“If the parents work remotely and the children go to school, the distance from the parents will not be effective. If the children are at home and the parents have coffee with their coworkers, the student’s vacation will be meaningless.

If the whole family sits at home and the “sweetest relatives” or friends come to the guests, the virus will spread further. If we meet in supermarkets, near Christmas trees or elsewhere, neither excellent exhaust ventilation nor strong wind from outside will help, ”wrote Vytautas Kasiulevičius, Vice Dean, Professor and Doctor of the Vilnius University Medical Faculty , on your Facebook account.

According to him, the only drugs that can stop the infection at the most favorable moment of its spread, in December, are to adhere to a distance of two meters, a minimum stay together and protective masks.

“Lithuania’s death curve then turned towards Poles, Czechs, Austrians and many other countries with the largest pandemic outbreaks. Where the pandemic situation is under control, the death curves are stable,” added the professor.

By analyzing the mortality of Covid-19 in detail, V. Kasiulevičius observes that this pandemic is equal in scale and damage to the pandemics of the 19th and 20th centuries.

“The cytokine storm caused by the coronavirus and its consequences claim the majority of lives. Antibiotics and antiviral drugs are of little ransom here, and the monoclonal antibody cocktails that saved President Donald Trump are still being investigated and only available for the US market.

The vaccine is mainly available to the most powerful and active countries in the world. It takes a daily, tireless and focused effort to get a vaccine for your country. It is not enough to sit on the back bench and raise your hand patiently, ”wrote V. Kasiulevičius.

Therefore, it offers something simple to the Lithuanian population: try to reduce the number of diseases in the country.

“After introducing the quarantine on November 7, Lithuania applied the German quarantine model. Germany has “frozen” the situation and it has not changed for a month, and things have deteriorated in Lithuania. The conclusion is simple: our restrictions were not effective enough, the disease curve, although not exponential, is still rising. We must find solutions that reduce the curve, “wrote the professor.
