/View.info/ There will be a fifth wave of covid, but it is impossible to say when. As long as there are people who don’t have immunity because they haven’t been vaccinated and haven’t gotten sick, the coronavirus will spread. This is the opinion of virologist Prof. Radostina Alexandrova. In the morning block of Nova TV, she stated that this virus shows how aggressive it is and is persistently looking for ways to spread through many options.
The new variant, which comes from countries in southern Africa, contains a very large number of mutations – more than 50. It has changed a lot, there are suggestions that it is transmitted more easily and is more contagious. It affects more young people according to observations. According to the World Health Organization, the risk of re-infection is higher.
There are reasons to believe that it is more dangerous because it manages to escape the immune response, but more research and laboratory confirmations are needed, explained Prof. Alexandrova. The companies that make the vaccines are starting to research how resistant it is to their preparations.
It is not yet known exactly what the new mutations are, but it is possible that the many mutations will disable the virus, according to Prof. Alexandrova.
