COVID-19 in Poland. The third wave will bring more infection records?

The third wave of COVID-19 continues to grow in strength. Only on March 25, over 35 thousand people arrived. new cases of coronavirus. – Now we should take into account the largest number of infected people since the beginning of the epidemic, it is very likely that it will soon be more than 40 thousand. new cases daily – says the director of the Military Medical Institute, prof. Grzegorz Gielerak. In his opinion, over the next two weeks there will also be a marked increase in the daily number of deaths, and the scale of the phenomenon will significantly exceed the current knowledge and experience (according to PAP).

It is not only the number of infected and deaths that are worrying. Doctors admit that the age of COVID-19 patients who go to hospital is lower and lower. While seniors predominated in hospitals during the fall COVID-19 wave, nowadays, the severe course of SARS-CoV-2 infection is increasingly observed in young people. Oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation are needed even by 30- and 40-year-olds.

In the opinion of the president of Warsaw Family Physicians, Dr. Michał Sutkowski, this is due to, inter alia, “vaccinating the elderly, but also greater mobility of young people and more frequent disregard of recommendations by people from younger generations” – he told tvp.info a few days ago.
