Professor Stankūnas: we move on the path of a pessimistic scenario

As Mindaugas Stankūnas, a professor at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences wrote on Friday on his Facebook account of the social network, the Council of Health Experts predicted 34,040 active cases of COVID-19 for today.

“The statistics show that we have 31,759 cases. It does not seem that we have made a wrong calculation, but it is very sad to see that we are moving on the path of a pessimistic scenario. We predicted that the peak would be reached from November 20 to 27. Hopefully this will happen. , and the sooner the better ”, said the professor.

According to Vytautas Kasiulevičius, family doctor at the VUL Santara clinics at the time, the analysis of the COVID-19 situation shows that we belong to the group of high-risk countries in Europe, when the proportion of positive tests is quite high.

“At that time, the Lithuanian people” endured “only 1 week and began to return to the stores again with the motto” we will die better, but we will buy in time. ” it is not clear. There was more optimism at the beginning of the week.

As Professor Ligita Jančorienė, head of the Infectious Diseases Corps of the VUL Santara Clinics, said at a press conference previously organized by the Ministry of Health, there are currently patients in hospitals who were infected before quarantine. And those who were already infected during the quarantine will only come to hospitals.

“We see patients arriving with serious illnesses in contact with their families, the chain continues. Once the quarantine requirements start, the results certainly won’t be noticed right away. I think it should continue and maybe there is an opportunity to adjust something somewhere, ”said L. Jančorienė.
