Bulgaria has already declared a humanitarian crisis before the EU
Businessmen worried that the order for the complete closure of the country has already been signed
90% of patients in intensive care die
After the vote, Lockdown is preparing the caretaker government, representatives of parties and medics commented to Trud. According to doctors, two or three weeks ago more drastic measures should have been taken to stop the spread of the virus, but because of the elections, the Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov did not dare. There are currently no free beds in the intensive care unit, no spare monitors and breathing apparatus. This is the reason why the cabinet quietly turned to the EU for help, showing that our country is practically experiencing a humanitarian crisis.
The largest university hospitals in Sofia explained that as soon as a bed in the intensive care unit is vacated, it is taken up in minutes. Most often, for intensive care beds, internal transfers were made to seriously ill patients from the clinics. “In the cases when places in the intensive care units appear in the electronic system, several ambulances go to the hospital,” Pirogov explained. Doctors assured that they were accepting the first patient to arrive and did not have to decide which of the patients brought in almost simultaneously had a better chance of surviving. Doctors are adamant that 90% of those admitted to intensive care die.
There are no free intensive beds in the hospitals in Varna, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Ruse and Pleven.
“Nothing that was delivered to us will be superfluous”, they say from the Blagoevgrad resuscitation. So far, there is no rhythmic delivery of remdesevir in the hospital and the management is constantly praying and arranging 70 vials per week, which is enough for only 11 people with COVID. And the hospital treats over 100 patients.
The Shumen hospital has 194 beds, said the head of the “Medical Activity” department, Dr. Yordanka Marinova. At the same time, there are 210 coronavirus treatment sites. 7 out of a total of 8 beds are occupied in the intensive care unit.
All 20 beds are occupied in the COVID sector of the Complex Oncology Center in Shumen.
Currently, the highest load since the start of the fourth wave is registered, medics report.
Entrepreneurs, who wished to remain anonymous, are also expecting a complete closure of businesses and the whole country immediately after the elections. At least two weeks of lockdown awaits us in the first days after the vote, and the order for emergency measures has already been written as a draft, say worried owners of hotels, restaurants, shops and businesses.
It is considered that the time after the elections is appropriate in order to be able to anticipate a possible loosening of the measures for the December holidays.
Prof. Radostina Alexandrova: We return to the starting position
“We are going through a very serious crisis. Everyone should realize that we can solve it only if we approach it extremely responsibly and we should not forget that whatever help we receive in the form of materials, consumables and equipment, one of our main problems is the serious shortage of medical staff. , said to “Trud” the virologist Prof. Radostina Alexandrova on the occasion of the request of the caretaker government of the EU to provide us with additional equipment for COVID resuscitation.
Although, according to many people, the logical solution to this serious spread of the virus is lockdown, Prof. Alexandrova reminded that there is already another option. “If this was the only solution at the beginning of the pandemic and the only solution last year, when we still did not have vaccines, now 10 months after the start of their implementation on a larger scale, given that we have a choice and free access to 4 vaccines, really “It is sad that we are returning to the starting position and are again discussing the application of lockdown as the only measure that could solve our problem,” said the virologist. Prof. Alexandrova explained that with 20% vaccinated, whatever measures are applied, the only thing that awaits us is “to dive into the next drama.” “We need to realize that our only active position on the virus is to get vaccinated,” she said.
Assoc. Prof. Lyubomir Kirov, Head of the National Association of General Practitioners: Kovid Zones are a huge failure
Kovid zones are a huge failure, they do not work. They could help, but they could not carry any load, the goal was to make quick diagnostics, isolation and timely monitoring. Free medicines for covid also turned out to be a PR campaign, because there is no specific treatment for the infection. Unfortunately, the most important measures are not implemented – no masks are worn, no distance is observed, people are not vaccinated. Our country needs help due to the lack of equipment and personnel in certain places.
Forget about talking about patients who have diseases other than covid. Control of chronic diseases is extremely important.
Prof. Georgi Momekov, Chairman of the Scientific Society of Pharmacy: Brutal measures are needed for this mortality
When you come first in mortality, there must be brutal measures if human life is valued.
Either we do nothing and reach such black records, or we try as a society to hold hands and go through this thing together.
The current peak in COVID-19 mortality is due to high morbidity for weeks.
Antibody tests can be falsified much more easily than other tests. Indeed, there are many people who have contracted the disease on their feet and have antibodies.
However, protection in vaccinated people is much higher than in those who have contracted the virus.
