Pulmonologist compares Covid-19 and Spanish flu

Dr. Alexander Simidchiev

It is much more difficult to eradicate the pandemic when the global spread of the novel coronavirus is so big, said for BNT pulmonologist Dr. Alexander Simidchiev referring to the so-called Spanish flu, which circulated for 4 years. In his view, the coronavirus morbidity depends on factors such as the environment, the human behavior and the transmissibility of certain coronavirus strains. 

According to immunologist Professor Andrey Chorbanov, Covid-19 will disappear, if 70% of the population receives vaccines and the novel coronavirus infects 70% of the world’s population.  

The restrictive measures can stop the growth of the pandemic process and vaccines can reduce its frequency, added Dr. Alexander Simidchiev.
