About end of the COVID-19 pandemic many of us have heard: there are those who say that to be definitely calm we will have to wait until 2022 and those who believe that in reality the situation is already under control and therefore the Government could also loosen restrictions introduced in order to limit infections.
In the last hours in the different “forecasts“(When it comes to the evolution of a pandemic, in fact, there are no certainties) that of Health Minister, Roberto Speranza, who in an exclusive interview with Republic made it clear how much we’ll still have to live with COVID-19 restrictions.
We are not out of the woods yet This is demonstrated by the resurgence of infections and those hospitalized in intensive care; the situation is under control but a possible deterioration is just around the corner, for this reason again for a few months We will have to respect the restrictions introduced to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Coronavirus, Hope’s announcement: “We are close to the vaccine“
As Premier Conte has always explained, to switch to phase three – that is, when there are no more restrictions and you can think about relaunching the country – you have to find one watch out or a vaccine for COVID-19.
That is why Italians, who expect a return to normal, eagerly await news about the vaccine. In this sense, the good news is given by the Minister of Health, who in an interview with La Repubblica stated that “a cure and vaccine for COVID-19 are near” is that AstraZeneca – who just a few days ago had stopped testing the vaccine, decided restart since the anomalous case registered was not related to the vaccine.
This is obviously good news, also because of the vaccine package. “6 + 1“That the European Union is buying the one from AstraZeneca is in the later stage of experimentation.
And also on the treatment front there is good news: for example, as Speranza recounts, in Siena Professor Rino Rappuoli is doing a job ”.extraordinary”About the monoclonal antibodies thanks to which they will effective drugs.
COVID-19: that’s when it will all end
But the question everyone is asking is: When will it all end? Speranza talked about this too, envisioning a date to get back to normal.
The Minister of Health explained that for the moment it is still important to respect the anti-contagion rules since Italy is not out of danger yet.
Thus spacing me mask obligation in certain circumstances, as well as frequent hand washing. And with the risk that in areas with many outbreaks there may also be a localized blockage. And about the possible reduction of quarantine to seven days Minister Speranza preferred not to exaggerate, postponing any decision until after a confrontation with the CTS and other European countries.
But it is not forever: as Speranza explains, in fact, we will have to hold out for a few more months, six to be exact. The pandemic, in fact, will last again in the fall and in Winter, only to back off thanks to the new COVID-19 treatments and the vaccine (which should be ready by then).
After months of uncertainty, therefore, the Government is unbalanced: after winter, in March and about a year after the outbreak of the pandemic, there may be the long-awaited return to normal.
