Using these results alongside a complementary SIR model, we find that one-third of the Indian population could eventually be infected by COVID-19, and that a complete recovery from COVID-19 will happen only after an estimated 450 days from January 2020.
The cases of COVID-19 will continue to rise and the virus will be sustainable for future infections.
This is consistent with the endemic nature of the disease in the country.
If the prevalence stays as reported here, the population will definitely need COVID-19 vaccines when they become available.

Will endemic coronavirus exposure affect SARS-CoV-2 vaccination papers from 2020?5 answersEndemic coronavirus exposure can influence the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Studies have shown that individuals with pre-existing immunity to endemic coronaviruses (eCOVIDs) have cross-reactive immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, which may contribute to protection against COVID-19. Specifically, prior exposure to HCoV-OC43 has been found to prime neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 and promote S2-targeting antibody responses. However, it has been observed that vaccination with a stabilized spike mRNA vaccine does not robustly boost cross-reactive antibodies, suggesting differences in antigenicity and immunogenicity. Additionally, T-cell cross-reactivity from previous HCoV infections enhances the T-cell response after vaccination, but does not increase SARS-CoV-2-specific memory B-cell levels in the absence of previous infection. Overall, the level of specific memory B-cells appears to play a role in determining the time to breakthrough infections, regardless of the presence of T-cell cross-reactivity.
How has COVID-19 impacted the incidence of tuberculosis?5 answersThe impact of COVID-19 on the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has been observed globally. During the COVID-19 era, there was a significant reduction in TB incidence, with a decrease in the number of new TB cases detected in consecutive years. This reduction in TB incidence was attributed to factors such as lockdown measures, which induced a reduction in TB notification rates. However, it is important to note that the relationship between TB and COVID-19 is still not fully understood. While the impact of COVID-19 on TB varies in different regions, some areas experienced a rebound in TB incidence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has had both positive and negative effects on TB incidence, highlighting the need for continued efforts to control and prevent TB in the post-COVID-19 era.
