Coronavirus cannot spread through a variety of means, such as clothing.
This was stated in an interview with BNR by Associate Professor Andrey Chorbanov, head of the Department of Immunology at the Institute of Microbiology of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, where a coronavirus vaccine is being developed.
According to him, group immunity is the one that can preserve the human population.
“I see paranoid people wearing gloves outside. In open spaces, the virus is sensitive to everything. The fact that it lasted for hours on surfaces borders science fiction,” said the immunologist.
The prototype of the Bulgarian vaccine will be ready in three months. Construction of the vaccine is pending, followed by lengthy testing.
According to him, the work will last about a year. There is competition between companies for state sums, which will be allocated by rich countries for the test.
The Bulgarian vaccine is a virus that mimics a particle and has nanomaterials that will carry the respective viral components that must be recognized.
“At the end of the pandemic, experts will assess what is scarier for a vaccine: to be massive, to protect the population from isolation from public life, or to be for specific people. Rather, there should be a personal choice,” said the professor. associate Chorbanov.
He himself said that he was skeptical about the drugs and trusted the immune system.
“The virus is not a living organism, but a molecule. Drugs have extremely strong side effects. This virus is not the true Armageddon. The virus has shown that society is not only technically unprepared to respond to this type of epidemic, but also psychologically, “he said. and stressed that it was not yet clear what immunity COVID-19 generated.
