As the corona 19 infection continues to spread due to the delta mutant virus, the number of new confirmed cases surpassed 2,000 today (9th), and at least 5 million people must be cumulatively infected, an expert opinion came out.
Jeong Jae-hoon, a professor of preventive medicine at Gachon University, appeared on SBS digital original 'Issula' and said, "At least 5 million people in Korea must be cumulatively infected so that Corona 19 will no longer spread."
Professor Jung emphasized, "Assuming that the vaccination rate in Korea is 80% of the population, at least 10% of the remaining 20% of unvaccinated people will inevitably become infected."
Professor Jung explained that this number is "almost fixed value according to mathematical formulas, etc."
Professor Jeong said that although public expectations for daily recovery are rising about the so-called 'with Corona', where social discussions begin, "the number of confirmed cases cannot be reduced if we go with 'With Corona'. "I think it's fortunate to keep the number of confirmed cases at the current level," he said.
He emphasized, "Vaccination is almost the only way to reduce the damage. The higher the vaccination rate, the less debt we have to bear in the future," he emphasized.
Regarding the clear concept of with corona explained by Professor Jung, it will be first released on the SBS News YouTube channel at 3:40 pm today, and then uploaded to the SBS News homepage and major portal sites.
