This well-known virologist believes that the situation in China is worrying

In addition, he considers that “it will have a cascading effect in the rest of the world”

Luis Enjuanes stands as the leading Spanish expert on COVID-19and as such, he wanted to issue a serious warning with the situation that exists in China with this disease: thousands of daily cases in the main Asian cities of the country, with more than 800,000 confirmed infections in the last 28 days and with almost 800 deaths. Figures that scare and worry this virologist: “it is worrisome and will have a cascading effect on the world“, confirms in an interview with The country.

The problem for this expert is that “more infections always cause more serious cases and more deaths, and implies more risks. Although it is also true that the new variants tend to be more attenuating forms of the virus“. That is, even if the mutations have attenuated the coronavirus, people with previous health problems or who are not vaccinated may face severe forms of the disease.

rinsesFor now, he considers that our society is better prepared than three years ago, so the concern is to prepare the health systems for possible upturns in cases. Thank you for the work of the vaccineswhat “now they are double, they protect us against the first forms of the virus and with the recent ones, such as the new forms of Omicron“.
