“冬季和春季通常是呼吸道疾病的高发季节，感染者康复后获得的免疫力持续时间有限，且只能对抗之前感染过的病原体，对不同变异株仍有可能感染”

“此外，人们防御传染性呼吸道疾病的能力可能会在多次感染后下降。”

"Winter and spring are usually peak seasons for respiratory diseases, and the natural immunity of recovered people can only work against the pathogens they overcome for limited durations. They may also contract illnesses from different pathogen variants," Liu said.

"In addition, people's ability to fight off infectious respiratory diseases may decline following repeated infections."
