Meanwhile, Hungary is sending 40 ventilators, 1,650 noninvasive ventilation (NIV) masks and 3,000 packages of the drug favipiravir to 20 hospitals in Romania, mostly in Transylvania, to aid the country in its management of the coronavirus epidemic, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Thursday.
Â
Considering that the epidemic knows no boundaries, the success of epidemic management in neighbouring countries greatly contributes to the success of Hungary’s epidemic response efforts, he said.
Â
He added that a fourth wave of the epidemic was raging across Europe and countries with low vaccination rates, such as Romania, could easily get in trouble.
Â
Many patients in Romania need invasive treatment and many of the hospitals find it hard to cope, he said. Consultations on the best ways to help are ongoing between representatives of the Hungarian government and the Romanian government, including many ethnic Hungarians, such as Deputy Prime Minister Hunor Kelemen and Health Minister Attila Cseke, he added.

Global and Growing Trend of Governments – message is CLEAR – Learn Citizens to Live with It.
Read and STUDY it.
Statistical Medical Data – is available Daily – http://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus – to look by countrys and trends.
Post February 2020 – the arrival of this ongoing Novel Coronavirus – Governments “focused” heavily on beating it ridding of it from civilian life.
Governments incorporated over time – awaiting a vaccine – changed direction – accepting – that the Defeat of its rampage into civilian life – the illimination of it was not a possibility.
Governments – then introduced “other” measures in the hope of protecting – control & management of the novel virus – civilians – from contacting this deadly novel virus.
The Vaccines – ARRIVED – and Hungary we in large part of our population – supported embraced the invitation of our Government – to take the jab – Chinese, Russian or the “real” juice that had been European or Worldly approved.
Mask Wearing – Lock Downs – the list is LONG – which we all over past 18 months know – what was recommended by Government – for our survival and well being, health & safety – that we can’t dismiss – did in fact carry on, through the process of our mass drive for Vaccination.
What is HAPPENING ???
The past (3) three weeks in Hungary – accelerated New Case Numbers of this Delta Strain or 4th wave of this Highly Infectious Novel Coronavirus ???
Governments – message to Citizens could be – we have gone through mask wearing- lock downs and “other” procedures centered on the Health & Safety of you – Citizens.
We have used additional Government funds to “hold” economies to-gether.
We have provided – YOU – will the availability – to be Vaccinated.
Silence from Government – Scary.
The “veiled” message in SILENCE – is it :
Citizens – LEARN to LIVE with It.
Still not enough Hungarians got vaccinated.
It is irresponsible not to get vaccinated.
It was irresponsible for the opposition DK to campaign against vaccination. It cost Hungarian lives.
Get vaccinated!
Get vaccinated!
Get vaccinated!
Even if you get the Covid, you don’t get very sick if you are vaccinated.
Exactly. Vaccines save lives. Yes you can still catch COVID even if you’re vaccinated, and yes you can still pass it to others, but it’s not as bad for us. For those who aren’t vaccinated, it can be so much worse for them. The healthcare system is already having to help those from Romania.
Just because you can’t see COVID doesn’t mean it’s not all around us. Don’t wait to be told to wear a mask, if you want to wear one then wear one. Use hand sanitizer. We’re now entering the colder weather in which the virus thrives, so be responsible. We do not want another lock down. The economy couldn’t cope with that, as with other economies worldwide. This is the time for thinking of others, not always about yourself. Many more graves will be visited this year because of this pandemic.
Baaaa baaaaa baaaaa …. and all the above comments are based on what research exactly?
