Albert-László Barabási came home from the United States at the end of July and I was surprised
Stores were open, downtown restaurants were full, the “full” sign at Lake Balaton. And nowhere is there a mask.
The world famous network researcher told his American friends “sometimes with pride, sometimes with disbelief about the Hungarian miracle, the life that returned to its normal bed.”
However, the situation has changed since then:
At the end of July, with 10 to 20 new infections a day, the pride was also legitimate. In August, however, we burned the health capital that we worked for in the spring.
Said the scientist.
“Two weeks ago, when 100 new infections were registered, it already seemed like a large number. Yesterday’s 500 scares me, “wrote Albert-László Barabási, adding that this number means that” there are approximately 100,000 active infections among us, one in every 100 Hungarians. ” So he says the same thing as the rector of Semmelweis University, Merkely Béla.
Going one step further, the network researcher describes that this means that “every day dozens of people pass me by who have shed the invisible virus and still do not know about themselves.”
According to him, the conclusion is as follows:
If we want a school for our children and the opportunity to enter the workplace and open shops and services, perhaps a theater and a movie theater, and if we do not want the virus to carry its victims among our parents, perhaps still there is a possibility. In light of the new numbers, I put a mask back on.
