New Democracy MP Konstantinos Kyranakis refuted the scenarios for a new lockdown throughout the country, due to the increase in cases in recent days, in his statements on his TV show “Unmatched” SKAI.
As he stressed, the new measures do not change the situation to a great extent. “I think we need to put the debate on the right footing. We forget to emphasize that compared to last year the positivity is low. Last year on such a day we had 2100 cases and 25,000 tests. Positiveness index around 9%. Today we have 6400 cases and 420,000 tests. Positiveness index 1.67. The vaccine obviously works. The number of cases will increase. They are all open. From the moment that both the vaccinated and the not seriously ill get sick, the number will increase. 1 in 10 vaccinated is in the ICU. Even fewer lose their lives. We are talking about a 50% of the vaccinated people who see from their circle that the majority has not received any of the vaccines “, pointed out Konstantinos Kyranakis.
“There will be no more lockdowns. I have suggested that those who are not vaccinated get tested for antibodies and those who have a high percentage of antibodies get into the immune wall. I have submitted it to both the president of EODY and the Minister of Health and they see it positively. In our generation and in the younger ones, the measure has worked so that the unvaccinated do not enter the closed spaces. Many were convinced and got the vaccine. We must take back our lives “, said the New Democracy MP, ruling out any possibility of new strict restrictions.
“The measures in the churches are observed …”
Konstantinos Kyranakis, responding to what SYRIZA MP Giannis Ragousis said that no new measures were announced in the churches and that this was done for voting reasons by New Democracy, pointed out that: . Many who go to church have put up with the government. I disagree that there is favor in people who go to church. We have not allowed many processions while I also saw measures on the 15th of August. Because I go to church several times in the Southern district where I am elected I see that the measures are observed. In all churches there is strict observance of distances. Everyone wears masks. There are empty seats I do not know if there is evidence that the coronavirus is transmitted to the church to a large extent and if Mr. Ragousis has such evidence. In addition, there is protection because the necessary tests are performed. There is an obligation for a rapid test on the priests and the chanters “. “Let us respect the people who want to exercise their religious right. We must fight for the vaccine together with the opposition. People listen to their circle and not the government. This will convince the citizens. “In old age, the percentage of vaccination is high,” the New Democracy MP continued.
“The government produces stability – SYRIZA is not convincing”
Commenting on the results of the poll that saw the light of day yesterday by SKAI and gave a big lead with 12 points in New Democracy, Konstantinos Kyranakis said: “The government is producing stability. Obviously in the simple proportional elections, the percentage of the first party counts. The vote of confidence that New Democracy must claim is the major one. We must convince the people that we have kept our commitments. “SYRIZA – unfortunately for him – is not convincing”.
