Russian doctors talked about the features of COVID-19, which distinguish it from the classic flu and colds.
First of all, you need to pay attention to temperature changes and sensations in the nasopharynx. This will help distinguish between bacterial and viral infections. In the presence of pain and discomfort in the throat and lack of temperature, we can talk about bacterial infection. Virus infection is accompanied by fever and the absence of signs of localization of pain. Coronavirus infection is characterized by dry cough, general weakness and shortness of breath.
COVID-19 has a special way of getting into cells. Unlike other viruses, it penetrates the membrane not in arbitrary areas, but replaces the molecules of the “corona” protein, which are especially important for life. This mechanism makes it difficult to determine the immune system, allowing you to quickly begin destructive work. The maximum blow falls on the respiratory system.
Another feature of COVID-19 is its fast transfer between people. This explains the sharp spread of coronavirus. An increased risk of infection is for people aged. The probability of infection in them is almost the same as in the rest, but the course of the disease is more severe.
