Are we approaching a saturation point in terms of Coronavirus infections in some of the countries where the pandemic is going worst?
Eventually, will the virus run out of the people to infect?
There are many unknowns linked with Coronavirus and I have studied few things, and I am going to describe some ways that how this Global Pandemic is going to end.
When I am writing this post, this virus has infected more than 1.4 Million people across 206 countries with 85,522 deaths. The best way for stopping the spread of the virus is self isolation. Seeing this, many governments have imposed lockdowns in countries. But, Is this the end of the virus? No.
How will this pandemic end?
Guido Vanham said that it will probably never end until and unless we eradicate it. And the best way to eradicate this virus would be an effective vaccine that is to be delivered to every human being. We have done that with smallpox before, and it has taken several years.
Here's something special for you guys. We know that this virus comes from a family that we know, the coronaviruses. So, will it behave like them? Do comment below guys.
If it behaves like them then, it may reappear seasonally - more in the winter, spring and autumn and less in the early summer.
What Data and History Says?
The countries that are most effected due to this pandemic like Italy and Spain and now America is gradually becoming center of this Virus, there will be a saturation.
According to a report published in World Economic Forum, around 40% of the Spanish and 26% of the Italian population have been infected already. If it goes around 50% then the virus just has fewer people to infect - and so the epidemic will come down naturally. We have seen it during previous epidemics.
The Horrifying Facts
We do know that people are recovering from COVID-19 in most of the cases. This all happening because our body produces anti-bodies. But, do we know that how protective these antibodies are? No.
How long will that protection last for - is it a matter of months or years? Well, the end of this pandemic depends upon the protective immunity that a human body generated after getting hitted by the wave of COVID-19.
It's logical that when you have cancer or diabetes, that you are more susceptible to infections. But what is remarkable - what we do not really understand - is that people with simple hypertension are also very vulnerable to developing this disease.
Age also is a definable criteria while getting infected.
The End Notes
You may get somewhat upset reading this whole article. While some of you may be thinking its not a matter of fact. But, that's what we have to know. The questions about this virus are enough and what we want is the data. More data and more data. To understand how this virus is infecting, who are most probable to get infected and so on.
Please give your views in the comment section. I will surely look up on them and get back to you. Maybe, some of your points help me find the next article on The Notes.
That's all for today. And prayers for the #coronafighters.
Have a good one. Cheers!
