Coronavirus, epidemiologist: 'The virus is losing power due to the lockdown effect'

The SarsCov2 virus is losing power "mainly due to the lockdown, the social distancing and the use of protective devices" , and perhaps also due to the transitory mutations, which maybe they don't need but on which the selection acts, making it less contagious. To do that which holds us to define for now only "a hypothesis to be proved" is Massimo Ciccozzi, an epidemiologist at the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome , who spoke during a hearing at the Senate Health Commission.
    "What is being done in the models developed by various groups of researchers these days are all hypotheses, because there is no evidence of pathogenicity in the laboratory on cells and viruses," specifies ANSA Ciccozzi. Having said that, "one fact we are experiencing is thatthe virus is losing power first of all as a result of the lockdown , and then, perhaps, because it changes. These are transitory mutations, which last a few weeks and then perhaps disappear, and which they do not need . But these are mutations on which evolution can act, making the virus less contagious. "That the virus is losing strength is seen, according to Ciccozzi," from the fact that its circulation has decreased, and this could be the effect of these mutations. But I repeat, this is also a hypothesis that must be demonstrated ".
