will not go – time

TO “On Tuesday”, The talk about the news of Giovanni floris your LA7, the virologist Ilaria Capua is optimistic about the course of Covid-19, but warns: “We will learn to live with this virus“Dr. Ilaria Capua starts from an assumption about the Coronavirus:” We must remember that we are in the presence of a very contagious variant, the English one, but we must look at the half-full glass. Other European countries have had more than 1000 deaths a day, in Italy there has never been. There is an increase in contagion, but fortunately for us the death toll is stationary and I hope that soon the hospitalization curve will begin to collapse. I do not agree with those who say that things are not going well. All registered vaccines protect against death and disease 100%, certainly the virus continues to circulate where the population is not fully vaccinated, so we are talking about herd immunity that must be achieved as soon as possible ”.

Floris points out that the problem is precisely the vaccine that “does not reach the arm” and the virologist adds a piece: “We realized that herd immunity can also fall within a range of people, that is, if we break down the subset of people more at risk and vaccinate them all, we could say that we have herd immunity in that range. Consequently, we stop deaths. We must bear in mind that lifestyles also lower the contagion curve, it has been seen that minorities who do not they live in urban centers, but they have taken the matter seriously, they have crushed the curve ”.

The director Alessandro Sallusti He asked him if when all Italians are vaccinated, the virus will disappear or we will have to undergo more doses and Dr. Capua showers with cold water: “No, the Covid will not disappear and it will become endemic, its circulation is active, the vaccine is clarifies “. disease and reduces transmission. Two doses of Pfizer reduce transmission by 90%, the more we vaccinate people, the more there will be zero deaths and less circulation. Viral circulation will be reduced, but cannot be restored. The transition from a pandemic to an epidemic emergency will take place and we will learn to live with the virus even without seeing it, we will have groups of mortality here and there, but it will not be a problem. Perhaps if we had made a synthesis between those over 70 and those who govern today we would be in a different situation, but let’s try to understand that if we managed to protect half of the people at risk of hospitalization, that is, the frail, we would be out of that. It still takes a little patience and we come out of it. If we make a mistake, we run the risk of collapsing. “
