The manager of the “Victor Babeș” Institute in Bucharest, Emilian Imbri, expressed his concern about the evolution of the coronavirus epidemic, in a context in which the positive rate increased in Romania to more than 12%.
He stressed that, given the capacity of hospitals and the possibility of treatment, especially in intensive care units, reaching the threshold of 2,000 cases per day would block activity.
“How not to worry when you discover that we are jumping from one plateau to another, but we jump higher and higher, we jump to a plateau of 1,500 boxes, soon to a plateau of 2,000 if things go at this rate.
Things get stuck when you jump to the plateau of 2000 cases. You have a capacity and it is established, especially at ATI. Otherwise, we can build 5 more hospitals, we will equip, we will put the patients to be supervised by surgeons or gynecologists, we will manage a little in terms of the number of beds and people to support the system.
The bad thing is that things are growing and not only Romania is in this situation, but also the countries around us ”.
Asked when he estimates that Romania would enter the second wave of the epidemic, a phenomenon already registered in other European countries, Emilian Imbri replied that the situation is critical even now.
“I will know that I am in wave 2 when the specialists announce to me, that I have finished wave 1. Until then I will find that we are permanently in water up to our knees, I don’t feel any waves, nor has the water decreased or increased. When a person reaches 2000 cases, I already feel water in my throat“Metaphorically explained the director of the Institute” Victor Babeș “.
