“The virus does what we allow it to do, if we behave adequately, we will be able to fight it, but we can’t just beat it. We must respect everything that is known, and it is not worse to emphasize that much more is now known about the virus. Not everything is known, but a lot is known and a lot can be done to slow down the virus, so that the spread can be controlled, “said Dr. Pelemis in his visit, adding that the most important thing for everyone is to respect the prevention measures that have been introduced. at the beginning of the pandemic.

THIS VIRUS ATTACKS EVERYONE

“Now we know how the disease behaves and manifests itself. If we adhere to prevention measures, and we have already said countless times that masks must be worn, physical distance must be kept, hands must be washed, we must understand that we cannot gather, because this time it affects the virus, we can stop it from spreading. This virus attacks everything. “

As Europe is slowly closing again, Dr. Pelemis gave his opinion on this as well.

CONTACT A DOCTOR AS SOON AS YOU FEEL SYMPTOMS

“There is no best solution. Every country is trying to do what it thinks is best. We had a closure in the beginning, it was done great, until we were introduced to the virus. Now we have relaxed, the measures are not respected, some do not admit that there is a virus. Our happiness is in the fact that we have great clinicians who know how to treat this disease, although unfortunately there is no cure, which our doctors have already learned about the virus. We are trying to deal with the manifestations of this virus, and that again depends on when the patient came. People need to call as soon as they feel the symptoms, not wait for days. “

THE ONLY HOPE IS A VACCINE

“The biggest discoveries in the history of medicine are vaccines. When I started working a long time ago, people died of smallpox, rubella … The biggest discoveries in medicine are vaccines. Vaccines are the only solution to defeat viral and bacterial infections. You can’t rely on collective immunity because it takes a large number of infected people, and you don’t know what the outcome of the disease will be. “

WE ARE LUCKY, THE FLU HAS NOT YET BEEN REGISTERED IN SERBIA

“This was a big surprise for the whole world and a great unpreparedness for the whole world. It was a bad preparation for a pandemic because this is not the first pandemic. The flu still can’t be compared to this, corona viruses are not unknown, but this strain of virus was not known.” said the doctor, adding that the flu virus has not been registered in Serbia this season.

“We seem to have been lucky that some diseases spared us or we didn’t recognize them. There is no flu yet, although there is time for it to appear, so people need to be vaccinated against the flu.”

“THE VIRUS EXISTS, WE CAN STOP IT”

“I know that the citizens have had enough of everything, especially us who are constantly talking about this, I understand that, but I cannot justify them, those who think that the virus does not exist. I do not believe that there is anyone who has not had someone in his environment We still don’t have a cure, but we know how to stop the virus, try to follow the measures as much as possible, so we stop the spread, we don’t let it spread, we reduce the infection and the number of deaths, which is the biggest tragedy that can happen, and we have to wait for the vaccine. “
