It's not just about immunity. According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 43.9 million cases of infections have been recorded in the world today. Most infected in the United States (8.7 million), India (7.9 million) and Brazil (5.4 million). In Russia, the number of infections with the new coronavirus is growing. According to official statistics, to date, 1,563,976 cases of coronavirus have been registered in Russia in 85 regions. Most infected in Moscow - 409,022 people for the entire period. Experts around the world are unraveling the mystery of immunity to the new coronavirus. For example, researchers from the United States admit that those who have had seasonal ARVI can become immune to many coronaviruses. And representatives of Rospotrebnadzor talked about people who were lucky enough to have innate protection against COVID-19 (they have certain gene mutations). Russian scientists have explained why some people are immune to COVID-19. According to Boris Pinegin, Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, some do not become infected with coronavirus in contact with infected people due to the high level of natural immunity. “High level of natural immunity. Each individual case must be dealt with. There are people who live to be almost a hundred years old, because the initial indicators are very high. This is given by nature, parents, "- the scientist expressed his point of view, talking with the TV channel" Zvezda ". And Georgy Vikulov, immunologist, director of the Scientific Information Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Viral Infections, believes that immunity is not the only reason why some lucky people do not catch a new virus. The point may be not only in a certain effect of the immune system, but also in genetic resistance to the virus. The scientist commented to Ura.ru the fact that some people do not become infected with COVID-19 when they come into contact with infected people, even if they do not follow the rules of personal protection: “Perhaps this is the effect of the immune system. Possibly low viral load. Or the sum of these factors. " By the way, the Russians were told how to strengthen their immunity in a pandemic. And they named houseplants that are dangerous for immunity.
