Answering Maria van Kerkhove, who leads the Technical Covid-19, said the variant of the next concern will be more fit, eg. It will more transmit because it must follow what is currently circulating. However, “the big question is whether the future variant will be more or less severe.”
Speaking of the theories that the virus will continue to mutate into a lighter strain, he added, “There is no guarantee. We hope that it is the problem, but there is no guarantee and we cannot use it.”
The next covid iteration can also avoid even more vaccine protection, making existing vaccines even less effective, it shows.
Noting that Covid hasn’t ended, Kerkhove said, “You don’t need to wear a mask forever and you don’t need physical distance forever. But for now, we must continue to do this. We will come out of this, but we are not enough.”
The reason nother we want to stop the spread of the virus is that Covid has a long-term effect, Kerkhove said, “And we have not fully understood post-covid conditions or what is long covid”
He further showed that pre-omicron there was an estimate that 1 in 10 patients suffered a long covid. And we don’t understand whether Omicron will change it.
