COVID-19 “It will never go away”. Words by Pier Luigi Lopalco, epidemiologist and health advisor for the Puglia region. “There would still have been a second wave” even if we had extended the closure of last March for a few months, Lopalco told Un giorno da pecora on Rai Radio 1, “because in any case this virus continues to circulate in a completely hidden way. Now it is a endemic virus will never go away. ‘

“The vaccine” that will come “will change our way of life,” he explained. “It is likely that with the vaccine we will save the most fragile people and we can live a little more calmly. And then, in any case, as the new waves arrive “that will continue to happen”, they will be softer and softer, “said the scientist. But how many waves can we expect?” I do not want to scare “, but” the flu It makes a wave a year – observed Lopalco – It will probably be the same for the coronavirus “Sars-CoV-2:” It will become a seasonal autumn-winter disease.

“We have to see how they work, we have a lot of tests that work well. If they work, it can be a good turning point, for God’s sake, “he explained, answering the question of what he thought of the Covid self-diagnostic tests that have been tested in Veneto since yesterday. There are high expectations around these new tests because, in the presence of a high number of infections, they would allow a considerable saving of time and costs and also a better management of the emergency. Lopalco also added that the coronavirus is now “an endemic virus, it will never disappear.” But with the “Vaccine we will be able to assure the most fragile people and we will be able to live more in peace.”
