Prime Minister – Victor Orban & his Government have been exemplary, in their Management & Control, of this novel coronavirus.
It is time, that Budapest, the 23 Districts, that come under this classification, deeper affirmative actions are needed to be introduced, to stem the rampant and aggressive path that currently, we All are witnessing, in the journey on-going, of this deadly novel coronavirus.
The “zenith” of this second wave, has a minimum of (3) three months, in weather patterns, that statistically, the effects on those who are infected by this deadly virus, face greater recovery and challenges than in the warmer summer month seasons.
It should be considered by our Government, supported by the Mayors of the 23 Districts, and their Municipal Governments, if figures and statistics, based on Medical Science, indicates, that their District is a – Hot Spot – and in need of firmer close down action, to control and monitor, the on-going spread of this deadly virus, within their District, this Decision and Action must be effected Immediately.
We currently have near on 11.000 thousand and growing daily, cases of this novel virus, in the 23 Districts of Budapest.
We know, the Districts, out of the 23, that are the – HOT SPOTS – districts.
Harsh measures, that pain me and to write on this subject, that would be a measure of isolation of citizens to a greater degree, than at present – we ALL live.
It must be considered and broadly discussed, as a policy procedure, that may assist in the slowing, controlling, managing, widening and spreading – of this deadly novel virus, that Challenges us ALL.
We wait, patiently, for the discovery of a vaccine, that will immunize human beings from contacting this novel virus.
Stay Safe & Well – ALL.
