The interlocutor of the program said that only the recommendation to use masks does not work, so stricter solutions are needed.
“Yes, I really think that is correct,” said the epidemiologist.
The number of cases is increasing, authorities say: the masks will be mandatory, but there will be no quarantine. Recalling the first quarantine, when only the units were sick, but the measures were much stricter, epidemiologist S. Čaplinskas says that now such rigorous restrictions are no longer necessary.
“I think that’s really adequate. If we go back, all but one of my knowledge has paid off since the beginning of the pandemic. I said at the beginning of the pandemic that I did not imagine it was so serious lokdaunas, the total blockade of the city or the country is possible in western democracies. And in that sense, let’s be frank, it was too long, too strict, for the Saul Skvernel government, it was irrational.
Gi quarantine does not solve anything, only postpones the solution of the problem. And for a moment it was necessary for all of us to prepare: there would be drugs, protective equipment, diagnostics, treatment. Then there was no vaccine. And then it became clear that the quarantine didn’t have to last long if we were ready, ”he said.
The epidemiologist said it would be an unforgivable mistake to return to a total closure of the country.
“And now that we have the vaccines, fantasizing about going back to the total closure of the country would be an unforgivable mistake. Not only against the economy, but also against our children, “said S. Čaplinskas on the show.
He said such a decision would ruin lives and their future.
“Why should children suffer because we, as adults, do not protect the elderly and our parents or grandparents who are at high risk of contracting the disease? Some older people, if we don’t protect them, they simply won’t survive, “said S. Čaplinskas, an epidemiologist who spoke on the Info Day program.
He argued that the Passport of Opportunities, which has a positive effect in the short term, also has a negative one in the long term.
“Let’s think for ourselves if we are talking about the same Passport of Opportunities. What is its impact in the short and long term. Both for the individual and for society as a whole. We probably understand and see that some people have been vaccinated. And we have that positive short-term effect. On the other hand, the division of people has reached an impossible limit, there is such a negative effect here, “commented S. Čaplinskas on the situation.
The epidemiologist stressed that those who think that having an Opportunity Passport should no longer be protected at all can have very bad consequences.
When asked how much time was left before the end of the pandemic, epidemiologist S. Čaplinskas preached on the show that this was the last difficult winter with this virus.
“I think we can say with a lot of probability that this winter will be the last so difficult. Perhaps more difficult than before because the virus has changed. And there are very few people with immunity. But the more you go, the more there will be. And those memory cells will accumulate and things like that. And gradually those waves should get smaller and smaller. But it will take several more years for the virus to become as common as other coronaviruses, ”said epidemiologist S. Čaplinskas on the Info Day program.
