Dark days are coming...


They say, that who has not vaccinated himself is responsible for the death of at least one person! Who is the most sensible person? The one who finds what is to their own advantage in all that happens to them. When trying to write this end-of-the-year post, I realised my words were not enough to describethe  pandemic or its impact. How many more will die? Nobody knows! How many more deaths we will see in the next months? Dark days coming, we are heading into a difficult time, we could have avoided many of these deaths, if everyone vacci-nates themselves. It is likely that a mandate on wearing face masks in public would have helped to reduce the rates of coronavirus transmission. The vírus has killed more than 35835 people. Researchers warn that official figures underestimate the pandemic’s real death toll, which could more than twice if the virus is allowed to spread unchecked. In a worst-case scenario,  that the number of deaths could exceed 40000 people by January. The sensible are afraid, and fools will not. What makes the ignorant feel so smart, I don’t understand. I em support for mandatory vaccinations. It is a drastic measure. We would have preferred to go another way. But if one year in having the vaccine, of having national campaigns, of having media explaining again and again what this is about, that we have such a high degree of insecurity, of people believing in fake news.

Our current model of economic growth has led to increasing deforestation and loss of biodiversity, accelerated urbanization, intensive animal farming, global travel - all factors known to increase the risk of zoonotic viruses jumping to human hosts and spreading with alarming ease. Scientists and public health experts around the world have been warning us for many years that a pandemic caused by an unknown virus was not a matter of “if” but of “when”, and that we needed to prepare. It turned out that this “new” coronavirus is highly transmissible (even by people who present no or few symptoms) and can remain airborne longer than thought. Without any doubt, the countries that best succeeded in curbing the spread of the virus (and even eliminating it from their territory) were not necessarily those with more resources, but rather those who did not hesitate to implement aggressive measures to contain the virus (testing, contact tracing, isolating) or eventually control its spread (restricting mobility or closing businesses) as early as possible. The speed at which the virus spread took most of Europe by surprise. The first total lockdowns were like jumping from a sinking boat to the life raft. That was the “easy part”. Reaching land safely was trickier. Much time and energy were spent on discussing the best exit strategies. At the end, Europe’s second wave shows that it may be necessary to aim for more than simply keeping the virus in check.
