The Pandemic Expert Jose Felix Hoyo has given a date to really know if the omicron variant of the coronavirus is more dangerous or not than its predecessors and the original Wuhan virus.
“We have a week or ten days to know if omicron is so dangerous”, has assured Hoyo in an interview with laSexta Noticias.
“Within a week or ten days we will see what happened to the patients who were sick“Hoyo stressed. This is so because, as the waves of COVID-19 have worked, the first effects are felt in primary care, although hospitalizations, ICU admissions and, finally, deaths occur later.
“In 1918 we were lucky with the Spanish flu because mutated into a highly contagious and less pathogenic virus, which ended the pandemic, “he exemplified. In this sense, Hoyo lamented that” we have not been able to end the epidemic and that it is the virus that ends. “
However, Hoyo has warned that “we have learned quite little from previous waves” and that if the pandemic ends now, if omicron is the definitive variant, it will be because the virus has killed itself. In any case, he pointed out, there is still a large percentage of the world population unvaccinated and with the possibility of becoming seriously infected.
