Yale University Scientists Find Out Cold Can Protect Against COVID-19

A group of researchers from Yale University found that a cold can protect a person from COVID-19, according to the Daily Mail.

According to experts, the virus provoking a cold triggers an immune response in the sick person, which can prevent infection with the coronavirus. This discovery could be the starting point for finding more effective treatments for COVID-19.

The immune response consists of genes stimulated by interferon that respond at an early stage of the disease and prevent the virus from multiplying in the body. Researchers have previously found that increased immunity from the common cold can protect a person from the flu, so scientists began to look for a similar way to combat COVID-19.

Shorter incubation period

The incubation period for the coronavirus has been reduced to four to five days.

How to beat the coronavirus

Only mass vaccination will help to finally cope with the coronavirus epidemic.

“Infectionists and epidemiologists are unanimous: only vaccination will help to finally cope with the epidemic.”

At the same time, it is extremely important to get vaccinated in the summer in order to prepare for the autumn-winter season, when, by tradition, the incidence of ARVI, influenza, and other droplet infections is much higher.

First of all, doctors urged to be vaccinated with any available drug, stressing that age and chronic diseases speak in favor of the need for vaccination.

Doctors also advise the use of Interferon Gamma nose drops, stating that this drug shows good results in the prevention of coronavirus.

In addition, one should not forget about the standard preventive measures: maintaining social distance and limiting stay in closed rooms with a large crowd of people.

Vaccination

Vaccination against coronavirus is carried out in all states of the country.
