“There will be people who will die while they could live, because the system will not be able to withstand them, that is what we are afraid of,” Microbiology professor Alkiviadis Vatopoulos told SKAI. Mr. Vatopoulos was very cautious about the general ban, while he mentioned that the committee of experts will meet for the schools in the coming days, adding that with Omikron the rate of increase of cases can change.
“The message should not be passed on that (Omicron) is just a cold … It may be a simple cold in a large part of the population, but the large numbers will obviously cause a lot of serious incidents, and we will obviously have a problem,” he warned. .
As he explained, “Based on the experience of Britain and South Africa, we know that this epidemic is rising rapidly and very quickly. It can go up even more. “No one knows how much it will go up, there is a ceiling when the whole population has started to be immunized.”
The unvaccinated will not go anywhere we will not call him
“All the other days will be full of cases. Anxiety of all of us is to see how serious the incidents will be this is the key. There is already an increase in hospitalizations in Britain. “Fortunately in Britain there is still no increase in ICU imports,” said Mr. Vatopoulos.
“The message is caution, antigen test now that we will be gathering in the houses for the New Year before we enter the house. It does not matter if we do three or four these days. We are talking about the three installments for gatherings for the two installments let the people not go (New Year’s Eve), it does not matter. It does not matter if the very old ones with subjects do not go to the family gathering at night or the next day “. The unvaccinated, he pointed out, will not go anywhere, we will not invite him to the family reunion.
Schools
He clarified for the schools that there will be a discussion these days in the committee and decisions will be made. “Schools are a controlled place, people need to see if and how many outbreaks we had in schools, that is, cases within the school. When the school closes depends on the rate of increase of cases, which may change, because now with Omicron we will probably have many more cases much faster. “The issues will be discussed,” he commented.
“Extreme measure the lockdown”
As he stressed, “it has been understood by us that a new lockdown is an extreme measure, which may not be tolerated, and may create more problems than it will solve.” “We try not to get to this point,” the professor added.
