”? The lockdown will not end on January 7.
Although according to the latest announcements by the government spokesman, Stelios Petsas, the shutdown in Greece normally ends on January 7, however, according to Vasilakopoulos, such a thing is almost impossible.
«We will see the consequences of the relaxation images, but also New Year’s Eve in about 15 days. That is, around January 7, there will be an increase in infections.“, Emphasizes on Newsbomb.gr The teacher.
As for the return to the coveted normality, according to this professor, it may be reached in the summer of 2021, when a large percentage of the population will have been vaccinated and the transmission of the virus will have been reduced.
“In the summer we will get our lives back,” says Vasilakopoulos.
Will the vaccine be affected by coronavirus mutations?
Regarding a mutated strain of the coronavirus, Mr. Theodoros Vasilakopoulos speaking with Newsbomb.gr stressed that this is not the first time that the coronavirus mutates, but it is common to viruses.
“The coronavirus is constantly mutating, this is not the first time we have seen a mutation in it. The mutation, which was detected in the UK, is suspected to spread faster, but there is no documentation in the laboratory. That is, it has not been tested in the laboratory, it has not been published in a scientific journal ”.
However, the “bell” rang and said we should be vigilant.
“It does not mean, however, that the mutation of the virus is even more deadly.” Viruses do not benefit from killing their hosts, because without humans they cannot survive. “
Regarding the vaccine and the prevailing concern for its effectiveness, Mr. Vasilakopoulos emphasizes on Newsbomb.gr than those that have already developed it will be effective.
As he explains, “coronavirus vaccines produce antibodies against many proteins, spikes, whenever they work.”
