Every day the numbers of new infections and the number of deaths in the country are alarming. On the date it was again known of more than 100 deaths and 2,700 infections. Faced with this situation, the pulmonologist Carlos Morínigo said: “We have to see what to do because this is totally overwhelmed. We do not give more, we have to stop 10 to 15 days and whoever gets angry gets angry. That the Government distribute money to those affected, food if needed. The rate of contagion is desperate and people do not come into consciousness. “

The increase in cases and deaths are exponential. To this is added that our country does not have the necessary doses to comply with and carry out the national vaccination plan, without forgetting the irregularities committed, which results in us being the country with the highest number of deaths and the lowest percentage in numbers of vaccinated people.
“There are no longer doses in vaccinations and the number of cases is alarming, what to do to reduce the contagion?” Was today’s query on the LN platform. 63% voted in favor of “Continue taking care of ourselves, there is no other choice”, 29% indicated “Demanding more vaccines is the only solution” and 9% believe that “Everything except going backward”.
Dr. José Fusillo, head of the Paraguayan Society of Pneumology and doctor of the National Institute of Respiratory and Environmental Diseases (Ineram), revealed that white personnel no longer expect further restrictive measures from the Government in the face of the catastrophic situation.
During this afternoon, a batch of 250,000 Sinopharm vaccines arrived in our country. According to what was mentioned by Minister Julio Borba, the vaccination scheme will continue to focus on adults over 65 years of age and older because 30% of the adults registered on the platform have not yet been immunized.
