Professor Voshaar, however, believes that the vast majority of those patients with COVID-19 infections that ICU doctors are talking about are not being treated in the ICU for COVID-19 infection but rather because the patients were found to be infected in the course of treating other diseases. Pulmonologist Cihan Celik argues that intensive care units are already overloaded this summer and that the oversupply of wards will increase this fall.

Voshaar, 'All this is now a scandal, and the truth has been twisted!'
