Vasilakopoulos: Instead of closing the country, the “vaccinated” should be “closed” – Opening of schools normally

by

Instead of closing the country, the vaccinated should be “closed” more, and the schools should open normally on January 10, suggested through SKAI, the professor of Pulmonology Theodoros Vasilakopoulos.

“Instead of shutting down the rest to protect our bald fellow citizens who are not being vaccinated, those who are vaccinated should function normally in our lives, taking the infection as a simple cold, and those who are completely unprotected should limit their activity even more for “to protect themselves until they take the step of common sense, to go and be vaccinated, there is no other solution,” said the professor.

The pulmonologist was adamant that schools should be opened normally unlike his other colleagues. “Schools must open 100% on January 10, parents must vaccinate their children like I do mine, and the elderly must significantly reduce their activity,” he explained.

“Society can not be permanently dysfunctional, financially, educationally, psychologically, because a grandfather is stubborn and not vaccinated… School is socialization, and the child can not sit behind the laptop,” said Theodoros Vasilakopoulos.

At the same time, the professor estimated that we are probably going to de-escalate the virulence of the virus.

“But this should not send us the wrong message. “Now that the virus is becoming less aggressive, if we are all vaccinated we will win it, that’s the right message to go through.”

He estimated that the peak of Omicron will come at the end of January at the latest, based on the data of South Africa, which took 1 to 1.5 months. However, he also reminded that “we are entering winter, while South Africa is entering summer”.

Regarding the self-test – rapid test distinction, he clarified that “the self-test becomes rapid if we put the pen deep in our nose and do a good sampling”.

“There is no scientific reason for citizens to wait 2-3 hours in a queue … PCR should be left to those who have symptoms, and although they have symptoms, rapids are negative,” he said.

He explained that because some people need to get a disease certificate because they have not been vaccinated, they need to get tested positive by a PCR.
