Claudio Belocopitt, president of the Argentine Health Union and head of Swiss Medical, was concerned this Monday about the increase in coronavirus infections and the occupation of intensive care beds, to the point that he warned that "
the private system cannot stand more than four or five days
"with this case curve.
"With the curve like this, the private system does not last more than four or five days," he assured in a dialogue with radio
Con Vos
, after which he explained that the occupation of beds has already reached 90%, an unprecedented number for a long weekend .
To make a parallel, the businessman pointed out that the occupation of beds "never exceeded 50%" at Easter.
"I'm getting tired of saying 'beware that the system is at the limit'. The private system has nothing left over and we run a little more and go off track," he later emphasized in statements to
FM Futurock
.
Belocopitt spoke of a "difficult moment" and asked the Government to take measures to avoid collapse: "Clearly, measures must be taken to lower circulation. We are with very high circulation levels, with a much steeper curve than last year. The health system did not saturate last year because the measures were harsh. "
In any case, he made it clear that "the economic situation is recontra complex."
The businessman remarked that the health system could reach its limit, as he recalled that it happened "in the United States, France, Italy and Spain."
And he remarked: "We want to try to avoid it. Now there is a point where we are not magicians."
