MOSCOW, may 10 — RIA Novosti. In 2020, no one region will fail to achieve herd immunity to coronavirus and all allegations of its existence will cause a disaster in the health system, said scientists of the Department of epidemiology, school of public health Johns Hopkins in Bloomberg.
Such findings are made on the basis of statistics of infection by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. They noticed that no country in the proportion did not exceed two-four per cent, while for the generation of herd immunity required to 70% of the population had chickenpox or been vaccinated.
Scientists have cited the example of the United States. Currently in the country infected with about 1.25 million people, to achieve collective immunity without vaccination is necessary not less than 200 million cases with a population of 328 million people. In this case we can already say that from the coronavirus killed every five hundredth inhabitant new York.
in addition, epidemiologists urged to abandon attempts to deliberately become infected with coronavirus for immunity. They recalled that 80 years was the popular “chicken pox party”, the purpose of which was infected by chickenpox, and urged not to make the same party to get sick COVID-19.
the Scientists stressed that from the coronavirus in the United States die every day to two thousand people, while chicken pox has claimed more than 150 lives a year.
the Researchers said that if the coronavirus continues to spread in the United States at the same rate, and 25 thousand new infections a day, then to achieve herd immunity without the vaccine will only be in 2021. And it will cost the lives of more than 500 thousands of Americans.
At the beginning of the pandemic coronavirus authorities in some countries opposed to hard constraints, as was planning to create herd immunity. This approach, in particular, adhered to the Kingdom. The authorities decided to isolate people from the risk group, however, it has not justified itself, and in the second half of March in Britain introduced wide restrictive measures.
Pandemic coronavirus has spread to almost the whole world. The who reported more than 3.8 million are infected, of which about 265 thousand died and over a million have been cured. Leaders in the number of infected and the victims are United States, Spain, Italy.
today in the United States there are about 1.25 million cases of infection with coronavirus, of which more than 75 thousand ended with the death of the patient.
