“It just came to our notice then. Because according to current figures, growth has accelerated compared to last week. And we already have or 4 municipalities where last year’s records were broken. I think we will beat last year’s records this year, “predicted V. Zemlys-Balevičius.
He said this is due to the delta strain of the virus and the active part of the public that is opposed to the vaccine.
“It just came to our knowledge then. It all depends on the behavior of our people. And autumn is the time when we return to the premises. (…) It is not surprising that the number of diseases is increasing,” he said on the program.
According to the data scientist, the only way out of the epidemic is vaccination.
“And in vaccination, that policy resulted in two different messages being issued, one that vaccination was needed and the other that vaccines were dangerous.” And then for the average person, what is left? He is not vaccinated. There is no need to look for anything else here, looking at other countries. We just have a low vaccination rate and that’s enough to make the epidemic rampant, “said the interviewer.
He said that one of Lithuania’s successes had turned into failure: When the pandemic was properly treated in previous waves, fewer people got sick, so the percentage of immunizations remains low at this time.
Portugal declares that there is nothing left to vaccinate. In it, the vaccination process is led by the military, not a politician. V. Zemlys-Balevičius stated on the program that the depoliticization of the entire pandemic management process would have been helpful.
“We just realized that the epidemic had become more political. (…) We listen to the experts, we deliver to a special center with a team that takes care of everything, and we report the results to the politicians. Lithuania is not that, ”said V. Zemlys-Balevičius.
The interlocutor of the program said that the management of the pandemic is quite chaotic at the moment. And we don’t have the level of authority that Portugal has.
Delfi recalls that on Wednesday the Statistics Department reported around 2.5 thousand. new cases. More than 2,000. New cases were also registered on Thursday.
There are only a dozen municipalities left in Lithuania that have not yet entered the COVID-19 black zone.
