Expert in the field of information technologies prof. Dr. Petar Kočović said this morning that he was predicting an increase in the number of coronavirus patients every day, but that he could not have predicted such an “explosion” in Europe.
Kocovic explained that the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) divides countries into colored zones: green zone (0 to 15 infected per 100,000), yellow zone (15-30 infected per 100,000), red zone (30 -50 infected per 100,000) and purple zone (50+ infected per 100,000 inhabitants).
– The Germans introduced a purple zone, and if we look at the number of infected people in some countries, we could introduce, let’s say, a dark purple zone. Israel, for example, had more than 1,100 patients per 100,000 inhabitants, and Serbia at that time had 20. Montenegro had 620 patients at a time, and now there are 550, says Kočović.
As he says, Serbia is behaving fantastically, although it is no longer the best in Europe. Our country, as it said yesterday, has 32 patients for every 100,000 inhabitants.
He adds that the third wave in Serbia will be ready around the New Year, but emphasizes that this is a long-term forecast that is itself inaccurate.
– We have entered the red zone and the growth trend will continue for the next six days. If we can avoid what is happening in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Montenegro, then we can hope that everything will be as it should be, says Kočović.
What does the coronavirus do to the lungs?
Internist pulmonologist prim. dr sci. medicine Branislav Gvozdenović explains that between 10 and 15 percent of serious patients who require hospitalization very quickly develop pneumonia, which is very severe.
– Pneumonia can develop in just two or three days and can lead to a very difficult patient condition, shortness of breath, decreased oxygen in the blood and very often we have to provide support for breathing – says Dr. Gvozdenović.
In such cases, as he himself says, all measures and drugs such as remdesivir are applied.
– Previously, it was the hydrochloroquine with which we did not do very well, then the latest drugs like dexamethasone … These are drugs that are used in the most severe cases, there are some in Serbia and they are prescribed according to the doctor’s evaluation – says Dr. Gvozdenović.
