While the United States is hoping that it has already reached the Peak of the Coronavirus and is looking forward to flattening the curve, a new study from Minnesota-based Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) has said that COVID-19 virus may well last 18 to 24 months.
The report titled “The future of the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned from pandemic influenza”, warns the authorities and the states to plan for the worst-case scenario (which involves a large second peak of cases in the fall of 2020), including no vaccine availability or herd immunity.
The report urged government agencies and healthcare delivery organizations to develop strategies to ensure adequate protection for healthcare workers. This news has come at the time when more than a dozen states in the US eased their Coronavirus Lockdowns.
The United States already registered around 1.2 Million cases with more than 65,000 deaths.
