On January 27, Professor Fang Bangjiang, director of the Institute of Critical Care Medicine at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told the People's Daily Health Client, "The spread of COVID-19 is gradually weakening, not because the virus itself has undergone important changes, but because society has maintained a certain low-level transmission and consolidated the immune barrier. In addition, most people are infected, Forming herd immunity , the virus is somewhat "contagious". The epidemic develops cyclically from peak to trough and then from trough to peak, which is in line with the development pattern of the virus in the United States and Japan. There have been several peaks since the beginning.” Qiao Shubin, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at Beijing Fengtai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, also told the People’s Daily Health Client on January 27 that after the implementation of Article 20, nearly 80% of people across the country were infected with COVID-19, showing a small peak. While there won’t be a peak anytime soon, that doesn’t mean COVID-19 will go away. It is still necessary to take personal protection at present.
