reBonn virologist Professor Hendrik Streeck advocates a change in strategy to deal with coronavirus. “In assessing the situation, we must not limit ourselves to pure infection numbers,” he said in an interview with WELT AM SONNTAG. The number of people testing positive in Germany and Europe is increasing significantly. “At the same time, we hardly see any increase in the death rate.”
Streeck, director of the Institute for Virology and HIV Research at the University of Bonn, therefore emphasizes: “We cannot let life stand still. It is important to note that no one – no politician, no virologist, no epidemiologist – knows the only correct way to deal with the pandemic. We can only try things and we have to be able to make mistakes. “
Basically, you should try to prevent infections as much as possible. The infection figures can also be read differently: “From a social point of view, infections without symptoms are not necessarily bad. The more people are infected and do not develop symptoms, the more immune they will be, at least for a short period of time. You can no longer contribute to the pandemic, ”Streeck said on WELT AM SONNTAG.
