Now that we have more than two years in thePandemic of Covid, most of us have the impression that we have fierce feet against the virus we did in March 2020. For one thing, we learned so much how much Covid spreads and what we can do forkeep safe. But we also got access to vaccines and boosters, which may not pay the opportunity to completely contract Covid, but is still very effective in preventing the results. At the same time, the pandemic evolves quickly, and it's not time to let these guards still completely. In fact, there are things that even the most coviding prudent Americans may not understand completely.

In a comparison of April 6th on BloombergBALANCE OF POWERS Podcast, Top House Blanc Advisor CovidAnthony Fauci, MD, spoke with the hostDavid Westin on the powerstate of the pandemic And what to prepare for the next. Fauci started by talking about the issue of "basic immunity", which refers to the large number of people with a certain protection against Covid of vaccination or earlier infection and what it means for the possibility of Another push.

Unfortunately, Fauci explained, there is so much that this immunity can do - because it is not sustainable. "One of the things that people need to understand is that [Covid] Immunity Wanses, so it's not like measles," he told Westin. "If you measure someone and take a look at their immunity to measles, it lasts a life. Immunity with Covid ... is something that goes over a period of several months."

This is particularly important to consider as we are facing the rise of theBa.2 Omicron Subvariant, that Fauci noted in hisBALANCE OF POWERS The interview already represents 75% of the cases at the US.S. And is even more infectious than the already very contagious variant of BA.1 Omicron. Many virus experts and health leaders believe that the country's positive trajectory will soon be thwarted, with the former Commissioner for the Administration of Food and Drugs (FDA)Scott Gottlieb, MD, saying in an interview of April 5 CNBC that Ba.2 will provoke a "national wave" inNew COVID cases.

Fauci told Westin-as he said several times in recent weeks - that "over the next two weeks, we will see a rise in business." What is the gravity of this rise remains "difficult to predict". The basic immunity of vaccination and previous infection entered into play, ideally preventing another push in cases of increasing hospitalizations and deaths. But we do not know yet how sustainable protection.

People vaccinated - and those who recovered from a Covid infection could still fall sick at the next increase. On a larger scale, the link immunity makes it difficult to say how to get the kind offlock of immunity This would prevent the worst results. The immunity of the flock refers to the level of immunity in a community that maintains a propagation virus. "The wild card in this case is to be able to predict exactly what level of immunity over time will present us with great thrust or surge associated with hostimizations," said Fuci Westin.

In theBALANCE OF POWERS Maintenance, Fauci said a "very high percentage of the population" was vaccinated and / or infected with COVID, with up to 90% of Americans with a certain level of virus immunity. But because of the degradation of immunity, the percentage of Americans who currently have ahigh The level of protection is almost certainly much smaller.

In an article of 31 March for Oxford AcademaInfectious Disease Journal, Fauci and his colleagues from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) wrote that "classic" immunity against Covid is "is almost certainly aaimless goal. "This means that all Americans - including those that are fully vaccinated and stimulated - will learn to live with the virus in the form of numbers and flows.

Waning Covid Immunity does not mean that people should panic on BA.2 business rise in the United States as notes of Yale medicine, "studies have shown that fully vaccinated people and boosters have boosters havestrong protection against the hospitalization of BA.1 and BA.2 "and an article of February 25Nature concluded that those who have been infected by the original Omicron variant have substantiallyProtection against subcap And are unlikely to become sick of BA.2.

The current concern is more to look to the future. When Westin-who has been boosted and had an OMICRON-asked infection to Fauci if he needed another booster, inherit assured him that his protection against the virus should be strong enough to be "very unlikely", He would need another shot "for the immediate future". "With regard to autumn, however, Fauci said that we needed to think of" all of us, who will have a subsequent immunity ".

"I have not been infected, but I have been vaccinated and stimulated, and certainly over a period of several months, it is very likely that my immune projection would reduce to the point of not needing another booster," did he declare.
