Covid, Galli: “Endemic virus is not always better”

“Someone hopes that Sars-CoV-2 will become endemic, thinking that in this way it becomes not dangerous, that it ‘calms’. As in history, smallpox and polio teach, it does not always happen like this. And those who are happy to live where malaria are endemic, dengue or African trypanosomiasis? “. This is the reflection entrusted to Twitter by Massimo Galli, former director of the infectious diseases department of the Sacco hospital in Milan, in this phase of the Covid-19 epidemic, defined by many as the beginning of the end of the pandemic.
