The Unbearable Mitigation of
SARS-CoV-2 Endemicity.
Dr. Georgios Pappas, a physician from Greece, specializing in
zoonotic infections and epidemic preparedness and known for his detailed
report on the largest laboratory accident in Southeast Asia which
release Brucella discussed the Endemicity of COVID-19. He discusses the
Greek experience in combating COVID-19 and the political forces in his
country which both helped and hindered the public health effort. These
forces include: The Church, The Russian Factor, Scientific Dissidents,
Political Dissidents, the Need for Tourists and The Pandemic as a
Political issue. There are 14 fallacies (mis and disinformation) which
segments of the public hold regarding the virus. These include:
1. The virus is gone.
2. SARS-CoV-2 is just another Influenza.
3. The Epidemic is Mild.
4. SARS-CoV-2 needs to adapt.
5. Omicron is milder.
6. We can predict the viral moves.
7. Eventually, we will achieve herd immunity.
8. We can rely on treatments.
9. Immunocompromised should shelter.
10. Minimal risk for the "young & healthy".
11. Healthcare can handle it.
12. The truth will (automatically) prevail.
13. It's not our job.
14. We won.
