The measure is pending the endorsement of the TSJA while the virus soars in the city, with 966 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
I can tube whoever comes but I cant make less come We are very close to the collapse of the healthcare system because there comes a time when you lose control and the next step to uncontrolled transmission is collapse.
The times of politics are always slower than those of reality but we are three months late and this is getting out of hand
The content cry of an intensivist doctor from Granada who demands anonymity denounces the slowness of the Andalusian Board PP and Citizens to adopt measures in a city with the expansion of the coronavirus triggered 966 cases per 100000 inhabitants when the threshold set by the Government to take action is at 500
Weeks after exceeding that limit of 500 the Andalusian Executive has decreed a curfew as of this Sunday for Granada and 30 municipalities in its metropolitan area between 2300 and 6 in the morning a decision that is pending the endorsement of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia TSJA
But while political decisions take effect the operating rooms of this city have already suppressed 25 of nonurgent operations due to the hospital pressure of the covid which threatens to be unbearable in the face of the unstoppable contagion curve
Granada is a focus with all the alerts in red but for the moment the Board has not proposed the confinement of its neighbors while Burgos for example is confined with an accumulated rate of 551 cases a little more than half
Two weeks ago the figures were already very high and the Board supported by the City Council decided not to intervene in Granada and adopted the very wrong order to close the university campus and not the bars later qualified by limiting their hours Joan censors Carles March professor and former director of the Andalusian School of Public Health
500 cases per 100000 inhabitants is already outrageous there are many and the decisions had to come much earlier
Other countries and cities have taken measures long before and Granada has put the economy as the only element and it always loses its health
This vision that Andalusia was doing well has generated dynamics that have not been good in society businessmen and the Board There is a lack of global vision censures the public health expert
This Thursday the spokesman of the Board Elías Bendodo has once again emphasized that the Andalusian Government anticipates the virus with its decisions
There are still more difficult times and we are concerned about the escalation of hospital admissions he admitted with 1675 covid patients in Andalusian hospitals 201 of them in ICUs
In parallel the Board sets the closing hours of bars at 10pm in Seville Córdoba and Jaén in addition to Granada a restriction that affects more than two million people forced to keep the mask on while they are in bars and restaurants
They can only be removed at the time of eating or drinking and meetings are limited to six people in these establishments These two million people will not be able to get rid of the mask when they play sports and there are other people around
Parks gardens and playgrounds will be closed for the next two weeks The capacity of weddings is limited to 30 people and wakes to 15
This Thursday Andalusia received the blow of another 2954 new infected and 44 deaths with a very high cumulative incidence in these cities if Jaén rises to 482 cases per 100000 inhabitants Córdoba maintains 441 and Seville 370
Andalusia is the community that Fewer PCR tests are carried out throughout the country 1010 per 100000 inhabitants less than a third of Navarra with 3698 tests according to data from the Ministry of Health
According to data from the Board there are 953 Andalusian trackers dedicated exclusively to tracking far from the figure of 2000 recommended by experts one for every 4000 inhabitants
There is a lack of resources and we are overwhelmed by the needs confirms Begoña López president of the Andalusian Society of Epidemiology Saepi The rest until reaching the figure of 9
We are worse than in spring and there are many people who do not call despite the fact that we do between 60 and 80 patients many in person There have been delays of up to eight days in responding to the PCR tests says María José González a doctor at the Fuensanta Pérez Quirós health center in Seville
The Andalusian president Juan Manuel Moreno admitted this Wednesday that primary care is overwhelmed In recent months the Andalusian vice president Juan Marín Citizens has promoted Andalusia as a tourist destination and has repeated that tourism does not multiply the spread of the virus
This Thursday the Minister of Health Jesús Aguirre said the opposite The greater the mobility the greater the contagiousness that issue is very clear to us
Despite a cumulative incidence of less than 301 cases per 100000 inhabitants the latent danger in Andalusia with a daily average of hospital admissions of around 175 cases lies in the collapse of ICUs to care for critically ill patients
You have to inform people of the real situation The professionals are crushed they cant take it anymore with leg cramps and now they have to play an extension exemplifies the intensivist doctor from Granada who demands to preserve his identity
The Board confirmed this Thursday that apart from the danger in ICUs the collapse in primary care will not translate into more hired personnel
That is the staff of doctors and nurses will continue to be decimated until the longawaited arrival of the vaccine next year as admitted by Aguirre who has alleged that there are no doctors in the recruitment markets
