The new wave of the coronavirus pandemic will be the most severe for Russians. This is the conclusion reached by the chief physician of the Leader-Medicine medical center, pediatrician-infectious disease specialist Yevgeny Timakov, whose words are quoted by TASS…
According to the doctor, the situation will stabilize only by mid-September. Timakov suggests that the next waves will be easier to tolerate, as Russians will be less likely to get sick with severe covid.
“The fourth or fifth wave, which will be in any case, we will most likely survive in a more or less, probably, mild form. There will be fewer severe cases. There will be many sick people, but in severe cases there will be fewer and fewer with each wave, ”the doctor said.
The infectious disease specialist believes that the third wave, which began in June and continues to this day, will stretch for six months. He believes that the decline in the number of cases will begin in November. “In December we will see a stable and equal number of [заболевших]probably like that winter. In any case, it will be higher, but it will be stable and the same throughout the winter until spring. “
Earlier, Alexei Agranovsky, professor of the Department of Virology, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, explained why the increase in morbidity and mortality from coronavirus observed in Russia cannot be called the fourth wave. According to him, since the summer, there has been an increase in the number of infected and deaths from the virus in the country, so this term is not applicable here.
