Van Ranst sees corona evolving into seasonal illness: “Covid will eventually come close to flu”

“The coronavirus is starting to look like something we know, the flu,” said virologist Marc Van Ranst in HLN LIVE yesterday. The numbers of hospital admissions, patients in intensive care and deaths continue to fall. “We have to mentally adjust to the fact that this will be something that comes close to what the flu can give,” said Van Ranst. However, he emphasizes that, given the major impact that the high number of infections can have on social functioning, we are still in a dark red crisis situation and it is too early to take measures.
