Tzanakis to SKAI: I estimate 1,000 to 3,000 dead in Shanghai, not three dead

by

For 1,000 to 3,000 dead in Shanghai based on the 300,000 cases of coronavirus, and in fact with the statistics of Greece, not with the statistics that they will have in the vast country due to the poor vaccination status, spoke to SKAI the Nikos Tzanakis.

“It is not possible to have 300,000 cases in a population where those over 65 are 30 and 40% unvaccinated, and even with a vaccine weak in Omicron 2, much weaker than ours, and have three dead,” said the professor of Pulmonology at the Medical School of the University of Crete.

He warned that the Chinese doctrine of “zero tolerance” worked as far as the Delta mutation. “I am very scared that it is completely powerless about Omicron and Omicron 2 … We are talking about a very penetrating contagion, which can be temporarily suppressed, but very quickly erupts. “May they succeed even with these measures, which are inapplicable to Western societies.”

“China has become accustomed to opacity,” he said. Anyone who has visited China and seen the way they work and organize their lives understands how they solve their problems. “We are talking about a country without working hours, a country where there are no working days, where the social, economic and cultural life is within certain limits and we are talking about an area that is a little smaller. from Crete with 26 million inhabitants. “You understand that this patchwork of social housing and other parameters presupposes a very advanced public health system to deal with such an outbreak,” he stressed.

The Chinese city had earlier reported seven more deaths due to COVID-19 in 24 hours, bringing the total to ten victims of the current pandemic of the new coronavirus in the Chinese financial capital to ten. The municipality announced three deaths yesterday Monday, a report surprisingly light in the city where daily confirmed somewhere 20,000 new cases infection by SARS-CoV-2.
