“Recession in the summer, in October we’ll be “capped” again - Russian doctor on coronavirus
The virus that causes Covid will continue to circulate and become seasonal.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this in an interview with Izvestia, a leading researcher at the Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immunobiological Preparations named after. M.P. Chumakova RAS Lyubov Kozlovskaya, answering the question of what she thinks about subsequent waves of COVID-19 in Russia?
“I believe that coronavirus will become seasonal. We will have a recession in the summer, and in October we will “catch up” again. If we do not vaccinate everyone at once, as in Israel, San Marino and Chile, a significant effect from vaccination will not be visible. This seasonality is always observed in countries with a temperate climate. And I don't know why seasonal infections are such a mystery. For example, scientists still cannot clearly explain why there is no flu in the summer. After all, in theory, it is airborne, and it doesn’t care whether it’s cold or warm,” the specialist said.
In her opinion, in a year, in May 2022, everything will be exactly the same.
“I was afraid to admit this to myself in 2020. And I'm afraid to admit it to myself now. For those vaccinated, COVID-19 will go away like a seasonal “corona” - a minor cold. It will cause pneumonia in some people. The virus will continue to circulate. And we need to learn to live with this,” Kozlovskaya concluded.
