‘WE CAN SAY THAT 50 PERCENT OF SOCIETY HAS THE DISEASE’
According to the DHA report, Prof. Dr. Orhan Yıldız said: “We wanted to determine whether the patients to be operated on in our hospital are carriers or patients, and to protect the surgical team. We evaluated the data we obtained from patients in this precautionary study. We saw Kayseri and the peak experienced in the period, the positive production percentage of 6 to 6.5 percent PCR in Turkey. In a quieter period, so was one of the gold ones. Consequently, we can say that he and Kayseri had a society disease and 50 percent of Turkey and the mass immunity wins, “he said.
‘A VALUABLE STUDY’
Teacher. Dr. Yildiz, explaining that the study is valuable in terms of showing that a significant segment of society suffers from the disease without symptoms, “The new state of the virus is much more contagious. The ‘spike’ that we will experience in the end can be very shocking. We were very difficult when the second peak was experienced. We can think that it will be much more challenged at the third peak, it will exceed its capacity. So you have to be careful. It is a virus very different from SARS and MERS virus. We scientists were very curious about this, if it would disappear at a time like SARS and MERS. We thought it would disappear like the others. The difference is that it is very contagious. It is very good that the Mortality rate is low compared to the MERS. If there were death rates in the MERS, it would not have been 5 to 6 million. It would have caused many more deaths. The rate is lower than others, “he said.
