The infectiologist Franz Allerberger speaks in “Breakfast with me” about the risks of the crown, the blue miracles and the hope of a vaccine.
He is the head of AGES’s “Public Health” department and advisor to the government on the crown crisis. In Ö3- “Breakfast with me”, Professor Franz Allerberger now presented the new findings on the coronavirus: “It is a much more harmless disease than we feared ten months ago.”
“There will be no easy solution”
In an interview with Ö3 moderator Claudia Stöckl, Allerberger confirmed the new Stanford University study, which shows a crown mortality of 0.23 percent. However, he continues, even if only seven percent of intensive care beds in Austrian hospitals are currently occupied, it should be noted: “90 percent of Austrians are fully responsive and the proportion of people older than 65 years should not be underestimated because the proportion there mortality is significantly higher than that of seasonal flu. “
“We have to be careful not to experience our blue miracle.”
The infectologist sees the actual peak of Covid infections in December or January. Allerberger assumes that “the number of cases will double or increase even more. Once we have 4,000 or 5,000 new infections per day, we have to wait for medical care to find bottlenecks, that we will see deaths in nursing homes and then, the politicians are under massive pressure. But, in principle, we cannot prevent individual deaths, we can only postpone the process a bit, ‘flatten the curve’, as it’s called. “
Vaccine in summer at the earliest
The initial WHO announcements that the virus could be eradicated are outdated for the infectologist: “You have to mark that, the virus will stay with us. The WHO would do well to leave this statement. Each of us will be before” or get it later, unless I die earlier. There will be no easy fix. “Allerberger predicts a vaccine by July 2021 at the earliest.
