“This virus, which is a pneumotropic virus, as we all know, it will stand in line with other pneumotropic viruses. I mean the influenza virus and all these viruses that cause the usual SARS ... This will be the second wave. But it will be climatic ... We just forgot that we get the flu twice a year: in early spring and late autumn, ”the expert said in an interview with Zvezda TV channel.
According to him, the disease may begin again in late autumn.
“And there will be not only the flu virus, but also the coronavirus. In July, August and September we will forget about coronavirus, just as we forget about flu, ”he added.
He specified that COVID-19 was not very pathogenic, but with a high risk of disease, which distinguishes it from others and is currently the “advantage” of this virus.
“After the pandemic subsides, its infectivity will decrease somewhat, and it will come to us twice a year - in early spring and autumn. That is, the second wave will begin somewhere in the month of October, ”the specialist concluded.
Earlier in Rospotrebnadzor it was stated that the second wave of COVID-19 may coincide with the autumn period of SARS.
In early May, virologist Alexander Chepurnov in an interview with Nation News spoke about measures that, he said, help reduce the number of patients with coronavirus.
