A scientist from BHU has said, "the third wave of coronavirus would be less severe". Read more to know the details.
A senior scientist from the zoology department of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Professor Gyaneshwer Chaubey said, "the third wave of coronavirus would be less severe and deadly, especially for the vaccinated group of people, those who have been cured of the virus and the children."
Further he added, "people who have been vaccinated and cured of Covid-19 would fall under the protected group during the third wave. The wave would likely hit after, at least, three months, but the ongoing coronavirus vaccination will boost people’s immunity and help them resist the wave."
Additionally, he said, "As the levels of antibodies drop every three months, the chances of the third wave are likely. In this sense, if the level of antibodies falls in the next three months, then a third wave can come. But the ongoing vaccination campaign will help in the fight against the virus. If our immunity is more than 70%, the effect of Covid in that group will be less, and gradually, its frequency will start decreasing."
He aslo stated, "From time to time, corona will raise its head but it will eventually decrease. Once the levels of antibodies decrease, the chances of catching Covid will increase. Even so, for those in the protected group, the death rate is very low. Even if our entire population gets infected with coronavirus and we keep the mortality rate below 0.1 or even 1 percent, then we will win this war."
