The virologist Marylyn Addo expects the corona pandemic to "see significant relaxation" from spring and summer.

"Already because of the warmer weather and the higher vaccination rate," said the head of the Infectious Diseases Section at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".

“But I cannot imagine that we will be able to toast it so soon in large crowds like at the Oktoberfest.

There should be an increase again in the second half of the year, it's just a cold virus.

But I remain confident. "

In response to the discussion about a slow start to vaccination in Germany, she said: “I would like you not to lose sight of the big picture.

If I had been told last February that we would have an argument in December about who would get the first vaccines, I would have thought it crazy - there would never be a vaccine that quickly.

But things turned out differently, and we should "celebrate" what has been achieved. "
