Portugal cases enter a new wave, reaching almost 25 thousand daily
Once again, the SARS CoV-2 virus shows that everything can change from one week to another, just a new strain of one of the existing variants or a new variant. Portugal is an example of this. The number of cases increased by almost 50% in just one week, the one in which the barrier of 20 thousand cases was passed again and the countries 24 thousand cases, when last week, based on data from real cases, evaluation by data from real cases from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, indicated that only 15 or 16 thousand cases should be treated as a daily average.
Professor Carlos Antunes, who since the beginning of the pandemic has been part of the team that has been modeling the evolution of the pandemic, confirms: “Almost without realizing it, an exponential increase in cases is happening again. More cases in all regions and age groups, more deaths and already starting to denote an increase in hospitalizations in some regions”.
Therefore, from a mathematical point of view, it is concluded that “a new wave, mathematically, is defined in a definite way, and that from an epidemiological point of view it can be said that it is that of a new lineage of the Ómicron approach, the BA.5 , which prevails in relation to BA.2, another to greater mobility and social contact with less protection”.
“The data analyst even says that such growth has not yet been detected in other European countries”, and that “Portugal may be the first, although it is already happening in South Africa and the USA”. The teacher would never admit to having thought that he could give up the use of a mask quickly, that it should be so powerful, but so likely used with a strong message that it should continue to be in closed spaces with lots of people and that the growth of cases is dependent on self. – risk assessment.
We can walk to a vacancy to be able to be in January
The professor considers that information on the state of the situation to be given to the population in a clear and daily way is important, “the population has lost the notion of risk and it is necessary that the information reaches them”, even defending that the political and political authorities of health has already started to hold conferences to explain what is happening, recognize that this attitude has to do with the weighting of the risk of doing it.
A week ago, Carlos Antunes DN that, even if he could increase the situation, the situation in terms of gravity, now he wouldn’t know what could happen. “We will see immunity and natural immunity will be enough to stop this wave or if we will even have the need to apply a step back, since the protection that there is a step back is already protected, and that there is no protection that the tests have freedom to return, the SNS Line 24 will continue to be used by the patient participant, nor should the mandatory use of the mask Portugal rebalance this, but certainly, under penalty of acting later”.
Cases have skyrocketed and information is getting out of date by the day. At the beginning of the week, the R
