Covid-19 can become endemic, and here are a few ways we can avoid contracting it.
The country has battled two waves of Covid-19 so far and the next question is “Will there be a third wave of Corona in India?” More importantly, are we missing the signs of the coronavirus third wave? This seems to be a simple question, but the answers are complicated. There are many speculations about the occurrence of the third wave. Few portray that the third wave has already begun in India, and it will peak in another month or two. Epidemiologists have speculated that the third wave may not be that severe, and that depends on how people behave and how many strong variants are produced.
The third wave of Corona will happen but how badly it will affect us mostly depends on us. The development of variants will depend on the infectivity rate. The more the virus replicates, the higher are the chances for the emergence of variants. India is already seeing a surge in cases from the last one week, which is 40,000 per day, and this can go up to 1 lakh cases per day. As lockdown restrictions have been lifted, there is a surge in cases, which can lead to a third wave. Everyone should have an equal responsibility to prevent a third wave from hitting us badly.
