“End of corona pandemic near”
The corona pandemic is beyond its peak and poses no threat to most people. That's what an Israeli Nobel Prize laureate said. Biophysician Michael Oh, Levitt, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013, predicted earlier that the spread of the virus in China would decline in February. That prophecy turned out to be true!
End of the pandemic near
In an interview with the newspaper, he said that people are afraid because they hear that new cases are emerging every day.
“But fewer and fewer people are getting infected in China, which means that the pandemic is coming to an end,” he said.
Oh, Levittestimates that the virus will have disappeared by the end of March.
It's impossible
He pointed out that the models are based on exponential growth, so that people infected with the virus continue to infect others.That is impossible because you do not meet new people every day. “For example, you can meet new people in public transport, but after some time most passengers on the train or bus will be infected or immune,” he said. In Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, the entire population was at risk of becoming infected. In the end, only three percent of the population became infected.
