According to Béla Merkely, more than 1.5 million Hungarians have had a coronavirus infection so far, which is about 15 percent. For flock immunity, 60 percent is required. According to the rector, the situation is expected to improve in spring.
Béla Merkely, rector of Semmelweis University, also contracted the coronavirus, and is now speaking with ATV about how she survived the disease.
He had previously thought that he would overcome it with a light course, but on the third day he had great pain and fever, as well as weakness. He also took vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin B during illness. the latter due to pain in the peripheral nervous system. By the way, the rector recommended the oxygen meter, which can be used to measure our oxygen saturation (the saturation of the blood with oxygen).
If this value is above 90 percent, there are not many problems.
Merkely said.
He said remdesivir can help in the early stages of infection, preventing the virus from dividing. “We need to be aware of the symptoms and watch ourselves because if the condition worsens, we have to go to the hospital and receive the therapies,” he added. Another drug, favipiravir, is believed to be effective in mild to moderate cases. Merkely believes that timing is the most important thing. He sees as a problem in this regard that after patients report late, they receive the necessary medication a little late.
The rector also spoke about the fact that previously completely healthy people can become so ill that they will have bilateral pneumonia and will be placed on a ventilator. “We cannot rely too much on anything,” he said, then encouraged everyone to avoid getting sick because no one can be sure that they are avoiding a severe course.
According to his calculations, more than 1.5 million Hungarians have already contracted a coronavirus infection, which is about 15 percent. At the same time, 60 percent is needed for flock immunity. “I think we can avoid this epidemic around March-April,” said Béla Merkely.
