American government expert warning: Coronavirus can return more powerful for the second time

The U.S. government's leading expert on infectious diseases warned that the current explosion of coronary could become cyclical and return more powerful for the second time unless sufficient preparations are made to prevent it.

He made comments Wednesday during a press conference at the White House.

Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that evidence that the virus can become cyclical and return to the season is emerging in the southern hemisphere.

Will this turn into perhaps a cyclical, seasonal thing? I've always expressed my opinion that this is most likely to happen. Because we're beginning to see in South Africa and southern hemisphere countries, showing cases of coronarys, cases that are emerging as these areas pass through their winter season,” said immunologist.

Dr Fauci said that the possibility of restoring the virus makes it more important than ever for researchers to continue working on a new vaccine to be prepared:

What does that mean for us? This stresses the need to do what we're doing in developing a vaccine, testing it fast to get it ready for the next cycle. In addition, have a list of drugs that have shown themselves to be effective and secure”.

For most people, the new coronary causes mild symptoms, such as fever and coughing, that heal for two to three weeks.

In some, especially the elderly and people with other health problems, it can cause more serious diseases, such as pneumonia and death.

The new Coronavirus continues to spread, bringing overload to health care systems worldwide. / VOA
