The rector of the University of Semmelweis said that the problem now is less than in the first wave, but the threat is not.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

We brought the coronavirus from Croatia in the summer, which spread in Hungary in the community, in large groups, said Béla Merkely, rector of the University of Semmelweis, in the question of InfoRádió Arena about why the second wave of the epidemic broke out.

Now the problem is less than in the first wave, but more infected, the threat is not small.

Large numbers of young people can transmit the virus to older people, and if that happens, a relatively large number of older people will become infected if there is an ineffective defense and mortality could increase, he explained.

According to the professor, although they are now infected at home by younger people, the same virus is infected as in spring. You can trust that you have lost your strength, but you can be sure of that in four or five years.

Béla Merkely also spoke about changing the state assessment of high-risk people, including teachers. About evaluating teachers, the Human Resources Department has previously said it doesn’t make sense.

For the safety of the elderly, the teacher, to minimize the encounter with young people, would recover the shopping time zone and prohibit night parties.

It would also mandate the mandatory use of masks in an enclosed space: by some estimates, if 80 percent of the population wears a mask, the infection rate cannot rise and regresses rather slowly.

With very disciplined cooperation, any epidemic can be suppressed without closing the country.

He declared.

According to Merkely, there may be a coronavirus vaccine in two months, the only question is for whom and when will it be available. It would first vaccinate those most exposed to the pathogen: those who work in health and social care and teachers, as well as the elderly, the chronically ill. She stressed, this is just your idea, implementation will not be your job.

The rector of the SE also spoke that this virus was infected once, the news that there are those who have infected it twice fall into the category of exception that reinforces the rule.
