“We will not let Christmas spoil,” reads from the Moravian-Silesian region. The warning against the death of the lockdown, which is felt by the future Minister of Health Vlastimil Válek, does not address some. “Nothing new.” People are already clear on what to expect from the entire cabinet. “He will just abuse what Babiš did.” As we learn from the media every day, the region has the worst infection rates and hospitals are limiting planned care. “Worst? But, go… ”
“Fortunately, no one in our family was ill. Everything was closed last year and we still didn’t let Christmas ruin it, “says Zdeněk, 40, from the village of Frýdek-Místek. Especially in villages, they do not measure the quality of holiday holidays by the availability of services. Except for one. “We couldn’t go to church,” they say. They don’t want to hear the talk of the “particularly depressing Christmas” that awaits us.

The media show numbers, epidemiologists come up with estimates of hundreds and thousands more dead, and local lockdowns are no longer ruled out. Although the future Minister of Health Vlastimil Válek has a problem with them. “I don’t want to lose another Christmas, another Easter. But now it stinks, “said Vlastimil Válek in an interview with Echo24. Few people will rule out that a certain form of closure will not be avoided by the Moravian-Silesian Region.
Older years take warnings and discussions about possible Christmas restrictions seriously. They fear limited contact with family and loved ones. When asked about Christmas, many people are silent and just shrug their shoulders with a sigh.
Will they just live on what Babis did?
“Nobody knows what Christmas will be like,” thinks senior Karel in front of one of the medical facilities in Frýdek-Místek. It will celebrate seventy-eight years in the fall. As a lifelong athlete, he leans on his wand, but only lightly. “A war? He didn’t inspire me. Vojtěch was better and so was Plaga, “he evaluates with an overview of the expected post-election changes in ministerial posts. “How will the new ones show up? I will just abuse what Babiš did, “he comments. “They have a good starting position. Grandma has prepared something and they can live on it now. I wonder what they will show people now! There is no doubt that Babiš had to solve something that had never been here, “he says with regard to covid.
He himself does not spare criticism of “world champions” without vaccinations. “I have a lot of friends who don’t want to be vaccinated. But it will happen to them as well. They just heard something… “he says. Then he quickly says goodbye and gets into a taxi, which arrives for him in front of the rehabilitation center.
After all, a taxi service is often the only solution if one no longer feels like riding a bus or has no one who can provide him with health care and transportation. Today, no one dares to ask why people do not arrange an ambulance.
The Moravian-Silesian Region is on the black list. He has all the worst worst now, at least in terms of covid. “Is he the worst here?” But go… I won’t say anything about it at all, “in the next shop, the saleswoman with the broom energetically uses the fact that the customers left for a while and wipes the floor. “They’re lying! Politicians, media. No, you have chosen who to contact! We have had restrictions here for two years, “she said angrily. They do not believe that the elections could change anything about it, quite the opposite.

It finally came out. Some will still have surgery
This year, hospitals in northern Moravia were one of the first in the country to announce restrictions on planned care. Whoever enters the health care system through “other doors” is waiting and probably will be. After all, Válek admits it. “By the end of November, most hospitals will have major problems. The hip joints will not be operated on, again a few people will die of colorectal or various tumors, because holts will be closed to them. Chronicles will go to the flowers. Of course, yes, not so many people will die of covid. And then it will be in the spring and next year in the fall again and again and again. Until we get vaccinated, “he also said in an interview for Echo24.
To catch the planned operation is to win the lottery. Whoever is allowed to “get on” still shows joy without hesitation. With a carefully prepared bag and the promise of surgery on Wednesday, the 51-year-old Miloslav M was finally able to pass through the gates of the Frýdek-Místek Hospital. I was afraid I would stop it, but imagine I didn’t. So I’m going. I was supposed to go in February, but covid stopped me, “he described with pleasure that it finally came out. “Everything will be closed again. If you want to live, let them be inoculated, “he said, aiming resolutely” under the knife. “
Senior Zdena is also 100% satisfied with the doctors of the hospital in Frýdek-Místek. “People are afraid that they will limit their care. I have already seen the announcement that they have banned the visit. I was just on an X-ray now. Perfect. It was resolved immediately, “he praises himself.

The Municipal Hospital in Ostrava has already decided. In a press release, he quotes the director, who says what to prepare for: “We tried to provide care for as long as possible without limiting performance. From Friday, however, we will not avoid him due to lack of staff. Here is the situation again that we no longer wanted to experience. In addition, Orthopedics A will be ready to serve as a covid station from the weekend, and will be the first to convene patients with the understanding that their surgery must be postponed. “
Hospitals in the region are looking for hundreds of people for healthcare. Doctors, nurses, other staff. They are competing in the offer for how much.
On Thursday, general inspections of hygienists began throughout the Czech Republic. According to ČTK today, according to the chief hygienists Pavla Svrčinová, the closure of the whole company is not in the plans of the ministry. “It can’t be until a state of emergency is declared,” she told reporters.
