Analysts from the Data Without Pathos project pointed out that if we have a high number of coronavirus patients in hospitals, “Thus, other medicine is partially or completely stopped, the state is concentrating on covid patients, and the other 742 diseases have gotten or are getting on the second (or thirteenth) track.” The problem is also that many patients have nothing but difficult conditions, but that many other people have something but cannot get to the hospital.
According to them, it does not make much sense to look at the nationwide numbers infected. They consider the omikron variant to be a “hypo-focal issue” and it is important to perceive the pandemic regionally, because while, for example, the conditions are already rising in the east, they will fall in the Banská Bystrica region for another week.
“Tvrdošín and Stropkov are higher than in the delta and at 8-9 times their minimum when descending in the delta. Poltár, Detva, Krupina are at a minimum and just starting to rise. Where Stropkov will be in 2 weeks, when Stropkov will fall,” warned.

“We have prepared a list of hospitals that are already rising and where there are more patients. It is no surprise that there are omikrons in the northeast of Slovakia. In 2-3 days it will be in Orava and Žilina,” he thinks.
As they pointed out, the numbers are still declining in districts where they say goodbye to the delta and especially where vaccination is high.

Mobility will play its part
An comparison of the number of ambulance trips will also be an important indicator of where and how big a problem we have. “We should not be surprised if the metropolis of Bratislava and within a week also Trnava and Nitra, where there is a high mobility of students, workers, many in hostels and boarding schools. There can also be more trips to the elderly and subsequent hospitalizations.” they point out.

“It is true that whoever rises and grows first, that district and region will also go first and down in the omikron. It will not be long, let’s count in weeks. We are already going to the third week in growing districts, 15 days may be on top.” they mentioned and pointed to the case of Great Britain, which was still at its peak on New Year’s Eve, and at the beginning of February they would start living with absolutely no coronavirus.
