he third wave is imminent, said an expert. We are heading towards achieving endemicity, said another. There are several such claims and assumptions made by eminent expertsT and doctors. However, the fact of the matter is that nobody has yet been able to fully understand the nature of the virus, which is why many doc- tors believe that it will take us at least anoth- er year, if not more, to draw concrete conclu- sions. Scientists worldwide are on the go. They are chasing the virus’ evolution and its mutants with a few winning streaks. But a silver lining in the dark clouds of what seems to be a never- ending pandemic is that the country might be entering an endemic stage. Dr HK Mahajan, Anaesthesiologist, Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, Vasant Kunj, tells you that as per the World Health Organisation’s Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan, India is entering into an endemic stage. “This suggests that a population has learnt to live with a virus. There is a low or moderate level of transmission going on. There are no peaks or exponential growth like pandemic or epidem- ic,” he says. The high cases, he points out, occur where immunity is less, people are not vaccinated or not infected in the previous waves. However, as per the experts from National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), a third wave is imminent and can hit the coun- try any time between September and October. “It will not be that severe, but paediatric cases will be more, though not backed up by any sci- entific evidence. In this case, we need to have paediatrics infrastructure, ICU wards and doctors and trained nurses to deal with chil- dren getting infected,” says Mahajan. If the stats are anything to go by, they sug- gest that the country will see cases anywhere between one lakh and five lakh a day. “NIDM has predicted three scenarios. One, the third wave may peak in October. Two, three lakh cases per day. Three, if more viru- lent variants emerge, it may peak in September with five lakh cases per day. Four, it could peak in late October with two lakh cases per day,” adds Mahajan. All these models, he says, are based on cal- culations and are basically for forecasting and making predictions to anticipate the dynam- ics of the pandemic. “How many cases, viru- lency, morbidity and morbidity trends will hap- pen are demonstrated based on mathematical models. In India, these are mostly done by experts from IIT Kanpur and IIT Hyderabad. They take clues from several warnings indicat- ing an imminent third wave, understand them and prepare for it,” explains Mahajan. Dr Shuchin Bajaj, Founder & Director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, agrees with Mahajan and says that with the highest zero positivity rate and progressively increasing vac- cine coverage, it appears that India is heading for an endemic stage of the virus. “Kerala, which is seeing very high numbers is current- ly suffering from the third wave because of the low zero positivity rate, which is less than 40 per cent compared to about 70 per cent in the Northern part of the country. So, with the increased vaccination coverage, we are already administering about 50 lakh vaccines a day and we’re hoping that we will be doing about one crore vaccines per day to achieve our target of complete vaccination by the end of the year. We hope that the next wave, if it does come, will be like the British third wave, which even God forbid the next pandemic comes in,” says though with increased numbers, it had very low /1*%  )  )  '6  Bajaj. hospitalisation rates as well as very low death But for that to happen, the vaccination drive rates,” says Bajaj.
