Unnecessary optimism may harm: PAP deputy on Armenian PM’s statement about possibility to return to regular life

The 11 new cases of coronavirus are inspiring hope, but it is necessary to follow the dynamics tomorrow, the day after it and the following days too, deputy from Prosperous Armenia faction Sergey Bagratyan told Aysor.am, referring to the idea voiced by Armenia’s PM about possibility to return to regular life from Monday if the restrictions of Commandant’s office be followed during the week.

“It is possible to think about returning the regular pace of life in only 4-5 days after new cases are not being recorded. Today’s 11 cases are a good news, but it should not raise unnecessary enthusiasm. It is necessary to be cautious. Probably the PM tried to share his delight, it is clear, he is emotional, let God bring his optimism to reality,” the deputy said, warning again that it is necessary to be very cautious taking into consideration that the tempos of the disease in the world are reducing and then growing again.

“We must not hurry not to make a mistake,” he said.

Referring to the damages coronavirus caused to economy, the deputy said, “Naturally we would like the economy to restore a day earlier but we have an issue. What is the dilemma? Healthcare and economy. I mean if we do not pay necessary attention to the healthcare, we will have losses in the economy and the opposite, having issues in the economy we will not manage to fund the healthcare sector. This dilemma must be settled in parallel,” Bagratyan said, adding that the economic collapse may result in collapse of the healthcare.
