In this podcast interview [min 37], Insightview has interviewed Immunology Professor Jan Pravsgaard Christensen from the University of Copenhagen about what we know and what we do not know about the coronavirus. Jan's research has been concentrated on the immune response to viral infections; effector cell migration to areas of infection, effector molecules in virus control, induction and maintenance of T-cellmemory. This is currently being used to develop vaccines against virus and bacteria.
This is a highly informative podcast. In the interview, Jan gives, if possible, answers to questions such as: Is it possible to be infected several times? Is it possible for the virus to "hide" for a long time in humans? Are signs of antibody a guarantee for immunity in the future? Is "natural" herd immunity the solution to the coronavirus crisis? Is Sweden close to achieving herd immunity? Should we use face masks? How large is the share of asymptomatic cases? Is a "second wave" coming? How close are we to a new vaccine? This is a must-listen podcast.
