Covid-19 will become ‘just a common cold’, says professor on GMB
Covid-19 “is almost certainly” going to be “just the common cold” in the future, according to a university professor. Paul Hunter, a professor of health protection at the University of East Anglia, told Good Morning Britain on Thursday that a quarter of the population get infected by seasonal coronaviruses every year.
He said: “That’s about 40-45,000 people a day on average, but we don’t hear anything about them, because [...] the vast majority of cases, they are asymptomatic, or at worst, just the common cold, and that’s the way that Covid is almost certainly going to be going.”
