“When I heard the news, I immediately reacted that we really have a lot of cases, a lot of growth. The number of infected people increases every day. This is a very red flag. If we start looking for numbers to make decisions, then we can go to the mill with beets. Life is already showing that the number of infected people is increasing, which means that it is necessary to react very quickly and strictly to this matter ”, said A. Laiškonis.
The teacher proposes three immediate steps. The first is to reduce the number of events.
“Without events like those that took place, for example, in Kaunas, in the courtyard of” Adform “, it is possible to do it completely,” said A. Laiškonis.
The second thing, in the professor’s opinion, is to stop talking about it and, ultimately, limit the opening hours of cafes, restaurants and discos, and strictly control their compliance.
“You still need to think about keeping your distance at events like the Opera. I have an example, I had to visit the Čiurlionis Festival in Palanga last week. One third of the room was sitting with veins side by side, two thirds of the seats were empty, “said A. Laiškonis.
The professor also did not like the way Freedom Road was organized, that its participants were not warned to keep their distance from each other.
“The idea itself is very beautiful, but it was necessary to think not only of Belarus, but also of ourselves,” said A. Laiškonis.
The professor urged to refrain from the pompous celebrations of September 1.
Small mortality figures explained
According to the professor, the mortality rates are not high because COVID-19 is no longer diagnosed in the elderly.
“I follow the news on a world scale, I keep in touch with the French Pasteur Institute. Just yesterday I read an article that currently has the highest incidence among people aged 32 to 50 years. People of this age get sick more easily if they do not have comorbidities or if we do not know that they are sick because they have asymptomatic forms, ”said A. Laiškonis.
According to the official Lithuanian COVID-19 morbidity statistics by age groups, most of the COVID-19 cases are in the age groups 40-49 (500 cases) and 50-59 (578 cases). More details can be found here.
