Luis Majul: “Second wave: is everything closing again?”

Let’s get right to the point. If this continues, in a few days I could close everything, as happened on March 20 of last year. It is indicated by data and political information. I start with the information: Cristina calls Alberto every day, Request let him hold everything firm and firm. She thinks that the suburbs, where her votes are concentrated, will explode. Axel Kicillof, the governor, who does not govern, has already reserved a decree authorizing him to end the face-to-face course program and to extend the virtual curfew calendar to all municipalities. Alberto is tired. More under pressure than ever. Not just because he is still recovering from Covid positive. Not only because she – who does not appear in public during the pandemic, as she did not appear during the Once tragedy – squeezes him, badly. Also because the Russians are doing it. They want to know how he got infected. They still do not have it clear.

Now let’s talk about the data in hand. Average daily infections and deaths continue to rise: there are more than 20,000 infections per day and an average of 250 deaths, since the start of the second wave. It is true that there are more tests, around 80,000 per day in the last few days. But, it is also true that the positivity rate is increasing: between 25 and 30% on average, last week. Another key figure is the increasing occupancy of intensive care beds. Today, in a request signed by health officials from the public and private sectors of social security, it is stated that, in the AMBA, reached 69.2%, when two weeks ago it was 56.5%. Its title is disturbing: “the health system has a limit”.

Are Cristina, Kicillof and the prepaid entrepreneurs exaggerating or opening the umbrella before the water covers us all? There is something the statistics don’t show: nurses, doctors and intensivists who are in the trenches and can’t take it anymore. They are overwhelmed. And most charge a bite of bread.

Now let’s talk about vaccines. So far, 7,266,500 have arrived in Argentina. 5,313,612 were applied. Yes 4,586,426 people were vaccinated with a single dose. Only 727,186 people were inoculated with two doses. What does it mean? That he is little vaccinated. And he is poorly vaccinated. It is true that last week, the pace has accelerated. 500,000 doses have been reached. Each day he was vaccinated a little more than the previous one. It is also true that If more vaccines don’t start arriving, by the middle of next week, the province and city will run out of doses.

By the way: why don’t they vaccinate on weekends? Why do the big boys of La Cámpora continue to set up beach bars and tents and to play electoral politics with vaccines? Why do the directors of a disability center that depends on province (again hello Kicillof) chose to get vaccinated first, what is the worst sin?

We already know that variants from Brazil and Great Britain reached the province and that its rate of contagion is faster. We also know that current vaccines may not be as effective against their attack. Moreover, the equivalent of the Chinese ANMAT just said that the two vaccines from this country, Sinovac and Sinopharm, would not offer as much immunity. And that China consider combining a first dose of both with a second dose of Moderna.

In the midst of this tsunami, the Covid caranchos, like Cristina and Máximo Kirchner, They work to keep the seal of the PJ in the province and postpone the PASO and the generals, who knows, really, until when. As if that weren’t enough, the vice president orders the immoral Zannini, another vaccinated VIP, to bankrupt the shareholders of Correo, belonging to the Macri family. It’s part of the revenge operation. He wants to bankrupt them despite the fact that the creditors were already anticipating that they would accept payment of the full debt.

Finally, municipal government sources say they are unlikely to be able to purchase modern Pfizer or Johnson and Johnson vaccines. They say Cristina, on the other hand, still insults Santiago Cafiero, for urging them to buy vaccines without their permission. She still has it in her sights. Among officials who do not work.
