The incredible scenes from the lockdown in Shanghai have left the rest of the planet speechless, wondering what might be hiding behind it all.
They have been heard and spread conspiracy theories for new coronavirus mutationor even the appearance of a new virus.
The Professor of Pulmonology of the University of Thessaly, Mr. Konstantinos Gourgoulianis explains in onlarissa.gr what exactly is happening in China and clarifies the landscape by giving them three reasons according to his estimates, for all this wild scenery taking place in China lately with hard lockdown.
“I do not imagine conspiracy theories. I will give you some reasons that in my estimation all this is happening in Shanghai “, Mr. Gourgoulianis emphasizes and explains:
First the Chinese started with the logic of covid zero, that is, to have no case of coronavirus. China has not had infections for too long. So they came up with a recipe that they had and can not do back. That is, suddenly with “Omicron” they have many cases but without admissions and hospitalizations, as “Omicron” is a highly contagious virus. So they have their script and it is difficult to get out of it. However, this is also the general mentality of the Chinese. So their policy failed and it made sense to fail with a highly contagious mutation.
Secondly have a vaccinethe Chinese, with which everyone has been vaccinated, but we do not know how active it is.
Thirdly have a lot of people in old age, from 80 years and over, unvaccinated. And because China has a large population, with densely populated areas, they are likely to worry that many older people will get sick and block their hospitals.
«I think the first reason they have the logic of covid zero is the most important thing that all this is happening in Shanghai. We see here in Greece that Omicron is extremely contagious and easily sticks to each other, so their policy of no infections at all failed. And because they are a people stuck in general and it is difficult to break free from the tactics they adopt, that is where the problem has been identified, while here in Europe and in America we have decided that we will live the coronavirus. So, of course, I do not adopt any of all this for new mutations and new viruses “, points out Mr. Gourgoulianis.
