Coronavirus, Sileri: “Vaccine not before mid-2021. The new normal is to get used to protections”

Following the suspension of the new vaccine tests for AstraZeneca and the call of scientists to be cautious about the timing of the cure against SARS-CoV-2, the Vice Minister of Health Pierpaolo sileri says he is optimistic “about the possibility of a vaccine, but -he adds- they are also realistic That there won’t be until the middle of next year. And then I hope there is an effective and long-lasting vaccine, but above all safe ”. Sileri, interviewed in Campus Radio Cusano, explains that “the normal you will have or when the virus, motu proprioShould it change to a shape for us? favorable, perhaps turning into a virus that only gives colds and nothing else, or when we achieve a herd immunity. But it is clear that, with the numbers we have, approximately 1500 positives per day, For ‘group immunity it would take too long and therefore the possibility of the vaccine remains a herd immunity acquired through vaccines ”.

What is safe, continues Sileri, is that “it will take many months and I believe that next year we will continue to protect ourselves. The habit of protections will be the new normal. Let’s not forget that this is a virus that severely affects ours Old people and those who have problems with greeting pre-existing and they are the ones we must defend first ”. Then he insists on the importance of “not lowering your guard”, because “until the virus circulates, even if it is as little as now, we will have to continue with the mask and the rest. “As for the horizon of a return to”absolute normality will take time. I would also like to see the nightclubs open, I would also like to check all locals open he stages crowded, but we still have to wait a bit. Now let’s go to direction of normality in Domestic association with the virus “.

Then it also intervenes in the duration of the quarantine, that he France I decided to take it for 14 to 7 days. A decision you don’t share Ranieri War, Deputy Director ofwho, because “to reduce it there must be a concertation in the EU based on scientific evidence and not on calculation political the cheap“. the vice Minister think that “a good commitment could be 7 days” of quarantine, “the last day is the buffer and then you are free. Or 5 days, but it would go more towards 7 ″. “Who sneezes? – he continued Sileri – infects many more people around him than who breathe with his nose open and he doesn’t even have the coldand that’s why I’ve been pushing for the role of the for a couple of days quarantine. Today they are in quarantine i contacts closing a positive and a quarantine lasts 14 days. There is this dialogue about the possibility of reducing it because some scientific work, I have to say very few, it says that perhaps less is needed. Perhaps in my opinion it is not enough: gods are needed Scientific work let them tell us if we can reduce it ”.

Sileri see a possible strategy for ending the quarantine later 7 days with a buffer. “So you free people, because today the real problem is there quarantine close contacts of a positive: we run the risk of closing too many in one office, a restaurant or any other activities, quarantine people who are okay for doubting that asymptomatic and positive. You remove the doubt like this: 7 days of quarantine per contact, swabbing and then free ”.
