Failure to test is a bug
Many experts emphasize that the scale of infections in Poland is underestimated, because testing for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 is too rare.
– In Poland, monitoring of coronavirus infections is only conventional. Testing has actually disappeared, we have rather “on demand” testing when someone suspects an infection, or self-testing – said Dr. Aneta Afelt from the COVID-19 Team at the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences in an interview with Medonet.
— The cessation of common tests is a mistake, because in order to prevent something, you need to have knowledge, and therefore monitor and draw quick conclusions from the fact that, for example, the number of infections is increasing. If several thousand tests are performed a day instead of tens of thousands, we get a piece of information, and the virus is circulating without our knowledge – a similar opinion was expressed in an interview with Polityka »Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski, expert of the Supreme Medical Council for combating COVID-19.
Prof. Pyrć: shafts are built earlier
Prof. Krzysztof Pyrć is one of the best specialists in the field of microbiology and virology in Poland. He was a member of the Prime Minister’s Medical Council for COVID-2020 established in 19. In January this year – like most scientists – he gave up advising the prime minister because of «mismatch between scientific and medical rationale and practice«.
He is active on Twitter, pointing out what the government should do to fight the pandemic as effectively as possible. However, it does not present ready-made solutions, but regularly emphasizes that all activities should be carried out well in advance.
“Some try to impose the narrative that scientists wanted to shut down the world and ignored society and the economy. It’s not true. Scientists recommended precautionary measures to avoid illness and death, but also school closures or lockdowns, »he wrote recently.
He also made a pictorial comparison of the current (and earlier) epidemic situation, emphasizing once again that the government reacts too late to the threat.
«If we react to a flood when the water reaches two floors, then at most I can recommend evacuation. The embankments are built earlier »- he noted.
