As this week started, we have a greater acceleration, we had a few months in which the epidemic began to decrease as a result of the measures, but the pandemic accelerated and completely recovered the lost momentum, so any measure taken so far was completely swallowed for the epidemic “ said the epidemiologist.
„To be honest, they weren’t alarmed enough and they weren’t alarmed in time. The role of the authorities is to detect such a problem in time, people do not have the tools to monitor such growth so we have INSP and other institutes, including independent researchers like me who monitor and warn in advance. The fact that the necessary measures are not taken when these notices appear or worse that the communication of the INSP is inhibited as happened after that circus with the Prefecture of Bucharest and with the indicators, is not a good sign, the epidemiologist also noted.
Romania hardly had a first wave, yet took action
It has become very clear since October 18, when the results in Israel began to become visible, that tough measures are needed in both the second wave and the first. I have repeated throughout Europe the same mistakes from the first wave. Romania, on the first wave took tough and timely measures, so we didn’t have the first wave at all, when we look at the curve now it is not even visible compared to the second, for a very good reason. It is strange that I personally do not understand, in the second wave we decided to act behind Europe, not before, so we ended up in this situation.
What could be done, exactly the measures that were announced for today should have come into effect about a month ago, since then it would have had an impact because it would have fallen into a falling bottom and then we could have stopped the epidemic. we try to brake a truck, but we only put our foot on the brake once a week “ Octavian Jurma explained.
Current government measures, such as nightly quarantine and the use of masks throughout the country, or the closure of markets, will bring a reduction in cases, but not a brake on the COVID-19 epidemic.
“The current measures will have a similar result to those of the beginning of October, they will stop the acceleration, but it is not enough to stop the acceleration, we must reach zero as in summer, when the acceleration is zero we have that plateau, but even then we have a speed note, we cannot afford to stay at 10-15,000 boxes a day so we must apply measures to put brakes and begin to see a decrease in this acceleration, to see negative accelerations only these measures can lead to zero, so it is They need very tough and very fast measures because the greater the mass of infected people, the more difficult it is to stop these waves ”, added the expert.
About Soft Lock and Tight Lock Measures
“They saw that a public opinion was formed in favor of tougher decisions and it was decided to take some measures, but they are not hard enough. The population would have accepted, I am convinced, a two or three week quarantine to guarantee the return to predictability “. , people no longer want normality, they are so stressed, these are signals that I also receive from the business area, they would be satisfied with a predictability that can be introduced in a short period of lockdown. But with this soft blockade measure, the world has the impression that tough measures have been taken, because they seem so, but they are soft, they are measures that other European countries have taken two or three weeks ago. Most of them are now moving towards strict lockdown measures and now I see the curves tapering off because they were taken in the October 21-22 area. “ the epidemiologist explained live to newsprotv.
