“People who have not been vaccinated are completely unprotected, and people who delay the booster dose are also at greater risk,” the rector of EKPA warned through SKAI. Athanasios Dimopoulos.
“We are seeing more and more victims refusing vaccines or denying the severity of the virus. “Many people delay staying home, and arrive at the hospital in a very advanced state,” he said.
“People who have been infected with the coronavirus can be re-infected by the mutated strain Omicron,” said Athanasios Dimopoulos. “At least in the vaccinated we expect milder infections… The third booster dose significantly protects the need for hospitalization.”
“The Omicron mutation is clearly more contagious than the other strains, the severity of the disease is not yet clear,” he said.
“Recent data from South Africa show up to ten times the number of cases. Obviously in this state the mutated strain Omicron will prevail. “Only 24% of the population and 43% of adults have been vaccinated.”
“Everyone should be vaccinated, with adult capital”
“It’s clear that science says everyone should be vaccinated. With funds for adults. It must exist for children as well, “warned the professor of Microbiology at the University of West Attica on our station, Alkiviadis Vatopoulos.
“Better to be careful than to cry later,” Mr. Vatopoulos commented characteristically regarding the danger of Omicron.
“Biology says that the prevailing variants that are prevalent are more contagious, but less or just as pathogenic, but it is not certain that this sequel… In order not to have surprises we take measures,” he added.
“It is necessary to vaccinate the entire population, but do not forget the masks and the many rapid tests,” said the professor.
“The question is whether there is a previous dispersion of Omicron”
“We are in a phase of de-escalation, principle of de-escalation, in terms of cases nationwide” noted the professor of Environmental Engineering, Demosthenes Sarigiannis. “I think in the coming days it will be much more pronounced in the case numbers,” he continued.
“The intubation has not yet reached its full peak. Around the 15th of the month we expect the peak of the increasing course of deaths. From there on we expect de-escalation there as well. “The curve is down.”
“The question is whether there is a previous dispersion of Omicron, which could lead to greater dispersion,” he said.
