Tolaj: In Kosovo, there are 200 thousand people who have passed the Coronavirus

Infectologist Ilir Tolaj has said that in Kosovo there may be about 200 thousand people who have been infected with Covid-19. “150 patients where they are 50 in oxygen therapy and four or five ventilated is not a big problem for a country. Even 2000 patients are no problem. We need to know that [...]
“150 patients where they are 50 in oxygen therapy and four or five ventilated is not a big problem for a country. Even 2000 patients are no problem. We need to know that in Kosovo, there are probably 200 thousand people who have passed it on to Covid-19”.
The one at the Info Magazine of Kosovo has said that there are many asmatomatic patients who have passed the choreography, as well as those who have spent it with one or two days of fever, and therefore, according to him, that figure is very different from the official figure of infected persons in Kosovo.
We need to understand that the problem is much broader than it's trying to tell, because we're not talking about 2000-3000 cases with Ovid-19, nor are we talking about 100 or 1,000 active cases”.
I said a month ago that there are 100,000 cases in Kosovo, until at the rate of now we have 200 thousand cases under a simple estimate where in any case identified there are at least 40 unidentified. The measures should also be consistent with this. We have to prepare people with the fact that the virus exists and is a killer. The most endangered should be protected more, economic activities should not only see their profit but also protect the population by respecting these provisions. The responsible health institutions must be much more proactive”.
Tolaj has clarified that Kosovo is not passing the second wave of infections with Covid-19.
This is not the second wave, this is the continuation of the first wave. The difference between the first wave and the second wave should have a time distance where there will be no case and we haven't had such cases”.
On the other hand, we need to know a fact that any measures they take will only put off the problem and not solve it, because the pandemic will not automatically be removed. It requires a period of time in which 70 or 80 percent of the population will be infected and will develop immunity and then stop such intense infection transmission or a vaccine will be discovered that the general population will be vaccinated and we will have an artificially created defence”.
This could take at least two years, and that's why my remarks have been to the IKSHPK and the state authorities that haven't informed the opinion in a while that we're talking about a long-term problem it's not a matter of two or three weeks, not a month. Each sector of economic activity, with long - term contractions and expansions, had to be prepared first.
