Regretfully – medical statistical data, places us – Hungary, on the “thin” cusp, that we are tumbling into the category, that suggest no other alternative but to instigate a complete Lock Down.
The powerfulness, fierceness and the aggressiveness – the upward trend of this deadly novel virus, in Hungary, the decision to Lock Us Down, appears the Humanitarian focal point, in the decision process by Government that needs to be taken.
This opinion is not driven by exaggeration, but by factorial medical statistical data, that places Hungary, on the thin “cusp” of placing us in total Lock Down.
We must continue at ALL costs – the avoidance – from witnessing us – Hungary, becoming an entrenched Humanitarian and Economic Disaster.
The Government of Hungary, must on the statistical medical data, take a position in their decision making process, that pre-empts, further ravages of catastrophic proportions, this novel coronavirus, could and would inflict into the citizens of Hungary.
We must remain – United – fighting this challenge together, that on medical statistical data, does suggests we must go into total Lock Down.
