埃博拉病毒的共同发现者告诉 Mun-Keat Looi，他个人如何受到长期新冠病毒的影响，以及这场流行病在中低收入国家的表现如何，彼得·皮奥特发现并帮助阻止了一场而是两次埃博拉疫情，以及在 1980 年代艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行期间，他是一名开创性的研究人员。但是，当 covid-19 来袭时，“终于，病毒感染了我，”他在 2020 年告诉《科学》杂志。作为一名病毒学家，他早就警告说，另一场全球大流行是不可避免的。但他没想到会导致冠状病毒——他也没想到它会把他送进医院。“我在 2020 年 3 月中旬感染了新冠病毒，当时是大流行的初期，”他告诉 BMJ。“经历了住院和所有这些之后，我认为一切都结束了。然后，在大约六个月的时间里，我筋疲力尽，肺部和心脏出现问题。“在一开始的时候，我不能上楼梯。我有间质性肺炎，所以我的 X 光片像白人，我有一些心房颤动等心脏问题。但持续时间最长的是那种极度疲惫的感觉。” 皮奥特说，世界还没有为新冠病毒做好准备，也没有为下一次大流行做好准备。2020 年 3 月下旬，在他感染新冠病毒之前，他发表了一次受他试图应对艾滋病毒的经历影响的演讲。他说，世界可能不得不忍受这种新的冠状病毒，他仍然相信这一点。“完全消除 SARS-CoV-2 是行不通的，”他说。“我们需要找到一种生活方式——一种生活方式。这可能因一个社会而异。” 为了长度和清晰度，本次采访已经过编辑。因为在大流行初期，人们的想法是，要么covid有点……

The BMJ Interview: Peter Piot

The co-discoverer of the Ebola virus tells Mun-Keat Looi how he has been personally affected by long covid and what the pandemic looks like in low and middle income countries Peter Piot identified and helped stop not one but two Ebola epidemics, as well as being a pioneering researcher during the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. But when covid-19 hit, “Finally, the viruses got me,” he told Science in 2020. As a virologist, he’d long warned that another global pandemic was inevitable. But he hadn’t expected a coronavirus to be responsible—nor did he expect it to put him in hospital. “I got covid in mid-March 2020, in the very early days of the pandemic,” he tells The BMJ . “Having gone through hospitalisation and all that, I thought it was over. And then, for around six months, I was exhausted and had lung and heart problems. “In the beginning, I couldn’t go up the stairs. I had interstitial pneumonia, so my x rays were like whites, and I had some cardiac problems with atrial fibrillation and so on. But it was feeling extremely exhausted that’s lasted the longest.” Piot says that the world wasn’t ready for covid and isn’t ready for the next pandemic. In late March 2020, before he got covid, he gave a talk influenced by his experience of trying to deal with HIV. He said that the world would probably have to live with this new coronavirus, and he still believes this. “Eliminating SARS-CoV-2 completely is not going to work,” he says. “We need to find a modus vivendi—a way to live. And that may be different from one society to another.” This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Because in the early pandemic days, the idea was that either covid was a little bit …
