  • Measures.Illa opens the door to modify the curfew, but insists on no to confinement

  • Health: love of the autonomous communities so that Salvador Illa comes out of his apathy before the third wave of the pandemic

The coordinator of the Unit of Infectious Diseases of the University Hospital Complex of Santiago (CHUS),

Antonio Antela,

a doctor who was infected with the virus causing the pandemic against which it fought a month, asked Saturday who wins something not order again a home confinement for the population.

"I do not understand

the stubbornness of the Government in not declaring the confinement

of the entire country with more than 40,000 daily cases, the accumulated incidence soared, and hospital admissions and ICU on the rise," he writes on his official Twitter account.

With things like this,

"the economy does not start either"

and health care, if nothing prevents it, "it will collapse", predicts this expert.

"Wouldn't it be better to confine all of us so that the virus does not circulate and to speed up the speed of vaccination to the maximum with all available means,

including the army and the professionals currently unemployed

(more than 3,000 nurses)?", He continues.

And it abounds in its main message:

"Who gains something by maintaining this situation?",

A question that it throws into the air.

"I know that I am not going to be very popular, but I believe that the only efficient way to face the pandemic in Spain at the moment is total confinement from now on and make every effort, including the army, to

vaccinate the largest number of people in the smallest possible time.

Said ", he exposes.

Antonio Antela had

bilateral pneumonia

and his recovery was very slow.

He lost a lot of weight.

And next to the physical, there was the psychological.

He himself at the time, because he was infected in the first wave of the pandemic, told Efe that he had lived the disease as a traumatic experience.

"Vulnerable, a bit adrift, with the added problem of anguish from being isolated and with another, having the feeling that

you are leaving this world without saying goodbye to your family."

When he returned to his job, to the front line, he felt that he was

returning to the scene of the crime,

said by himself.

Because "somehow you want to help again, that is always; but you are also afraid of getting infected again."
