Carinthia in Corona crisis mode: Intensive care physicians raise the alarm!

Corona pandemic remains a burning topic, and the tensions between vaccinated and unvaccinated are increasing. During a lecture in Wolfsberg, organized by Team Santé Barbara Pharmacy, Primar Rudolf Likar, head of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Klagenfurt Clinic, represented the dramatic situation on the Carinthian intensive care units. Likar emphasized that the current incidence values ​​in Austria with 600 in a strong contrast to the approximately 80 percent of the fully vaccinated population in countries like Spain And Portugal are where the incidence is 32 or almost 70. These figures illustrate the urgency to increase the vaccination rate in order to escape the pandemic, as he noted, reports Unterkaerntner.at .

The primary determines an alarming situation on the intensive care units: 80 percent of the covid patients make up for unpainted, and the death rate is 30 percent. "Every third patient does not leave the intensive care unit," warned Likar, demanding a rethink in society. Mental and social health should not be neglected either, and he considers a vaccination to be problematic. "Everyone has their own responsibility for their immune system," continued Likar. A general lockdown is not a solution for him, since it would only promote the aggressiveness of the people, which creates an unstable situation, as well as kaernten.orf reports.

The future after pandemic

Rudolf Lakar also analyzed important teachings from pandemic: access to health must be improved in society, people should no longer be isolated. Instead, solidarity is required to build a good immune system. "Unfortunately, we are a society of narcissists and not solidarity," said Likar. The doctor appeals to everyone to be vaccinated in particular in risk groups in order not to continue to burden health care. "The situation on the intensive care units is critical and we all have to work on reducing the incidence," concluded Likar. He also expressed that a third vaccination could be necessary and maybe even a fourth.
