In Greece today only the summer myth of the end of the pandemic works
Grigoris Gerotziafas with an article – analysis in iEidiseis, records one by one the mistakes that are made today in dealing with pandemic underlines that the “needs of the market” dictated the lifting of the measures.
As he adds “in Greece today more than half with coronavirus in the ICU will unfortunately die”, while “in France the corresponding percentage is below 25% already from September 2020!”.
At the same time, it sends the message: “Be careful, wear masks, keep your distance, avoid crowds, do not share the same spoon.”
Detailed article on iEidiseis:
In Greece, protection and distancing measures are lifted, vaccination control is abolished and consequently the vaccination campaign is weakened while the margin of a fine of 100 euros for the “acquisition of the right not to be vaccinated” is also abolished. That is, once again the government ended the pandemic. We are marching for summer freedom and we are waiting for the “start in September”.
The daily death toll of about 50 from COVID-19 is presented as a success as we are used to higher numbers. The leadership of the Ministry of Health, essentially adopting the argument of the negative of the pandemic, considers that the phenomenon is almost natural as “these are elderly people and citizens with concomitant diseases”.
So are we getting to the jungle kingdom? Does the modern Kaiadas have to be reinvented?
According to the official “narrative”, the lifting of the measures, while the 5th wave continues, is justified as “coordination of the country with the corresponding pandemic management policies currently applied in other EU countries” and is imposed by its “operational needs. Buy”.
Indeed, in France, Portugal and other European countries the strict distancing measures and the control of the vaccination certificate have been abolished for about 3 weeks, while the mass universal vaccination shows in practice the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines. to cultivate health chaos with “junta” rhetoric and violation of “individual rights”).
But this is half true. The other half, which is artificially hidden, is the following:
In Greece today, more than half of COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU will unfortunately die. In France the corresponding percentage is below 25% as early as September 2020!
In Greece tomorrow, more than 30% of patients treated in conventional wards will need to be admitted to the ICU and will not be able to find beds. In France and Portugal the corresponding percentage is currently zero. In Greece today, patients with COVID-19 arrive at the hospital late and in serious condition. In France, primary care for COVID-19 patients has been active for 18 months.
In Greece today, access to health services for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 continues to be expensive and difficult. In France this problem has been addressed since the first half of the pandemic because the public care system was operational and part of the private sector planning.
In France and Portugal, as early as October 2021 we have a fully vaccinated percentage higher than 80% of the single population. In Greece this percentage was reached in February 2022, after a criminal delay of 6 months with the consequence that in the last 6 months we have more than 13,000 dead (ie more than half since the beginning of the pandemic), thousands crippled, while the number citizens suffering from long COVID-19 can not yet be counted.
In France and Portugal the Welfare State functioned – with a thousand problems due to their neoliberal policies of disorganization. In Greece today only the summer myth of the end of the pandemic works.
There is no point in repeating what the international pandemic guidelines say. We have been monotonously repeating ourselves for the past two years, talking to “deaf ears”. They are not interested in the health of the people. They are not interested in preventing the prescribed death.
So the message is one: Be careful, wear masks, keep your distance, avoid crowds, do not share the same spoon “.
