Gülhane Medical Faculty Medical Specialist in Microbiology and Medical Virology Assoc. Dr. Fatih Şahiner spoke about the ending date of the corona virus epidemic.
According to the news from Ceyda Erenoğlu from Habertürk, Assoc. Specialist in Medical Microbiology and Medical Virology at the Gülhane Faculty of Medicine. Dr. Fatih Sahinermade statements about the end date of the corona virus outbreak.
Noting that the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health authorities have made estimates that this epidemic may continue for two more years, “I also agree with these predictions and predictions” said.
Şahiner’s statements are as follows:
When this virus first appeared, experts working with international organizations, including the WHO, on epidemics and viruses, compared this new virus with SARS and MERS; They highlighted the possibility that it will disappear in a year, like SARS, or be limited to regional outbreaks like MERS. However, compared to the other two viruses, COVID-19 caused the largest epidemic of the last century and the first known coronavirus pandemic with its high rate of spread (easy transmission) in society.
Current data shows that this virus, which spreads to every country in the world and infects not only humans but also pets such as cats, can remain in the cycle around the world in two years.(WHO had announced that the epidemic could continue for 2 more years, until 2022) This situation indicates that we all need to prepare for this problem.
In a study based on antibody detection tests carried out by the Ministry of Health, it was revealed that social immunity against the virus was at very low levels. As a result, less than a million of the country’s population of 84 million appear to have encountered this virus. Even if this number is 10 million, it turns out that between 70 and 80 million of society is still susceptible to infection.
From this point of view, it is thought that even a period of two years may be insufficient for social immunity to reach a certain level. Therefore, it is stated that it is very difficult to get rid of this virus in less than two years without a vaccine that stimulates the immune system (both T and B cells), although it is not absolute protection.
