COVID-19 May Disappear Naturally – British Physician

Pat Stevens/

A British physician and former director at the World Health Organisation, Prof Karol Sikora, says there is a “real chance” that COVID-19 “will burn out naturally before any vaccine is developed”.

Sikora, made this known via his Twitter handle, @ProfKarolSikora, today,

He said, “There is a real chance that the virus will burn out naturally before any vaccine is developed.

“We are seeing a roughly similar pattern everywhere – I suspect we have more immunity than estimated.

“We need to keep slowing the virus, but it could be petering out by itself.”

He, however, cautioned that citizens must continue to follow all precautions prescribed by health experts to curb the spread of the pandemic.

“It is my opinion that this is a feasible scenario.

“Nobody is claiming to know what will happen for sure – I believe in an unknown situation this is a possibility.

“We need to continue to keep our distance and hope the numbers continue to improve,” he said.

COVID-19 has infected over four million people and killed more than 300,000 globally, according to WHO.
