The RTL KlubMiklós Rusvai said that it is worth noting that the delta plus variant has appeared, which shows a further change compared to the delta variant, which was already observed in the South African variant. Its presence has already been proven in many countries in Europe, although not yet in Hungary.
Its infectivity is thought to be the same as that of the original delta variant but is more resistant to “certain treatments”, especially monoclonal antibody treatments, mediated by treatments and vaccines, at least in the non-vaccinated population. Vaccination against any variant is the most effective protection – underlined Miklós Rusvai.
In Hungary, the weather plays into our hands, the high inoculation is also favorable, but it is worth paying attention to the wastewater data, whether the appearance of mass events and the delta and delta plus variants does not bring an unfavorable turn.
The virus researcher told ATV about the abolition of mandatory mask use, everyone in the remaining two to three months should enjoy masklessness, as we can start all over again in the fall. He thinks this will be over in about two or three years.
After that, the coronavirus can be like an influenza pandemic every year, and the majority of the body will accept the presence of the virus in two to three years, get used to it, and will not need to be vaccinated every year. However, the applicability of the third vaccine is being studied, Rusvai said risk groups would need it.
