The cumulative incidence continues to decline and Spain has already come out of high risk. Despite this, Margarita del Val specifies that what is controlled is “This summer wave. But in any case it is somewhat cyclical”, as stated in The Ana Rosa Program.
However, the virologist points out that “When the cool of autumn begins, the cases will begin to rise again, because we will begin to confine ourselves indoors that will not be well ventilated. “And to avoid a notable increase in infections, recommends “continuous and cross ventilation, following the example of teaching activity.”
Sixth wave
Although the epidemiological evolution is positive and Spain touches 80% of the vaccinated population, Del Val points out that it is possible that there will be a sixth wave. If it happens, it would be “with many cases or perhaps with fewer cases, because there will be many asymptomatic. But the important thing, We are going to call it a wave or not depending on the mortality there is. “
“There may be fewer deaths, since in the small wave of spring there was less mortality for each case, in the summer less and in the autumn we expect less “, adds the specialist in the aforementioned program.
Required vaccination
Likewise, the scientist highlights the danger of not getting vaccinated: “To the first people who harm them when they are not vaccinating it is themselves. The personal risk of those who are not vaccinated is as high as it was a year or a year and a half ago. This virus It is going to stay with us and infect us all, sooner or later and several times. “
Third dose
Last Tuesday, the Health Commission approved that some immunosuppressed receive a third dose reinforcement. Regarding the extra puncture that more than 100,000 people will have, Del Val emphasizes that the decision is due to the fact that “There is evidence that too few people, or too few, do not respond to the vaccine. They are unable to find an immune response. “
On the possibility that people who are in nursing homes are also inoculated again, the virologist emphasizes that “they depend on the high exposure they have. In addition, in nursing homes, the mortality rate compared with the incidence they have had, has perhaps been the most complicated stage of the situation of all of us who are already vaccinated. But the data still have to be seen, because they are people in whom the disease progresses slowly. “
