Rhinovirus blocks COVID-19
Scientists claim that some viruses compete with each other. And the rhinovirus is stronger than the coronavirus and can block it.
British scientists from the University of Glasgow have concluded that the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is stronger than the coronavirus. It is reported by BBC News.
“The flu is the strongest virus, which in most cases works by itself. The same cannot be said, for example, of adenoviruses. There has been a lot of research studying the viral interactions of Sars-CoV-2 But due to social distances, the ability to determine this process has become much more difficult “, – says the study.
For viral studies, epidemiologists took a copy of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and infected it with Sars-CoV-2 and rhinovirus. It turned out that the virus that causes colds inhibits the development of COVID-19 in the human body. And if the rhinovirus develops in one day, the coronavirus won’t stand a chance.
Scientists suggest that in 2009 rhinovirus reduced the development of swine flu in some European countries.
Research has shown that this type of virus triggers an immune response within infected cells, thus blocking the ability of Sars-CoV-2 to make copies of itself.
Remember that scientists talked about the increased risks of coronavirus in the spring due to pollen in the air.
