Èske 200 enfeksyon pa jou yon rezon pou enkyetid? Fiałek: twò ta enkyete nou, nou te gen anpil tan

On Friday, the Ministry of Health informed about 258 coronavirus infections in Poland. This is the most for several weeks. The fourth wave of COVID-19 is starting to accelerate. Is this a cause for concern? – We cannot be afraid of the coming epidemic wave, we had time to get used to this fear – says doctor Bartosz Fiałek.

1. The number of new COVID-19 cases has been increasing in Poland for some time. For now, however, quite slowly
2. Another pandemic wave has begun, which has already swept through several countries and which has been announced by our specialists for a long time
3. – So we should be prepared for this – says doctor Bartosz Fiałek
4. – We had so much time that being surprised by the current situation would be a scandal – adds the expert

Adrian Dąbek, Medonet: Today most infections since mid-June. The daily number above 200 is slowly becoming the norm. Is this the moment when we should start to be afraid?

Bartosz Fiałek: We had a lot of time to prepare. For a really long time, the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths from COVID-19 has been very low. This relative peace of mind is slowly coming to an end and the numbers are rising. I don’t think there is anything to worry about now, it’s just too late to worry because we had so much time that it would be a scandal to be surprised at the current situation. For several months it has been widely known that at the turn of August and September or September and October this year unfortunately, we will face an increased number of COVID-19 cases.

I believe the only thing that needs to be done now is to build on the experience of other countries, those that have already faced or are still facing the next COVID-19 epidemic wave related to the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus. And we should also use the benefits of science, follow the rules that allow us to reduce the negative effects of COVID-19.

First of all, we should vaccinate ourselves massively, and significantly accelerate this process. We must do everything possible to vaccinate the largest possible percentage of the population. We can see that the scooters are not helping, lotteries are not working. Perhaps more informational and educational spots are needed to dispel understandable doubts of some Polish women and men. I am a good example in this matter because I have convinced a lot of people. Many people ask for dispelling their doubts related to vaccination against COVID-19, and I educate them, i.e. answer their questions. Educational campaign, even with a door-to-door element, targeted at people who do not have access to social media or do not use it. Some people do not understand new technologies, others consider them redundant, and others do not have access to them, so they have to be hit by a different path.

We have a growing body of scientific evidence that vaccines against COVID-19 are effective against the Delta variant of the novel coronavirus, particularly effective in terms of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 caused by the Delta variant.

Secondly, we should continue to adhere to sanitary and epidemiological principles that reduce the risk of SARS-2 coronavirus transmission. That is, wear protective masks in closed rooms, in close contact with people, regardless of our vaccination status against COVID-19, which also applies to fully or partially vaccinated people. We must not forget about hand hygiene or maintaining social distance.

We should also remember that in the event of contact with an infected person, we should be quarantined, and when we are sick, we must isolate ourselves. We should track contacts, possible outbreaks and places that may become other sources of infection.

So we cannot be afraid of the coming epidemic wave because we had time to get used to this fear. We do not panic, after all, we have the knowledge resulting from the three previous epidemic waves. We are not afraid because we have methods, vaccinations and non-pharmaceutical interventions to reduce the size of the coming epidemic wave.

So nothing new can be invented. We have knowledge collected for several months.

And you don’t have to invent anything new. We must be responsible first and foremost. Scientists and science have given us a lot. Vaccinations and non-pharmaceutical methods of limiting the spread of the pathogen. Everything in our hands. First of all, vaccinations against COVID-19. Until we vaccinate a sufficient, very high percentage of people against COVID-19, it will continue to be important to respect sanitary and epidemiological rules. In addition, contact and uncertainty testing, post-contact quarantine, and isolation in case of disease. Additionally, tracking these contacts.

Children are returning to school soon, adults from vacation. Even though we were aware of this, we neglected our vaccinations. It is too late, we will not have enough time to achieve adequate herd immunity against this wave.

But you have to educate and persuade all the time. We can see that supplemental doses in the world are becoming commonplace, nowadays they are supplementary doses for immunocompetent or elderly people. But in some countries, for everyone, as is the case in the United States, anyone 8 months after completing the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination course will be able to get vaccinated from September 20 this year. the so-called booster, i.e. a booster dose. Vaccinations against COVID-19 will not stop at two doses, more will be needed, so we should educate all the time. Because those who get vaccinated will need another dose, probably also in the case of the J&J vaccine, although here the so-called the second dose will be a booster.

We should teach to convince those who have not been vaccinated, and those who have been vaccinated, should be aware that maybe soon there will be a recommendation to administer a third dose of mRNA vaccine, probably first in selected groups of people, and then – perhaps – in all. We already know that vaccine immunity weakens over time. Hence, vaccination against COVID-19 will most likely stay with us for some time. I imagine we will also be vaccinating against COVID-19 next year.

As the fourth coronavirus wave began in the UK Britain, the percentage of fully vaccinated people there was exactly the same as in our country – 48 percent. Based on this, can we forecast something about the number of cases? There were even over 30 in Great Britain.

We need to separate the ‘breakthrough’ infections that occur in fully vaccinated people from those that occur in the unvaccinated. In fact, there were many cases, and it may be the same for us, but we will record much fewer cases requiring hospitalization and those which will be fatal.

We have low immunization rates, and there is also an inefficient healthcare system that was no longer demanding before the pandemic. So with us, even single cases of COVID-19 that will require intensive treatment can lead to health paralysis. Therefore, we should follow all known rules that reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, otherwise we will have a serious problem. It will be a problem both for health protection and for people who will have – again – very limited access to medical personnel.

A recent study published by the CDC clearly shows that unvaccinated people get COVID-19 five times more often than fully vaccinated ones. On the other hand, the risk of hospitalization due to COVID-19 is 29 times higher among unvaccinated than in fully vaccinated ones. These studies clearly illustrate what group of people with COVID-19 end up in hospitals and die.

Well, one would like to believe that this type of data will appeal to the imaginations of the undecided and skeptics.

These extreme opponents will not be persuaded, while the doubters may be persuaded to vaccinate. A lot of people wrote to me who did not want to get vaccinated, but after reading my entries and my answer to their question, they decided to get vaccinated. Let us remember that people are convinced by various arguments. For everyone, what else is important. One will convince that there are 29 times less hospitalizations in the group of fully vaccinated compared to unvaccinated, others that vaccination does not affect fertility, and for others the most important is that the risk of anaphylactic shock is marginal.

Doubts arise from many different aspects, so each one should be approached individually and try to dispel his doubts. My doubts on a given matter are not the same as those of another person. So I emphasize – education, education and education again. It should be implemented all the time, universally. Similar people have expressed their opinion in the media, but apart from us, the government should launch a nationwide educational campaign and spend an adequate amount of money on it. You have to reach a lot of people, dispel their doubts and make them vaccinated. We, although we try our best, do not reach such a wide audience that the state apparatus can reach
