Patna: Is there a possibility of the fourth wave at Bihar? When will the pandemic be endemic? These questions are being discussed at this time by health experts and enlightened citizens.
Dr.
Sanjeev Kumar, Nodal Officer Covid-19 in Aiims-Patna, said the fourth wave could reach the country immediately after the number of new cases had begun to decline and people gradually became careless, often ignoring Covid-19 guidelines.
However, the number of infected people still increases in at least five countries in the country and Bihar cannot remain alone if people do not follow Covid norms.
Dr.
Satish Kumar from Nalanda Medical College Hospital (NMCH) said positive cases had begun to decline in the state after January 15 and pandemics are expected to end in a month.
But, someone cannot put the fourth wave.
The new and more dangerous variant, Neocov, recently reported, with the expected mortality of one in every three infected people.
Every time people become relaxed and start attending social events such as marriage and festivals, new waves appear.
In October-November last year, people in the state have become almost cheerful, almost no visualizing the emergence of third waves in December.
Fortunately, even though the omicron variant spreads like a fire, it wasn’t too deadly compared to the Delta variant.
Because most adults have been vaccinated with doses, the level of hospitalization and mortality is quite low compared to the second wave, said Dr.
Satish.
However, note pedal doctors and epidemiologists Dr.
Arun Shah observed that the ongoing pandemic would immediately reach its peak.
In some cities, it has begun to decline.
Pandemic is likely to change “endemic” in March, he said.
He said it was very difficult to predict the fourth wave now.
Even if it happens after some time, it won’t turn off like the second wave.
There is a very weak possibility of the appearance of the new ‘worries’ variant now, he added.
Dr.
Shah said people still need to take a careful approach by ensuring their inoculation with two doses of vaccines along with a booster dose.
“High-risk patients such as elderly with comorbidity and frontline workers must continue to maintain the appropriate behavior of Covid, a doctor added.
‘Carelessness can take us to the 4th Covid’ wave ‘
