Trepidation is my position.
Don’t feel comfortable with our increase over the past (3) three weeks, trending upward in new cases of this novel coronavirus.
The global trend in new cases is horrifically in a spiral upward trend.
Why are we following this global pattern ?
We have relaxed tourism entry over the past (3) three weeks.
Is this a major factor ?
Budapest – is the “hot spot” the in and out back to location of our tourist adventures of Hungary.
Budapest – has throughout this novel coronavirus pandemic, been the highest statistical, by medical data reports location of active virus carriers and deaths.
Should we re-visit our level of tourist quotas and of greater importance, the countries tourists are visiting us from and there Medical Health Status ?
Living in District V, the past (3) three weeks, it is plainly obvious the increase in tourist numbers from countries of the globe from different backgrounds and culture.
Victor Orban – our gifted Prime Minister and His Government have been exemplary in the Management and Control of this novel coronavirus.
Is it time to tighten AGAIN – the increased movement and numbers of human beings in Budapest and Hungary ?
There still has not been a vaccine discovered that can immunize human beings from contacting this deadly virus.
We must avoid at ALL costs the ability and facilities that allow large numbers of human beings under the same environment.
We must Manage and Control ensuring absolute tightness in the application of visitors, there entry authority as tourist to Hungary.
We must ALL remain vigilant and act in a driven focused attitude of Responsibility in our daily lives, in our UNITED fight and the Challenges – thrust at us ALL, by this novel coronavirus.
Stay Well – ALL.
