During the first wave of infections, which ended in a disorderly manner last June people died in Spain from coronavirus, 125,000 had to be hospitalized and economic activity suffered an unprecedented collapse. It was the inevitable price to pay for the emergence of the unexpected in our lives and for the austerity policies and cuts applied since that substantially weakened the national public health system and left no alternative to save lives than a strict and prolonged lockdown. After managing to control the epidemic, the insufficiency of the measures to strengthen public health to place it at the level of the enormous existing risks gave rise to a languid rebound in economic activity and a new wave of infections that has ended up blurring and distancing the horizon of economic reactivation. The exit from the unprecedented recession suffered by the Spanish economy in the first half of 2020 is delayed.
In this extremely serious situation, Casado's PP tries to achieve with its irresponsible commitment to ungovernability that the public debate continues to focus, as in recent weeks, on the extension or modalities of confinement and leaves aside what is essential, the measures to strengthen the public health system that would allow AOL Email List infections to be contained and kept under control. If public health is not reinforced, we will be doomed to repeat the same sequence of events over and over again: confinements make it possible to control the peaks of the epidemic, but they do not prevent community transmission from occurring again nor can they prevent, once the epidemic has flattened, contagion curve and restrictions on mobility and social contacts are over, new uncontrolled and very destructive waves of infections will occur. The lack of hiring of health and tracing personnel and the insufficient measures to strengthen primary care centers will continue to cause the recurrent overflow of public health.
And each new outbreak of the epidemic will entail a high and avoidable cost in human lives, serious losses of jobs, business fabric and economic activity and a growing social unrest due to the repeated demonstration of the inability of the institutions to get ahead of the problems and offer solutions that were and continue to be within reach. Yes, within reach, because thanks to the measures approved by community institutions in breach of the austerity policies and rules applied since 2010, in this new crisis there have been and continue to be available financial resources and margins for issuance. of public debt that would allow us to invest in strengthening our weak system of detection, tracking, control and treatment of infected people. From what we have seen.
