András Falus, an immunologist who interviewed ATV, warns everyone to be careful with the coronavirus. The expert stressed that it is a new virus and that coronaviruses have only been known for forty or fifty years. And he added: there are some that cause completely harmless colds, but this type of now is dangerous. According to the expert, Covid-19 is more similar to the SARS virus of ten years ago.

András Falus emphasized that he understands politics, which is to suggest optimism, but prefers to see that we are currently in the second wave, and it is also conceivable that there is a third.

The immunologist sees the advantage of the prolonged crisis as increased awareness of the virus. He also spoke about the fact that the efficacy of antibody-containing blood plasma extracted from cured patients is not only dependent on the antibody. It is not they who protect against viruses, but the immune system. “The antibody is a marker that the immune system has awakened,” he stressed.

According to András Falus, the effects of the coronavirus will persist in the long term. In the past, asphyxia and pulmonary edema were the main concerns, but in addition to these, the virus also has detrimental effects on the heart, kidneys and brain.
