It is also not possible to plan a fully liberated vacation due to the coronavirus epidemic in 2021. The reason for this is that new mutations would require an 85-90 percent vaccination to achieve herd immunity, but it is reported that vaccinating children , which represent 20 percent of the country, will start in autumn at the earliest, according to an interview with Prize winner Anna Széchenyi, an immunologist, professor in the Department of Immunology at Eötvös Loránd University.
All of this means, the immunologist added, that we must be prepared for long-term protection, which means we are expected to wear a mask by the end of the year, respect the prescribed contact distance, and wash our hands frequently. Earlier, several renowned experts, such as virus researcher Miklós Rusvai, spoke about the fact that full opening may come in mid-May, and in the summer we can finally discard the masks. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also commented on a summer off recently, so he could risk getting our old life back in late summer.
In the interview, Anna Erdei also spoke about why it is not possible to predict who is in danger. According to him, it depends on several factors, such as the number of pathogens, the current state of health and who has what immune system. A distant parallel to this is allergy: although the tendency is inherited, not all children within a family will be allergic even though they all grow up in the same environment.
In addition, vaccination against the coronavirus does not protect against infection, but only against the development of the disease and its complications. Because the coronavirus infects through the mouth and nose, the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract in direct contact with the outside world, which the vaccine also cannot prevent, full protection will only be provided by other types of vaccines currently under development. These will be available in spray format. It’s conceivable, Anna Erdei said, that the spray alone is enough to prevent the coronavirus from reaching the lungs from the upper respiratory tract.
