"There is a trend-like improvement" in the epidemiological data published in Hungary in recent days about the coronavirus, and there is indeed a good chance that we are past the peak of the third wave, emphasized Dr. Miklós Rusvai to RTL Klub.
According to the virus researcher, the rising phase of the epidemic curve has clearly been broken, but this does not mean that a significant decline can be expected immediately. In recent days, the daily number of new infection cases, those treated in hospital, those on ventilators and those who have died, have started to decrease, and our county overview also showed that the intensity of the epidemic is definitely decreasing in some of our counties, the first signs of this are showing in most counties and only there is a sharp acceleration in two counties.
All unfavorable statistical data will decrease continuously, perhaps the number of dead is the slowest and the lowest, but at the same time I expect a favorable trend, said Rusvai. He added: "there may be pauses in this decrease", for example, the epidemiological data may deteriorate in two weeks due to Easter, but according to him, this will not reverse the trends that seem favorable now.
Dr. Gábor Ternák, professor of infectology at the University of Pécs, made a similar statement in the Hír TV newscast According to him, we can achieve herd immunity even by the middle of April. This happens when at least 60 percent of the population is protected, either because they received the vaccine or because they were infected.
