The new coronavirus emerging from Wuhan, China in December has infected nearly 81,191 people, killing 2,768, SIA reports quoting TRT WORLD.
Concern is on the rise as infections are beginning to rise rapidly outside of China, but in an new, chilling prognosis, one scientist estimates that 40-70 per cent of the world will come to be infected by the coronavirus.
“I think the likely outcome is that it will ultimately not be containable,” says Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch in an interview with the Atlantic.
The scientist predicts that throughout the year nearly 40-70 per cent of people around the world will be infected. He clarifies however, that it doesn’t mean they will all have severe illness. “It could be asymptomatic,” he says. “It’s likely that many will have mild disease.”
