“Hospitals can survive a little longer in this pandemic – the Bulgarian doctor has experienced all the mistakes of the government and let me tell you, our doctors work in very bad conditions – with reduced salaries, with reduced hospital money, but does this trend continue 1, 3 reproductive numbers – 1000 infect 1300, the system is overloaded. We have another week that we can endure this way. ” This was said on BTV by Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, a consultant of the Sofia Municipality on vaccination.
“There has been no such incidence of this virus for 20 months and unfortunately, many people have lost their lives. We have crossed this line and the people will pay a high price. Now what can happen – the most important thing is for the government to make sure that There are control measures, they need to be respected and controls need to be put in place, because we are already hearing from some doctors that the price has gone up a lot, which is terrible, and I don’t think that was the aim of the Ministry of Health, but there must be control over masks, distances and certificates, “Kantardzhiev added.
According to him, there will be no lockdown at this stage, but rather a partial lockdown. “Usually it has to be introduced at this stage of the epidemic so that its effect can be seen in two weeks. So that people understand – not in vain they told us what hours to go to the shops and the adults to be separate – from so much “Unfortunately, I do not see the government giving such advice on crisis management at the moment,” he said.
He also explained that currently the priorities for the Delta virus have changed – “Now the most important thing is the prevention of the respiratory system – masks are very important, their quality is also very important, everything that protects the respiratory system, ventilation, open windows in public transport, these are the most powerful weapons at the moment, and of course, to some extent, distance, but also disinfection, is important.
The topic of dividing the society into vaccinated and unvaccinated, I don’t know for what purposes they did it, but divide the society and the people will pay for it, “Kantardzhiev added.
He advised pregnant women not to be vaccinated for the first three months. “However, I advise women who are planning a pregnancy to get better vaccinated in order to make the pregnancy and the baby painless to have antibodies against the coronavirus. Those who are breastfeeding can be vaccinated, and the mother 15 days after the vaccination, already will release antibodies that will protect the baby’s respiratory system.
It is obligatory to vaccinate people with diabetes, heart disease, and chronic lung diseases as well. “People who are currently on chemotherapy, radiation therapy, as well as people who are currently taking drugs to reduce immunity, should not be vaccinated,” he said.
“Two days ago the data of the National Center for Infectious Diseases came out and the Delta variant turns out to have 38 more sub-variants. And in fact, 7-8 are found in our country. Most are found in Sofia, followed by Burgas and Plovdiv. “The sub-variants do not differ biologically as a way of doing things, but they are an epidemic marker that should keep us alert,” the professor explained.
