Sarigiannis: We are at the beginning of the 4th wave – In August we expect 1,000 cases per day
The professor of Environmental Engineering of AUTh, Demosthenes Sarigiannis speaking to Ant1, has rung an alarm bell. The professor underlined that we are in a phase of increasing coronavirus cases and stressed that we are at the beginning of the 4th wave of the pandemic. Mr. Sarigiannis said that movements will play a decisive role in the spread of the virus and especially of the Delta mutation and in August we are expected to exceed again 1,000 cases per day, a number that will increase even more in September.
Mr. Sarigiannis said that all the measures taken are ancillary and the only thing that can effectively protect us is vaccination. As I said characteristically, in order to get rid of the worst and according to the prognostic models it uses, the percentage of those vaccinated in the adult population should reach 83% in August. Mr. Sarigiannis stressed that any risk involved in a vaccination is infinitesimally smaller than someone’s decision not to be vaccinated.
Alkiviadis Vatopoulos, professor of Microbiology at the University of West Attica, spoke to SKAI about the coronavirus mutations, but also about the new measures announced by the government for the unvaccinated.
Commenting on the mutation from Colombia, which was located yesterday in Patras, he noted that the mutations are an endless process, but this does not mean that the end of the pandemic is being removed. “The virus can be weakened. The prevailing clones are usually more contagious and less pathogenic. The realistic scenario is that it will stay like the flu “, emphasizing that people should be vaccinated so as not to leave room for mutations to develop.
