THE OMICRON VARIANT

                                         

 

Unfortunately, the Omicron variant is very contagious compared with the Delta and will have international repercussions with myriads of people suffering from this disease but, according to the World Health Organisation, it is less serious.

 

Vaccinated patients’ aftereffects will be a cold and a mild cough that will not lead them to hospitals. Nevertheless, we must all be vaccinated against this terrible disease, wear masks everywhere, and keep distances so that our beloved families, friends, the world will remain healthy and as safe as possible.     

Since November, Greek citizens who have not been vaccinated are banned from entering cinemas, theatres, museums, and gyms, while they were already banned from restaurants, cafes, and bars.   

We must try to convince the deniers, that they are living in a fools' paradise and by not being vaccinated they risk the health of their loved ones and their own against this terrible plague. Moreover, it is considered a criminal act trying to convince others not to be vaccinated. Evidently, tourists entering Greece have to be vaccinated. 

Unfortunately, several infants and toddlers died in Greece of COVID 19.  Our sincere condolences to the tragic parents for their severe loss.  Must babies be vaccinated against this dreadful plague? Must schools close and for how long?
