Professor Branislav Tiodorovic, an epidemiologist and a member of the Crisis HQ for the fight against coronavirus, has an interesting proposal to "solve" Covid 19 now, so as not to wait for a new report and data every day at 3 pm that undermine the hope that a solution exists.

"I will tell you openly, although it will seem paradoxical to you, but I am in favor of letting everything function normally. I only have one condition. That supervision and control of the implementation of the measures is very rigorous. Well, if one restaurant organized parties three times, then financial fines are no longer fit, that's for closing and a more serious approach to that owner than to fine them 150,000 or 300,000 dinars," Professor Dr. Tiodorovic told Nedeljnik in an interview.

Although such an option does not seem realistic, we need to wait for the numbers to really continue to fall. For that, he says, the time factor is not important at all.

"Austrians say that relaxing of measures will start on June 15, the French are talking about June 1, but these are all estimates which we know exactly what motivated them. Sometimes we say that, too, and the reason is simple - to give people a motive to be more disciplined because this has lasted too long. It's realistic that we cannot say a specific date," said Professor Dr. Tiodorovic.

Commenting on others praising us for the vaccination effort, the professor said that now is not the time to sum things up, nor to declare victory but to talk to those who hesitate to get vaccinated.
