“Now they are treated at home even with pneumonia, if it is, for example, unilateral … When it is bilateral, there is no other option (hospitalization is needed). And there is another characteristic that the virus does not consume both your lungs and yours the body. That is, a hormonal storm begins, and the immune system tries to defeat this virus. And along with the virus it begins to devour the lungs. And from here the effect of this ground glass. This can lead to pulmonary thrombosis, “said Peskov.

He said that his family, whom he had infected, sat at home for a month and a half with all precautions. In addition, a Putin spokesman said that during a coronavirus infection, the main thing is to immediately go to doctors for help.

“The first day there were no symptoms at all, and then the temperature started just above 37 … In this disease, the main thing is not to get lost. The virus is thirsty for blood. Although, thank God, doctors already have experience dealing with it, but still the degree of unpredictability associated with individual characteristics is always present, “Peskov said.
