html On January 27, Professor Fang Bangjiang, director of the Institute of Critical Care Medicine at Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine, told the People's Daily Health Client, "The spread of the new coronavirus is gradually weakening, not because the virus itself has undergone important changes, but because society has maintained a certain low-level spread, which has consolidated the immune barrier. In addition, the vast majority of people have been infected, forming a herd immunity, and the virus can no longer be transmitted.""The epidemic develops cyclically from peak to trough, and then from trough to peak. This is in line with the law of virus development. The United States and Japan have experienced several peaks since the COVID-19 epidemic." Director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Fengtai District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Beijing Ren Qiao Shubin also told the People's Daily Health Client on January 27 that after the implementation of the 20 measures, nearly 80% of people across the country have been infected with the new coronavirus, showing a small peak. Although there will not be another peak in the short term, it does not mean that the new coronavirus will disappear. Under the current circumstances, personal protection is still necessary.
