More than two weeks into the vaccination campaign with more than a million citizens receiving the first dose, morbidity in Israel continues to rise.

Just this morning (Tuesday) a daily record was broken since the end of September, with 8,308 diagnosed in the last day in Corona, and more than 700 seriously ill patients across the country.

The guidelines issued in the third closure are loosening, and hospitals claim congestion and call - a short and tough closure, along with vaccines, will allow for a slow return to routine.

At the Wolfson Hospital in Holon this morning, the Ministry of Health was asked to regulate corona patients due to the high occupancy in the corona wards and the heavy loads on the emergency rooms.

"When we saw the increase in the general morbidity, we expected the increase in the serious morbidity to increase as well. Within two weeks we quadrupled the serious morbidity and respiratory rate," Wolfson Hospital director Dr. Anat Engel explained in a conversation with Walla! NEWS. Because of the vaccines.

There are more than a million people who have been vaccinated and this will lead to a decrease in morbidity and we can alleviate it, but it also causes laxity and fatigue in the public.

"

Towards the second dose we can see the effect of the vaccine, but it will take at least a few weeks, "she edited." 20% of the serious patients die, we can prevent a lot of unnecessary deaths. "

Dr. Engel clarified that there is no possibility of removing restrictions and waiting for the effects of the vaccines. "There are large loads in the hospitals, and in Jerusalem and the north there is an unusual load.

At the moment, there is a need to reduce gatherings and possibly more jobs, "she said." For the education system, this is a difficult dilemma, because there is morbidity but they are less contagious.

In addition, the infections probably occur at home, and at the same time have a severe effect on children who stay at home and do not go to the educational setting.

The policy of the government, which opens the education system first and closes it last, is correct.

The question is whether we have reached the last minute, and the next few days will be decisive.

"

It is important to remember that only on the 12th day there are 60-50% dead, so care must be taken now, so as not to destroy the effect of the vaccines.

All psychic powers must be mobilized.

The vaccines brought euphoria, but we have not yet defeated the corona, "she concluded.

Large loads.

Published yesterday in Walla!

NEWS that hospital administrators across the country and the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, had a difficult conversation against the background of the increase in morbidity, which even reached jarring tones and shouts. During the conversation, which was conducted by Zum, the principals shouted that they had to face an impossible load. He will promote the intensification of enforcement in the Corona Cabinet. Another debate has developed between the hospitals that are in the centers of illness and those that are not.

Dr. Shlomi Kodesh, director of the Soroka Medical-University Center, described to Walla!

NEWS the uneasy situation in the hospital.

"We have 24 intensive care beds, 15 of which are staffed by severe corona patients, so the situation is very difficult, and that's even though the population in the south is younger. It definitely sucks, the thought of having to go into quarantine, but we do not have the luxury to wait. Patients are faster. "

"The morbidity is more severe than the second wave."

The government will convene today to discuss the tightening of the third closure, while Health Minister Yuli Edelstein recommended including the closure of the entire education system as part of the restrictions in order to reduce the level of morbidity.

According to Dr. Kodesh, the move could have been avoided. “One of the challenges is a lack of confidence in the steps being taken by the government.

If two weeks ago we had taken significant steps we might not have had to get here, "he said." If the public is unable to listen with easy steps, the morbidity graph should be stopped with more drastic steps.

I tend to agree that two weeks will not be enough, but the longer we delay it will take longer.

"" If we learned anything in the last year it is modesty, then I can say no one knows, "he replied when asked if there would be more closures." It should be the last closure, but No one can sign it.

It is important to say that there is no real closure right now, when schools are running there are a lot of outings and gatherings.

The public is confused with conflicting messages and this is not the way to reduce morbidity. "

"Giving one vaccine does not make sense"

Dr. Holy added that “a significant short-term closure should give the effect of the vaccine.

The phenomenon of yes-closure non-closure, too, comes at a high price.

Need a significant closure and not all sorts of weird formulas.

In a month we will be more patient, after the older population gets vaccinated, and I hope we will see that in our daily routine as well. "

He vehemently opposed giving one dose of the vaccine to the whole population, as was done in the UK. .

Basically want to ignore the experiment done, tested and got the approval, and do not do such experiments.

It is not responsible, "he stated." We have always explained that no shortcuts have been made in the vaccine approval, it is not possible now to skip steps.

If you want to give only one dose, you have to experiment on it properly and not vaccinate the population in this way - this is not for the masses' policy.

Beyond the fact that we are not in a catastrophe like in England, it is simply not legitimate to skip stages in a clinical trial. "

"The effect of vaccines - about a month from today"

Deputy Health Minister Yoav Kish argued that the public understands that significant restrictions need to be promoted.

"Vaccines reduce the rate of infection, but the main question is what dictates the rate first - the vaccines or the epidemic? At the moment we see that the epidemic is ahead of the vaccine rate," he warned.

"What dictates the pace - the vaccines or the epidemic?".

Kish explained that "the numbers are very large, if we were in a thousand infected then maybe the vaccine would have been faster. The price we pay is accumulating deaths and we want to avoid them. The effect of the vaccines will be felt about a month from now And not to behave like in a late-course atmosphere. "

"If there is an effective closure, that is properly enforced, from there a path of return to routine will begin," he promised.

"As long as we do not act, or make a closure as it were, we will not be able to control the plague."
