Podersky sounds the alarm bells: he said why taking the exam may no longer matter

“Let’s start with a simple thing: the virus does not work within us. T. and. There are no people who eat bruises from those who then transmit the virus to others. Therefore, all cases of the virus begin with its introduction and then they spread to the population. Very simple and partly because of this, eg New Zealand is doing well. “It is very easy to control the entry of the virus into the country, prevent it, etc.”, he assured.

According to Podersky, it is more difficult to trace the virus within the population: epidemiologists must work here, who, according to him, although the name sounds complicated, basically do a very simple but important job: collecting and isolating the contacts of a sick person.

“It is helpful to do timely tests and react to the results of those tests. So the virus came out, caught it all, isolated it, contracted it, controlled it. There are all kinds of deviations in the process: people who are isolated, p. He goes to sports clubs because “well, what to do” and other more fun and sad situations. This work is simple, because it is a simple questionnaire with many people, it can be done faster or slower depending on the technologies used, the operating methods, the organization of the process, ”explained the director of the municipal administration.

Doing the test, doesn’t it matter anymore?

According to him, the NVSC is responsible for this process and, unfortunately, its processes are the same as in January, when the handwriting of people coming from Milan began.

“They are probably in a basement or archive now, or maybe they have been successfully recycled and used again, more significantly. I won’t go into the details of the job (or maybe a little later), but the The result is obvious: there are delays in the “epidemiological studies, which is basically the identification of those who have been in contact with patients, there are around 1000 studies of this type according to the NVSC itself today. The number must and can be calculated in units or a maximum of tens “.

Because, he continued, the system is not working and quarantine has been introduced, it is possible to stop testing people – all people who have felt ill have symptoms – they have to isolate themselves and become ill, and in case of deterioration – Go to the hospital.

“Doing a test and turning one or the other counter no longer matters here. And very good, because once the national laboratory ran out of resources to use for research. It will not be possible to buy them faster, because they are not close and you will not be able to get them, you will not be able to redirect to other mechanisms, it is not worth it either, because the research team is adapted to those means.

Thus, the benefits of the tests become questionable when the epidemiological studies do not come out, it is good that reagents are saved and studies are not carried out. That’s wrong? Was it necessary to calculate when the mobile points expanded, their volumes increased, so that more media were needed? Apparently it was necessary, but just as good, when a broken system overlaps, because there is a plus for two minus! ”Wrote P. Poderskis.

The media, he assured, will now be tested very quickly, but how it will work will be monitored, but he anticipates that there may be problems with the tests.

NVSPL: Acquisition of test tubes was not performed

Unlike P. Poderski, Danas Bakša, Director of the National Public Health Laboratory (NSPL), told Delfi that the lack of means for CPA LT to buy 410,000 units was not lacking at present. The tubes needed for coronavirus (COVID-19) tests were not made.

“Your winner withdrew his bid because he does not have a sufficient number of tubes and will not be able to deliver the order on time. For this reason, the supplier stated that the producers of the goods refuse to export the goods from their country. The second place winner has the right to decide within 10 days. If you refuse to sign the contract, the third provider will also have 10 days to respond again. This further lengthens the hiring process, which is already disproportionately long due to the current legal framework. “

The purchase, he said, was announced at the end of September, and the news of the impossibility of executing it reached the NVSPL only these days, on November 10.

“Can you imagine how long the acquisition process takes? In such a situation, NVSPL does everything possible and does everything possible to ensure that investigations are not interrupted. Therefore, the tubes will have to be purchased through unannounced negotiations. Failure to do so would stop the research, which would be an undue luxury when research must be done here and now as the number of infections increases, as it relies on human treatment and control of the coronavirus.

According to the director, more than 10 potential service providers that could potentially deliver the required amount of tubes in the minimum time were interviewed through the non-negotiated procurement, and only four providers have the opportunity to deliver the tubes in the minimum time with which contracts will be concluded.

“We currently have tubes, but they are reserved for mobile points. NVSPL specialists are doing their best to address this issue and accelerate tube procurement to minimize the impact of the research process. We are working intensively with vendors and the addition is expected to ship this Friday. With the resources currently available, the investigation process should not be stopped or interrupted, ”he said.
