"Corona - pandemic without end?
Delivering facts with Hendrik Streeck "
- these are the main findings from the
ZDF
broadcast:
Corona pandemic without end (ZDF)?
Facts with Hendrik Streeck - the overview:
Unreported number of coronavirus infections
: According to the Heinsberg study, this was five times higher in the municipality of Gangelt in North Rhine-Westphalia than the reported infections.
Transmission of the coronavirus
: mostly via droplets.
According to Hendrik Streeck, however, “sometimes also via so-called aerosols.
Aerosols are tiny droplets that can stand in the air for a long time and can be carried for meters ”.
Severe courses
: The severity of the viral load, ergo how many viruses you ingest, influences the severity of the Covid 19 disease.
Long-term
damage from
corona
: According to Hendrik Streeck, the
corona
virus can cause severe damage to the lungs, kidneys and nervous system.
Antibodies against the
corona
virus
: After six months, 10 percent of those previously infected with corona no longer had antibodies, after nine months 20 percent no longer had any antibodies.
Herd immunity
: The more people become immune, the slower the coronavirus will spread.
Protection after a corona infection
: The protection provided by the body's immune response after a SARS-CoV-2 infection lasts about six to 24 months.
How does a corona vaccine work
: An mRNA vaccine contains a replica of a small part of the virus genome.
This is injected into a grease wrapper.
The body receives information about the real virus and can thus build antibodies.
After a vaccination against corona, antibodies catch the virus in the event of an infection.
Other dangerous viruses worldwide
: According to Professor Josef Settele from the
Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research,
there are an estimated 1.7 million unknown viruses worldwide.
“About half a million of these are potentially dangerous for humans.
There are certainly some among them that are even more dangerous to humans than Covid-19, ”explains the scientist in the
ZDF
broadcast.
Summary Hendrik Streeck: “Viruses know no borders.
At some point a new virus will come that will pose new challenges for our global community. "
