Journal Article
A cascade of causes that led to the COVID-19 tragedy in Italy and in other European Union countries
2020
Overview
The cause of this disease is the new coronavirus, for which we do not have a vaccine. [...]it can be expected that the disease will be very dangerous for the elderly and to those who are already ill. In my article “20 Key Questions and Answers on Coronavirus” posted on the 9th of March, 2020 on Index.hr [1], in answer to question number 18, “With the effectiveness of quarantine in China, can we draw some lessons from this pandemic?”, I stated: “If the virus continues to spread throughout 2020, it will demonstrate in a very cruel way how well the public health systems of individual countries are functioning… In doing so, human errors that can lead to the unnecessary spread of the infection are: (1) omission to properly understand the epidemic parameters; (2) reluctance to make decisions based on the changes in those parameters; and (3) the irresponsible behavior of the population in complying with instructions from the authorities. First of all, there was probably a premature relaxation around the real danger of COVID-19 in Europe.
