      Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Honored Scientist of Russia, Professor of Moscow State University named after Lomonosov Sergey Kolesnikov explained why the virus can remain in the body forever.

 

      According to the scientist, this type of coronavirus can contribute to the chronicity of the process in the human body, as in the case of the human herpes virus or the human papillomavirus, which live in the body without manifesting themselves in any way. A person can also have a number of other infectious agents, the presence of which in the body is physiological, but in a certain amount. A deviation from the norm can lead to pathology, and in some cases, in the absence of timely treatment, to serious outcomes.

 

      At the moment, this conclusion is not accurate. It is necessary to monitor the course of the coronavirus infection. Will there be a response to specific therapy and what? Will there be an effect of vaccine prevention? All these points require additional study, since COVID-19 has four "brothers" that exist in our population and contribute to the chronicity of the process in the human body.

 

      At the moment, humanity is faced with such a terrible "biological" weapon as COVID-19, whose actions have not yet been stopped. For a complete study and a detailed description of this infection, it is necessary to go through a series of studies that require a lot of money, time and effort.
