COVID-19 will soon become a “fundamentally different disease,” becoming, like other coronaviruses, another cause of the common cold; This view was expressed by Professor Paul Hunter of Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia in an article in Spectator.
“Kovid will become another disease. In a few years, most cases of infection will be asymptomatic or in a mild form of disease of the nose and throat. In other words, COVID will be another cause of colds, “said the scientist.
He also stressed that the symptoms of COVID-19 have become more recognizable. For example, the Delta variant is characterized by a sore throat and runny nose.
Professor Hunter believes that coronavirus infection will become a seasonal disease, which will peak in winter, which will lead to a significant reduction in mortality. According to him, vaccination will slow down the spread of COVID-19, but to a lesser extent will protect us from new cases of infection. However, vaccines will protect us from the more severe course of the disease and its lethal outcome, he added.
“Collective immunity will never be created, but we will achieve a controlled balance between immunity and infection,” said Professor Hunter, adding that all bad things are over, at least as far as the situation in the UK is concerned.
