On social networks, cybernauts claim that Covid-19 is less dangerous. What about it? Explanations.
Covid-19 contaminations are starting again, but no one seems to be worried about it. What if Covid wasn’t that dangerous? This is what many Internet users are saying publicly. It’s true that the virus kills much less today. For cybernauts, this would be proof that we have created a useless psychosis in 2020. So, pwhy do we die less from covid? Contrary to what one might think, it is not because the variants are less dangerous. The virus is the same as in 2020. The population, however, has changed.
Collective immunity
Today, collective immunity protects against serious forms, in particular thanks to vaccination and contamination. This is a logical development for this kind of virus, after a pandemic. “Population resistance thanks to the immune shield […] will help reduce this pandemic to epidemic peaks in certain countries. The last stage is the endemic phase.explains Philippe Amouyelepidemiologist at Lille University Hospital (North).This phase is similar to what the world experienced with the Spanish flu of 1918 and 1920. There were millions of deaths during the pandemic phase, before achieving collective immunity.
