Dr. Lilian Abbo on the Covid-19 Surge: ‘This Is Not Drama, This Is Reality’

‘This is a time for everyone to understand that it’s up to each one of you to take social responsibility to protect yourself and to protect everyone around you’

EXCERPT:

ABBO: "Thank you. Thank you very much for the invitation. Absolutely. Like everything you have been hearing throughout the day, this is not drama. This is reality. We are concerned. We're seeing an increased number of flights coming through Miami. We know that people have pandemic fatigue, people want to get out, people are tired, but this is what's going to get us into trouble. Our hospitals right now have good capacity to take care of people, but our hospitals are full with non-Covid patients. As the number of Covid cases increase, it’s going to become very difficult to take care of everyone, and the same time maintain the economy open. This is a time for everyone to understand that it’s up to each one of you to take social responsibility to protect yourselves and to protect everyone around you. Especially during this holiday times."
