To speak of a new wave, this means that the old one must have ended, there must be a period without new infected people, and this has not happened to us. This was stated by the virologist Prof. Radka Argirova at BNT.

“People who travel and need a document came to be examined in the summer and now people with symptoms are arriving,” he said.

According to her, many people with symptoms are not tested.

“The number of laboratories has increased a lot. There are strict and defined rules when it comes to reporting CRP, there is no doubt. Only if the test is taken incorrectly,” added Professor Argirova.

“It must be taken into account that not all people need PCR. There are also antigen tests, they show a positive result just when there are symptoms. It can be used perfectly when the patient is admitted for surgery,” said the virologist.

This will not be the last epidemic and we must be careful how close the animal world is to us, he said.

“It is becoming increasingly difficult to care for the sick, and in this situation, the appeal of the BMA to medical students and retired physicians is very good.”

“Remdesivira has a subtlety: it should be used at an earlier stage of the disease, not to wait,” he said.

“I am concerned that with the constant variability of the virus, whether the antibodies will be valid if we have a mutant. There are cases of this type in virology.”
