Should we be concerned about a faster rise in infections? Virologists Marc Van Ranst and Steven Van Gucht explain

But aren’t there mainly infections in young people, who usually do not get very sick from the virus? Currently, it sounds. But that doesn’t mean there is no danger, the two experts warn. “We have to keep a close eye on Spain”, says Van Gucht. “That country is ahead of our curve.” There, too, at first there were mainly infections among the youngsters, it sounds. “But now you also see that the infections trickle down from the younger to the older population. And then you do get more hospitalizations and deaths. That’s what you want to avoid,” emphasizes Van Ranst.
