Corona crisis: “Maybe we will avoid a second shutdown” – virologist Christian Drosten

Update from May 29, 7:37 a.m.: The virologist Christian Drosten* from the Berlin Charité believes that there is a chance that you can get safely in autumn and winter without vaccination. “Without a deadly new second wave,” Drosten said Thursday in the NDR podcast. For this, it is necessary to readjust the current measures. According to the Japanese model, one should aim strongly at the early detection of so-called Super spreading events: Cases in which an infected person infects an above-average number of other people.

Contact persons should then without prior diagnosis as infected be considered and isolated in order further infections to prevent. For example, if an infection shows up with a teacher, look at the classes he taught last – these students would have to stay at home for a week or two, but you didn’t have to close the whole school, said Drosten. Japan’s infection curve “crawls” downwards, but the strategy was not communicated aggressively there for a long time.

Drosten also stressed that many of the measures that are already in place in Germany are possible Super spreading events prevented. It is now assumed that the majority of those infected infect very few or no other people.

“Perhaps we will miss a second shutdown,” the scientist also said mirror. There is now a “theoretical possibility” that the Germans “get through without a second wave”. Since science knows more about the virus, it is easier to control the infection process. Above all, a few so-called super spreaders would pass it on to many people.

The Quarantine time could, according to virologist Drosten for a week be shortened. “The incubation period and the time in which you are contagious are all much shorter than initially thought,” Drosten told the mirror.
