The spokesperson for the UAE health sector, Dr. Farida Al Hosani, confirmed that most of the affected groups ranged between 20 and 44 years, while doctors and psychologists attributed the presence of the largest number of people infected with the Corona virus emerging from the youth segment to four reasons, including recklessness and failure to comply with health warnings, And the "falsehood" confidence in overcoming the virus and forming young people for the largest segment of society, in addition to this age group representing a large percentage of workers in the private sector.
In detail, the professor at the Canadian University of Western Ontario, a consultant pediatric, infectious and immunological diseases at the Heart Medical Center in Al Ain City, Dr. Hussam Al-Tatry said: “This topic has more than one explanation, the first of which is that this age group is the highest number in the Emirates, and most of them are residents In the country mainly as workers, in addition to the presence of not only a small number inside the country from this category of merchants and tourists, and therefore it is expected to be the most affected, given that it is the largest segment of society ».
He added: «Also, this age group has a lot of recklessness who underestimate the instructions, and rebel against the following precautionary measures and adherence to them, and this has been observed in some learners who believe that the topic of the new Corona virus has been inflated medialy, and they showed their disdain for mandatory stone decisions, and calls to stay At home », warning of the danger of having not a few in society still underestimating things, and believes that there is an exaggeration in warning about the seriousness of the virus, and these people do not stop for a moment to think about the reasons for taking more than 84 countries around the world decisions to curfew in one way or another.
“To clarify the risk of underestimating the Corona virus, we must know that every case of the influenza virus, it is possible to transmit the infection to one and a half persons. These people, in turn, transmit the infection to others, but the maximum number in two weeks is 15 people. But what happens in the newly created Corona virus is just the opposite. This virus is rapidly spreading, and the rate of re-infection with it ranges between 2.5 and 4.5 people, and by calculating the spread at the lowest rate (2.5) within two weeks of the redeployment cycles, the number of People infected with 24,000 people. ” He added: “The government is making an extraordinary effort costing time and money and disrupting the life systems, in order to preserve the lives of people, medical personnel, and other related bodies and authorities, doing everything in its power to ensure the security and safety of society, so do not put us in a situation where the disease is so prevalent that we as doctors are not able to Completing our work because of the large number of cases, as is currently happening in some countries of the world, because of recklessness and not taking things seriously from the beginning ».
Tatar stressed that it is necessary for every person in society to feel personal responsibility, because only one reckless person can transfer this disease to a whole neighborhood, without feeling any symptoms, and of course the closest people to him will be the first infected.
While the infectious disease consultant at Al Rahba Hospital, Jihad Saleh, attributed the age bracket of 20 to 44 years for patients with the emerging coronavirus, that young people are the most individuals who deal with matters simply and indifferently to the risks, and always move in groups, and deal with the matter Seriously, noting that the talk that most serious infections occur in the elderly, chronic disease and weak immunization category gives them a false belief that even if they are infected with the Coronavirus, it will be a slight infection and they will overcome it, but they do not know that if they are infected, how much can Y Gulwa infection to other people, including the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
While the psychological specialist, Ahmed Al-Sayed, confirmed that the youth segment of people infected with Corona virus is issued in the state, due to two reasons. The first is that there is a segment of young people whose lifestyle is free of responsibility and seriousness, and does not commit itself to any restrictions, and it deals lightly with the precautionary measures against the Corona virus, and exercises hobbies Going out with friends without taking any considerations into precautionary measures, and not accepting an idea that restricts their movement, even if that is to protect them from infection with a dangerous virus, no treatment has been discovered yet.
He pointed out that the second reason is due to the fact that the societal segment, which lies between the ages of 20 and 44 years, constitutes a large percentage of workers in the private sector, and it is the sector that is the least applicable to the remote work system, which exposes a number of workers to deal with many people, and with the lack of implementation of procedures Prevention precisely exposed to infection.
Young people choose life or death
The Director of the World Health Organization, Adhanum Gebresus, warned that young people do not obey health warnings, noting that the elderly are the ones most at risk due to injury, but that young people cannot be excluded from that, and that the choices that young people make are a matter of life or death for other people He added, in an online press conference from Geneva: “I have a message for young people: this virus may subject you to hospital treatment for weeks, and it may kill you. Even if you do not get sick, the choices you make, regarding where you go, are a matter of life or death for To another person. ”
Psychologist: Young people who do not accept the idea of restricting their movement, even if it is to protect them from infection.
