He emphasized that the new crown virus will always exist.
At the meeting, he mainly analyzed the key elements of the new crown epidemic, and specifically mentioned the mutation of the new crown virus and the plan to use new tools to track the mutant virus in the future.
Ciodras said that based on available scientific data and some unknown parameters, he has the following predictions for the future trend of the epidemic:
-New tools must be used to "monitor" viruses;
——The human body can develop natural immunity to the new coronavirus without a vaccine, and the immunity can last for a long time:
-In the future, we need to continue to pay attention to the evolution and mutation of the new coronavirus.
Cioderas emphasized that in the future we must be more fully prepared to face the new crown virus.
Regarding the mutation of the new coronavirus, he said that the mutation of the virus will increase the infectivity and pathogenicity of the virus, and the effectiveness of public health measures, virus testing, drugs and vaccines may also be reduced.
Therefore, we must pay attention to the mutations of various new coronaviruses in the future.
