Analyzing her ominous numbers pandemic, the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association, Athanasios Exadaktylos, Speaking to CNN Greece, he considers the discussion about one inevitable possible lockdown, however this, as he tells us, can avoided in the very simple way of observing the self-protection measures, that is, with a mask, distances, avoiding overcrowding and with the vaccination.

“Self-protection measures could prevent a lockdown”, Mr. Exadaktylos specifically estimates, emphasizing that “if at this moment we had a percentage of vaccinated over 50 years 98% or 100%, no one would discuss a lockdown”.

“They are talking about a lockdown in Germany that has a vaccination rate of about ours. Debate is inevitable, now what will happen [στην Ελλάδα] I do not know, nor can I predict, nor do I consider it necessary, but because it can be avoided in a simpler way “.

Mr. Exadaktylos, declares his concern with the numbers announced daily by EODY, emphasizing that all some point we will be faced with the virus.

“There is no person with elementary logic who does not worry, because at the moment we have consistently three numbers that for a few weeks now tell us that the virus is everywhere, this is what the cases tell us, so we will all meet him or we will meet him again. . “everyone is independent”, he underlines.

At the same time, it recognizes that health system “It is under unbearable pressure mainly in Northern Greece but also in central and Thessaly.”

“We have to say that the system does not have unlimited possibilities and when I say system I mean the state along with the private sector. There is also a pressure for people who can not be served who suffer from other ailments and diseases and we should definitely not increase this pressure and find a way to decompress it. THE cancellation of surgeries “It entails a health cost and for some people it is a financial burden,” he notes.

Mr. Exadaktylos considers that emergency measures will help to stop the diaspora, while for the discussion about mandatory rapid test in Super Market, estimates that “it would not change the image in a magical way”.

Also referring to the people who have not been vaccinated, said that the latest data show that “They are in danger of being persuaded by him.”

What the pandemic numbers tell us

Attempting the analysis of the epidemiological data, the president of the Panhellenic Medical Association notes that these show us that vaccination and self-protection measures are the only way.

“THE first number of cases, tells us that the virus is everywhere. we have a very high number of people that is intubated – the vast majority are unvaccinated which means that vaccinators when they encounter the virus are in danger of being in a bad position and we have a third number here and here for weeks again much higher. daily losses which unfortunately again is in the majority of the unvaccinated which confirms that the previous one tells us that in addition to the miserable position there is also very serious danger for their health “, underlines and adds:

“In terms of action, the first number of cases tells us that we have to take care of him restriction of dispersion all vaccinated and unvaccinated, which does not need to be imposed on us. We know, to wear a mask when we come in contact with other people, to avoid crowded conditions and mass events, to maintain our personal hygiene, this is something we can do on our own to limit the spread. The second number of ICUs tells us that if we are not vaccinated we must be vaccinated. THE second and third numbers that is, the ICU and deaths, tells us that the second, but if we are over 50 this is absolutely urgent. And people who are vaccinated with two doses, not to neglect the third.

“We are all in this wave, some are wearing life jackets and others have chosen not to wear life jackets, but even those who wear life jackets, after a while they deflate and want to strengthen.”

“The measures will help but with everything I described we would have a faster escape from the problem”, concludes Mr. Exadaktylos.
