I got this message from a Viber Group. It is intended to clarify life after lockdown. But it also touched the question as to when coronavirus would end.
Looks like original author’s line of reasoning holds water. Please read through and let me know your take on It.
The virus will return every year and will not disappear: the predictions of the best Chinese scientists!
Coronavirus could return every year, and heat and summer are not necessarily expected to cause the rate of infection to drop. Word of the best Chinese scientists!
This coronavirus will not disappear, on the contrary, it could return as the flu every year. And let's not delude ourselves that with summer and heat the infections will collapse. To prefigure this optimistic scenario is the team of the best Chinese scientists.
Unlike SARS who disappeared within a year, COVID-19 could come back in waves. The reason is easy to say: this coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is more subtle as it can strike even without causing obvious symptoms.
It is precisely the presence of asymptomatic carriers that makes it difficult to fully contain the infection, which could silently continue to strike, going unnoticed.
The matter has been well explained by the group of researchers and doctors in Beijing during a press conference.
In 2002/2003 people who took SARS fell seriously ill. Once the patients were quarantined, the virus stopped spreading. With this new coronavirus, however, China is still finding many asymptomatic cases every day despite all the control measures implemented so far.
Therefore, explains the director of the pathogenic biology institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Jin Qui, “it is thought that this may be an epidemic with which we will have to live for a long time, which could become seasonal and hide in the organism without us even realizing it."
The best scientists, experts and governments around the world are starting to agree that the new coronavirus will not be eliminated despite the long and expensive lockdowns that have stopped the global economy and brought many sectors to their knees.
This is why, in many parts of the world, we are opening ourselves to the possibility of letting the virus spread (especially in poor countries and with the younger population) to develop herd immunity. On the other hand, Sweden has already shown that the counter-current strategy of not closing everything can be an effective move.
As for the hope that the contagion curve will drop or reach zero with summer, Chinese experts reiterate that there is no certain scientific evidence. The virus is sensitive to heat, but only when exposed to 56 ° C for at least 30 minutes! And it never gets so hot. "Globally, even during the summer, the chance of cases going down significantly is minimal," said Wang Guiqiang, head of the infectious disease department of the first hospital of the University of Beijing.
