According to the weekly bulletin issued on Tuesday by the National Organization for Public Health (EODY), there are currently 132 intubated Covid-patients treated in Intensive Care Units.

Of the 136,077 confirmed coronavirus cases (weekly change -1%) reinfections were 19%.
The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Greece since the start of the pandemic rose to 4,349,423 with a total of 30,999 deaths over the same period.
The total number of admissions in the reference week was 2,793 patients (7-day rolling average 399; weekly change 10%.) Total number of discharges amounts to 2,178 patients (7-day rolling average: 311; weekly change 4%).

It is ridiculous that we find out how bad covid might might be in retrospect! We need to know it on a daily basis so that we can ourselves be cautious… it is a farce…
Is the government no longer disclosing what the percentage of vaccinated are in ICU?. Is this because the figures do not look good ?
I’d say that is it. People would be quite annoyed to find out they were coerced to take an experimental shot that did exactly nothing to improve the situation
spot on Nathalie!
I agree, not very helpful omitting, what some would say is a vital data set. I hope this is corrected shortly for everyone’s benefit.
Why aren’t we including the stats surround vaccinated Vs unvaccinated patients regarding intubations and deaths?
Greece is not alone in altering their reporting protocols to omit what I would consider to be important indicators.
Until proven otherwise, I am led to believe that the data does not support the narrative and is therefore being suppressed.
mikey 🤔🤔😎.
