Virologists: the epidemic will end thanks to the “omicron”

Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, professor and chief researcher of the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Petr Chumakov, made predictions about the situation with the epidemic against the background of the spread of the Omicron strain.

The specialist answered the question of whether the epidemic will end due to this type of COVID-19 “Yes, I think it is the ninth column. We can say the peak “

“We need to look at the dynamics that are now in Europe,” Chumakov said. “In England, the infection rate has already decreased. It’s been about a month. This means that we can extrapolate that for two months we will continue in a difficult situation.”

Virologist and academic at the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Felix Ershoff has described the COVID-19 Omicron strain as a possible signal to end the pandemic.

According to academic Felix Ershoff, the Omicron COVID-19 strain may be a natural vaccine against other, more dangerous strains making it a possible signal to end the pandemic.

Ershoff asserts that this effect is related to the interfering characteristic of viruses. Thus, the mutant strain suppresses the previous variants with the help of a system of interferon proteins and pushes them out.
