Will Coronavirus Return in the Fall?

Published on

The world is still struggling with the novel coronavirus, and the big question is when it will all end. But there is another question that has been bothering people, and it’s: Will coronavirus return in the fall?

Many countries in the world, including the U.S., are trying to move ahead and make plans on reopening their economics and saving what can be saved. But people are scared because of the potential second wave of COVID-19.

The director of the CDC said that the second wave will most definitely happen and that it will be more severe than this one. He stated that the reason for that is the fact that it will probably coincide with the start of the regular flu season.

He tried to explain that there will be a flu epidemic and coronavirus epidemic at the same time.

How will it look if the coronavirus returns in the fall?

It’s not going to be easy. If there are two simultaneous respiratory outbreaks, the health-care system will suffer. The current epidemic overwhelmed hospitals and revealed that there is a shortage of ventilators, protective equipment for health workers and that there is a gaping shortage in test kits. So if there are two respiratory outbreaks at the same time, it’s not going to be easy.

Experts are still researching, and they can only say that it’s too early to know if this virus is seasonal or not. The most important thing now is for the federal and state officials to prepare for the upcoming months, as best as they can. Another thing they need to do is to scale up their ability to test people and identify everyone who interacted with the infected so that a more massive outbreak can be prevented.

Social distancing is still essential

Redfield stated that social distancing is critical and that it will be necessary even when the first wave of the virus finishes.

U.S. health official will have a difficult job in the upcoming months, especially in the summer months, to persuade Americans to take care of themselves and other, respect social distancing and think about fall and the flu season, and get flu shots.

If a person gets a flu shot, it allows someone else who has coronavirus to get a hospital bed.

Redfield also said that we were lucky that the outbreak of coronavirus happened just as the flu season has finished, and if the two outbreaks peaked at the same time, it could be challenging in terms of U.S. health capacity.

There were similar scenarios in the past, of viruses returning in fall

The outbreak of SARS finished when summer happened, and the virus didn’t survive the summer, and these two viruses are similar. The novel coronavirus may fade in the summer months, but it may return in the fall.

It has to be mentioned that during the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, there was the first wave of cases in the spring in the United States, just like now. And it was followed by a second wave in the fall and winter, during the flu season, and that second wave was much more substantial and challenging.

Superbowl Winner Treats Coronavirus Patients

He took off his helmet, and he put it away until the arrival of the better days as he decided to dedicate himself to the fight with the coronavirus on the frontlines.

They call him the Bruce Wayne of the NFL – except, instead of the superhero mask and cape, he puts on a white coat and a stethoscope, and then he becomes a hero whose knowledge, courage and professionalism are being exceptionally valued in the days when the world faces a deadly threat.

His name is Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff, and he is very unique – This Canadian is currently the only NFL player with a University Degree in Medicine. He is most likely the only person who is both a doctor and a professional sports player in the world.

He comes from a family of doctors, and while dedicating his life to studying and science, his career is marked only with success – the biggest one yet was just a few months ago when the Kansas City Chiefs won the Superbowl. Afterward, there was time for celebration and relaxation for the team – but it was short-lived. That’s when Duvernay-Tardiff joined the frontlines in the fight for humanity.

Laurent never gave up on his dreams despite constantly being pulled from both sides – he knew that it was a highly difficult path, but one that would ultimately pay off. Studying medicine while at the same time being completely dedicated to his sports career, not giving up for a second is something only the most devoted and persistent people can do – the best of the best.

His dream, after 8 years of studying, became reality when he achieved his second biggest life goal – Duvernay-Tardiff graduated in Medicine in 2018 and became a surgeon of the McGill Medical University in Canada. This is the main reason why the Kansas City coach Andy Reid had an infinite understanding of his player’s other responsibilities and gave him full freedom, which was something that he would most likely not get if he had had a different coach.

Only a year before he got his academic title, Laurent got the contract of a lifetime with the Chiefs – a 5-year partnership worth 42 million dollars, with another 10 million in bonuses.

Duvernay-Tardiff claims that he had confidence that he could play in the NFL. When you look at the stats of the typical length of one’s career, on top of studying medicine, Laurent says that it was uncertain but ultimately everything came together. He says that coach Reid is the person that made it all possible because he was understanding and gave him a chance to balance studying and a professional career. Before the age of 30, Laurent achieved something unattainable even in two lifetimes for most people.

He has been a member of the Chiefs from 2014, and it’s interesting to note that in the “rookie” season he never even played for the team, but afterward he showed that he was a worthy player who should be counted on. That’s when he became the irreplaceable asset of the Chiefs and one of the best of the league on his position. Not only is he the best, but he is also the NFL Doctor.

She wrote the caption by saying “We’re so excited to join the ALL IN challenge to help keep people fed and healthy during this time.” The fans who donate will have a special place in the audience for the filming of FRIENDS reunion. This offer is something the fans have been dreaming about ever since the show ended, and now they have the opportunity to witness the reunion in person. On the top of that, all you have to do is to be a part of the noble initiative like this, and help someone with the donation.

At the end of her caption, Aniston reminded everyone how important to keep in touch with the loved ones is. She wrote “Can’t wait to meet and hug you guys when this is all over. Until then, keep Facetiming, calling, DMing, and texting your friends and family. We gotta stay connected.” Indeed, the psychologists advise to talk to the loved ones during the self-isolation, in order to avoid the possible feeling of loneliness. Thanks to the technology, it is a lot easier to see each other, considering the fact that we have the opportunity to see each other via video-call.

The news was also shared by her co-stars via Instagram.
