A Johns Hopkins professor and surgeon says the coronavirus had ‘mostly’ disappeared by April.
Marty Makary, who teaches at the University’s School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday that daily infections have decreased by 77 percent since January.

“There is reason to think the country is rushing to an extremely low level of infection,” Makary wrote. “Since more people are infected, most of whom have mild or no symptoms, there are fewer Americans who can be infected. On the current trajectory, I expect COVID to mostly disappear in April, which will enable Americans to lead normal lives. to resume. “

Vaccinations and the large number of people already infected in the US – more than 28 million – could contribute to herd immunity in the spring, Makary said.
The White House and other experts were not yet so optimistic, and some said the immunity of herds might only be achieved later in the year.
Herd immunity occurs when enough people become immune to a virus, which terminates its spread. Makary also said it would protect against the spread of new strains of the coronavirus.

“Once the chain of virus transmission is broken in multiple places, it’s harder to spread – and that includes the new strains,” he said.
