(Beijing Comprehensive News) Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, predicts that the second wave of epidemic in China's crown disease will occur at the end of June, and about 65 million crown disease infection may occur every week.
Comprehensive Beijing Commercial Daily and Bloomberg reported that Zhong Nanshan said at the Biomedical and Health Sub -Forum of the 2023 Greater Bay Area Science Forum that based on the prediction of the SEIRS model, the second round of the Chinese epidemic was peak in mid -April, and there was one of the end of May.Small peaks, the number of peak infections is about 40 million per week, and the peak of this round of epidemic is expected to occur at the end of June.
At the peak of the second round of epidemic, this prediction of 65 million infected people per week shows that China's second round of epidemic is milder than the first round of epidemic.At the end of last year from China to January this year, about 37 million people were infected with crown disease every day.
China is also preparing to launch new vaccines for XBB mutations.Zhong Nanshan said that it is very important to develop vaccines that have better protection capabilities for XBB. At present, there are two types of vaccines for XBB in China. Three or four can be approved soon.
Zhong Nanshan said that researching more effective vaccines, "We can walk in front of the world."
According to the Science and Technology Daily, Xie Xiaoliang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out at an academic conference last Thursday (May 18) that from Beijing as an example, from the statistical data of the current epidemic, the trend chart of this round of epidemic is eased.There is no probability that there will be an epidemic situation at the beginning of this year.
But he also emphasized that from the perspective of international data, the mutation of coronary virus can cause multiple rounds of infection peaks, about five months, so scientific research still needs to be prepared for the peak of the epidemic that may arrive this winter.
