This epidemic will stop when we achieve 60 percent of herd immunity, and I think we are very close to that, said Dr. Branimir Nestorovi.

He also said that not everyone should get tested, because on the World Health Organization (WHO) website, the criteria for testing are the same now as they were at the beginning of the epidemic: a temperature of 38 degrees or more and shortness of breath.

“The idea of ​​testing is too strange. It’s going nowhere. Not in a single book, not in a single recommendation. At first, when there is an epidemic, you can go after those contacts and test them to prevent the virus from spreading. It is known that the sick and those who have been in contact with them are then evaluated ”, says Néstor, adding that risk groups can be isolated, especially the elderly in nursing homes.

“It is the eighth month of the epidemic. When you look at the countries that have been blocked, the countries that have not been, the countries that have tried a lot, that have not tried, there is not much difference.”

Nestor also notes that coronavirus mortality is currently at the level of seasonal flu, and the chances of a child dying from it are equal, according to research, to being struck by lightning.

Otherwise, he believes that the virus will not disappear in the next five years.
