Doctor Kondrakhin believes that for the disappearance of COVID-19, the whole world needs to be inoculated with “Lenta.ru” possible scenarios for defeating the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the first scenario, humanity will take full control of COVID-19 and the virus will become on a par with seasonal flu, the doctor believes, and emphasizes that this requires a high level of herd immunity. “The following situation will happen: with each strengthening of immunity, the activity of the virus will decrease, and it will result in seasonal flu in our country. That is, we will not have a large number of people entering the intensive care unit, “Kondrakhin believes.
According to the doctor, with such a development of events, some of the people who already have antibodies will not notice the disease at all if get infected, the other part will carry the disease easily, like a regular flu. People who will still need hospitalization during infection will remain, but its duration will be significantly reduced compared to the current situation, Kondrakhin noted.
To implement the second option, in which you can completely defeat COVID-19, you need to rally. “It will be like smallpox if the worldwide infection disappears. But our crown is slipping, everyone has already recognized that we cannot inoculate the whole world, and there are countries that, for economic reasons, cannot afford it. If we have such countries left, then they will be reservoirs of this virus until the entire world community comes to an agreement and, roughly speaking, vaccinates everyone that was when there was smallpox, but we inoculated the whole world and everything stopped, “concluded Kondrakhin .
