How to contain the spread of Covid amid vaccine scepticism in Romania? | COVID-19 Special

Nearly 400 Romanians are dying from the virus every day. The health system is collapsing. Ambulances are queuing outside hospitals, already at capacity. Some Covid patients are being transferred to neighboring Hungary for treatment.
Romania has one of the highest Covid-19 death rates in the world. What will it take to stop the spread of the virus in a country where thousands are against containment measures including vaccinations?

You can’t help people that don’t want to help themselves.

Unfortunately, Romania is victim to inter-generational trauma from past experiences of government trust. This will only get worse before it gets better. Good luck.

Here in the Philippines we also suffered last few months but now it is getting normal.. fewer cases were reported every week.. if you think your body or your love ones are coughing or weak.. PLEASE eat a lot of food and go to your doctor.. coz if it hits you bland taste will weaken you more by not eating enough food.. prevention is better than cure.. stay safe everyone and Godbless!

Please get me out of this place, I'm tired and ashamed of being associated with it.
It's not enough to change yourself. You still can't change a whole society that's built on pain, mistrust and fear.

Even in Japan more than 30000 people have died as excess death. This number has exceeded the victim of Tohoku earthquake disaster which caused huge tsunami hitting.

How much DW got paid to promote vaccine

[gearhead]

I’m sure social media/conspiracy theories play a big role in this tragedy.

I have some friends in Romania 🇷🇴...they also keep me informed on the country's status. Stay safe and all the best.

[roshanjain]

Then let them die, face consequences and of their choices

[croydonnjohn]

It's all about control, once the green pass will be introduced it will never disapear !!

At same time 2000 people dies of smoking and or driking daily in romania.
They only country with balls to say it aloud

[Dannyjournal]

Why not Unvaccinated in Uk and USA are not dying but only in Romania they are dying. I trust Vaccine but curious to know since there are many vaccine hesitants in rich countries than poor countries 🙏

[oscargrainger]

The real tragedy in this saga is the amount of people who would be walking about now who are dead, through vaccine hesitancy.
