Michael Levitt, a professor at Stanford University and a Nobel Prize in chemistry, called the blockade a “big mistake.”
The 63-year-old scientist was recently interviewed by actor and presenter Freddie Slayer, according to the Daily Mail, a UK-based media outlet. In that interview, Professor Levitt said: “If the world had been more aware of how China has faced the threat from the crown, governments would have taken a different approach.” In particular, economic activities would not stop.
“If we have to do the same thing again, we will be asked to introduce face masks, sanitize hands, touch-free payments (such as mobile phone transactions instead of cash) and keep the elderly in isolation,” he said.
The only South African Nobel Prize-winning scientist said: “Reviewing the measures taken in the Corona crisis, Germany and Sweden will be the biggest winners. They didn’t give too many blocks, only a few people got sick for ‘tough immunity’. There will be Austria, Australia and Israel in the category of the unfortunate, because they have imposed a severe blockade before many people have been infected, it did not establish any type of harsh immunity in addition to causing great harm to society.
According to Professor Levitt, head of the Stanford Department of Medicinal Structural Biology, while the first group is protected from the next coronavirus outbreak, the second group will be at risk.
