As India battles the second wave of the Covid-19, some experts have already raised the possibility of a third wave of the pandemic. Several countries have already witnessed the fourth wave of Covid-19. But as India struggles to contain the deadly second wave, when is the inevitable third wave projected to hit the country?
Mostly in the winter, sometime in the end of November or early December (this year). Ensuring that all the vulnerable are vaccinated before the festive season of Diwali is important to save as many lives," said Dr Giridhar Babu, epidemiologist and professor at the Indian Institute of Public Health in Bengaluru, and a member and advisor to the National Covid-19 Task Force in Karnataka. "The next wave will affect mostly younger age groups," he warned
THIRD WAVE TO AFFECT CHILDREN MORE THAN ADULTS:
Reports now suggest that children could be at a higher risk of getting infected in the third wave of Covid-19. It is plausible, since most adults will have received at least one shot of the jab by the time we see the third wave hit India. We still don't have a Covid-19 vaccine for children .
The thing here need to understand is that when the first wave of covid-19 came the virus would kill the lungs in 10 days.
In the second wave,this time period is reduced to 5 to 7 days.
And it is being said diet in the third wave, it can be even 3 days.
Here is what the government said about the various waves of the pandemic:
> The first wave halted as a combination of a standing level of immunity in the population and cautionary steps.
> The second wave started because new opportunities for the spread of the infection come up. When the guard drops, the immunity is sometimes not enough to stop the infection from spreading.
> Many people get infected until a new threshold of immunity is reached.
> Such a second wave is typically smaller than the first wave. Such a second wave was expected. However, multiple parameters can change in small amounts and add up to a second wave which is much larger than the first wave.
> Such a larger second wave with such ferocity was not predicted.
