India should brace for third Covid-19 wave by October, say health experts
卫生专家表示,印度应做好准备应对10月到来的第三波疫情
BENGALURU: A third wave of coronavirus infections is likely to hit India by October, and although it is expected that it will be controlled in a better way than the latest outbreak, the pandemic will remain a public health threat for at least another year, according to a Reuters poll of medical experts.
班加罗尔:据路透社调查的医疗专家表示,到10月,印度将面临第三波新冠疫情的袭击,尽管预计第三波疫情将会比目前的情形得到更好控制,但至少在未来一年,这场疫情仍将是公共卫生威胁。
The June 3-17 snap survey of 40 healthcare specialists, doctors, scientists, virologists, epidemiologists and professors from around the world showed a significant pick-up in vaccinations will likely provide some cover to a fresh outbreak.
6月3日至17日,对来自世界各地的40名医疗保健专家、医生、科学家、病毒学家、流行病学家和教授进行的快速调查显示,疫苗接种数量显著增加可能会提供一些保护应对新一波疫情的爆发。
Of those who ventured a prediction, over 85% of respondents, or 21 of 24, said the next wave will hit by October, including three who forecast it in as early as August and 12 in September. The remaining three said between November and February.
在做出预测的受访者中,超过85%(24人中的21人)表示,下一波疫情将在10月份到来,其中3人预测最早将在8月份,12人预测将在9月份。其余三人则表示在11月至2月之间。
But over 70% of experts, or 24 of 34, said any new outbreak would be better controlled compared with the current one, which has been far more devastating - with shortage of vaccines, medicines, oxygen and hospital beds - than the smaller first surge in infections last year.
但超过70%的专家(34人中的24人)表示,新一波的疫情将会比目前的情形更好控制。与去年首波的小规模激增相比,当前疫情的破坏性要大得多,目前疫苗、药品、氧气和医院床位都短缺。

莫迪会拿出勇气向大家通报准备情况吗,还是会把责任推给各邦的首席部长?

By implementing lockdown, making mask mandatory and frequently sanitizing, they create environment for virus to mutate and become deadlier. Covid wave will keep coming unless normalcy returns. This experts don't believe in herd immunity, they blindly listen to WHO
实施封锁、强制戴口罩和频繁消毒,为病毒变异和变得更致命创造了环境。
除非恢复正常,否则疫情将继续袭来。这些专家不相信群体免疫,他们盲目听WHO的

If preventive measures like wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing, not gathering in crowds etc. are followed strictly, there will be no more waves. Keep cinema theaters, malls and places of worship closed for one more year as a precaution while ram up vaccination.
如果严格遵守戴口罩、保持社交距离、洗手、不聚众等预防措施,就不会再爆发新一波疫情。电影院,商场和礼拜场所关闭一年作为预防措施,同时增加疫苗接种。
