Hears What Health Specialists Have To Say
Dr Tony Holohan believes that social distancing at this point couldn’t bring any subsequent changes to figures. Instead, more and more tests will be conducted.
Speaking at a press conference, Dr Holohan said: “We’re not recommending a lockdown. It would be easy to shut down every airport, workplace, every part of society to close, that might reduce the spread of the virus. But it would be a disproportionate response. We need the vast majority of people to follow most of the recommendations most of the time. We think that’s a reasonable response”.
Northern Ireland’s Health Minister Robin Swann recently made a statement. He said that the death rate in Northern Ireland could reach as high as 15,000 in a “worst-case nightmare scenario”.
He told this to the public. “If we fail as a community to take the necessary actions to slow down the transmission of the virus, it can affect up to 80% of the Northern Ireland population. If all the public health advice is ignored, in a worst-case nightmare scenario and with a fatality rate of 1%, then that could mean up to 14,000-15,000 lives lost.”
The country will hopefully be taking necessary action for it not to happen. Government and people around the world are standing together to fight coronavirus. At this stage, we are not left with any other option rather than to join hands(not literally) and take down the disease.
