One of the biggest puzzles about the coronavirus is who depends on who develops a more serious illness. More than once, completely healthy patients also die from complications of viral infection.

Researchers have been concerned about how this is possible since the outbreak. An international research group was interested in how it could be that while Europe continues to fight the virus infection, life at the coronavirus epicenter in Wuhan has returned to normal. Genetics have been shown to play a role in this, reported the ATV Weekly Journal.

The European population is not only more exposed to serious infections due to genetics, but the aging of society and obesity also increase the risk. The reason for this is the intestinal system, where in addition to many bacteria, there are also specifically inflammatory bacteria.

Whatever its origin, it is reported that men are more likely to have a serious infection. Researchers have also found hormonal causes that play a role in this. But it also seems certain that people with blood type A are more prone to serious illnesses than people with blood type 0.

It is not just foreign research that exists. Márta Széll and her team want to know if there is a gene unique to us Hungarians that affects the severity of a disease. A couple of labs away, they also started at the University of Szeged to find out whether mandatory vaccination against tuberculosis in Hungary may have something to do with the course of infection. According to the research group led by Dezső Virok, the truth is that vaccination accelerates the response of the immune system.

Since the advent of coronavirus mutations, it has also been known that it does not matter what type of coronavirus a person is encountered, but also the number of virus particles.
