It is at this moment that the second wave of coronavirus will strike, the doctor warns

Yale infectious infectious disease warned that we could be weeks of another epidemic.


The Pandemic of Covid-19 brought ravages about the health and richness of our country. Due to shelter orders instead across America, the unemployment rate has risen climbed and we are currently in full economic recession. In the hope of repairing the financial damage as quickly as possible, many states began to reopen earlier than health officials would have hoped. While people across the country unfold towards beaches, restaurants, parks, shopping centers and gymnasiums, the number of infections slowly starts to pick up a speed again - somethingOnyema Ogbuagu, MDAn infectious infectious disease of Yale Medicine and Associate Professor of Medicine in Yale School of Medicine, are extremely concerned.

"Weeks, maybe months ...."

According to Dr. Ogbuagu, while it is difficult to predict some that we will live a second wave or a summit of the virus, it will probably be earlier than you think. "With the reopening of more states, recent ladder events, even when masks have been used but the physical distancing was more difficult to follow, all wearing another resurgence soon," he explains toEat this, not that! Health. This could happen as soon as in the coming weeks or possibly months, "given the delay period between infection, the development of subsequent symptoms and hospital rates, which is the most" visible "of Community incidence. Generalized, "he adds, pointing towards the recent increased incidence of COVID 19 in more than a dozen states supporting these concerns.

Then there is the disadvantage of the cold season and the flu. "With the next fall and winter seasons and our propensity to look for and group together inland - a period that is generally associated with resurgence of respiratory viral disease - we can be important for a few more difficult months to come, "continues Dr. Ogbuagu.

"A summit can be forward"

Depending on the epidemic curve of a state, this will result in a peak for some and a completely new wave for others. "For States like New York who already have a strong prevalence of the COVID community (up to 40% in some studies), they will probably be a wave, but for other states where it has been a limited disease activity Until recently, a summit can be before, "he explains.

An interesting thing that will contribute to these second waves or peaks to do with the "double-edged" sword of physical distancing, says Dr. Ogbuagu. "Although it is very effective to protect against the spread of personal illnesses to the person, he leaves those people who have not been exposed to the virus and are therefore not immune, vulnerable to infection if they are never Presentations in the future, as with 'reopening states, "he says.

What can be done to prevent or minimize these inevitable resurgences of the virus?

  • Continue to adhere to mask consumption ("even if the data is limited to its effectiveness," he says)
  • physical distancing
  • hand hygiene
  • Environmental cleaning
  • and disinfection.

In addition, "ramping tests to identify symptomatic and asymptomatic people with COVID and asymptomatic contract tracing measures and isolation measures (including quarantine for those who do not need to be hospitalized) would be essential to prevent future waves or peaks ".
