On the ATV Weekly Diary program, János Szlávik, the chief infectologist at South Pest Central Hospital, said that
About 30 percent of the patients who went on the ventilator died during the first spring wave, but that number has risen sharply during the second wave, reaching 40 to 45 percent.
In addition to the aforementioned risk groups, the elderly and chronic patients, the chief doctor also stressed that patients with Down syndrome are also at higher risk.
As you said, in the past, most patients were infected in family or mass events, but now the spread in the community is typical:
It is not possible to figure out where that person got the virus.
He went on to say that strict and regular use of masks and disinfection are an essential element of control.
It is becoming more and more common for a patient to be hospitalized who has taken the utmost care with all precautions, but has contracted the coronavirus.
The chief physician also explained that at South Pest Central Hospital there are only coronavirus patients in the intensive care unit who need mechanical ventilation. Their care is a completely different task from other hospitalized patients: here people are kept in an artificial coma and the number of complications increases.
The situation is only aggravated by the gradual rise in the middle age.
According to the infectologist, personal protection will continue to be important and remdesivir will not go to pharmacies.
