Chinese scientists have expressed confidence that the new coronavirus cannot be completely eradicated from existence, as happened with the SARS virus, and they hope COVID-19 will become a seasonal disease such as influenza.
According to Bloomberg, Chinese scientists believe that the new coronavirus will not be completely eliminated, as happened with the SARS virus.
"Most likely, this will be a pandemic with which people will live for a long time, become seasonal and continue in the human body," Jin Qi, director of the Institute of Biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told a press conference in Beijing.
Bloomberg writes that there is consensus among leading scientists and many governments that the virus is not likely to be completely eradicated, despite quarantine measures that have disrupted the global economy.
Therefore, a number of health experts are calling for leaving coronavirus outbreaks among young people in a controlled manner, as in India, or for abandoning severe restrictions as Sweden, for example, did, Bloomberg said.
