The head of the Romanian Society for Microbiology, Dr. Alexandru Rafila, believes that there were ten times more cases of infection, but even with 120,000 cases reported to the Romanian population, the percentage is small.
The doctor says that there has been a clear difference between the evolution of the pandemic in the countries of Eastern Europe and Western Europe, but there is still no explanation.
“It is true that we do not know the actual number of cases because there are many people who went through the disease without being symptomatic, did not know they had the disease, or had extremely nonspecific symptoms that did not make them present.” to the doctor There are 200,000 confirmed cases in France, and the seroprevalence study showed me that there are 6% French, that is, 3.6 million people. This means that there is an 18-fold difference between the number of cases diagnosed and the number of people who have had the disease. And that’s what happens with the flu. It doesn’t just happen with this disease. The amount of flu diagnosed is much, much less than the actual amount of flu. It is a reality, we have no way to change it and it is good that it is so, “Alexandru Rafila said on Digi 24 on Wednesday night, according to News.ro.
He believes that ten times more cases of coronavirus infection were likely in Romania than those diagnosed.
“We don’t even have much, we have 12,000 diagnosed cases, and there were probably 10 times as many, but compared to the Romanian population, 120,000 will see this as an extremely low percentage.” Because of this, I don’t think that we had an extremely intense circulation of the virus in Romania, we had it in some places like Suceava. You can’t even compare Suceava to Bucharest, because we had 3,000 cases in Suceava, the vast majority in the city of Suceava, at least 2,000 cases, a city with 120,000 inhabitants. We once had 1,000 in Bucharest, where we have 2 million inhabitants. The differences are very, very big. It means that the virus circulated a lot there and I have to take some measures there, “Alexandru Rafila also stated.
He said that across Eastern Europe, compared to Western Europe, “there is an extremely clear line of separation.”
“We have considerably less than 1,000 cases per million inhabitants in all countries, in Western Europe it is much larger. We have no explanation at this time. It was a study that was not completed, since here children receive the BCG vaccine at birth, which induces a certain time of immunity. We have no explanation. We practically have a number of cases per million inhabitants similar to the number of deaths per million inhabitants in other countries. It is incredible, “also explained Alexandru Rafila.
In Romania, 11,978 coronavirus cases were diagnosed at noon on Wednesday.
