Coronavius will be defeated when revealed why he kills the elderly rather than the children

Fortunately, the children are spared. If we understand why, we can get additional weapons to fight an epidemic that has already swept the world.

In China, only 2.4 percent of patients with COVID-19 are children, and 0.2 percent are cases of children in critical condition, reports the Washington Post. The World Health Organization (OBSH) has announced that China has not reported deaths to children.

Meanwhile, a new type of coronary is seriously lethal to the other side of “the perspective of the age”. The mortality in China, for people over 80 years old, is 21.9 percent. This means that the new strain of the coronary is brought differently from other viruses, such as the seasonal flu, which is just as dangerous for many years, but also for many young people.

When we figure out why children are saved so much, we'll understand why the virus kills the elderly, says Frank Esper, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at Cleveland Children's Hospital- USA.

The questions that Esper and others are trying to answer is, Is the spread of infection about something else, something that patients have previously been exposed to? Is it about changing our immune system, which comes with age? Or is it the damage to pollution that has occurred over the years?

“O may not have anything to do with the virus, but with nicotine, which has lung changes, diabetes, or coronary”, explains Esper, who studies viral respiratory infections and new diseases.

Coronervirus ' former expansions have also touched no children. No single child died during the SARS epidemic in 2002 that left 774 people dead.

And very few children related symptoms of deadly coronary M The ERS, which killed 858 people in 2012. To find out why, Menachery injects mice into labs with SARS, which is a relative of a new type of coronary, which, after all, is called SARS-CoV-2. He also pointed out that the situation with mice was the same -- children's rats went through trouble-free infections, while the lungs and bodies of old mice were destroyed.

Menachery found that the mortality rate in mice was associated not only with the weakness of the immune system but also with the “disorder” that caused immune systems to be re-activated to the SARS. This is similar to the way people die from COVID-19.

The aggressive response of the immune system destroys them more than infection. Think about how this team of specialists broke your door, infiltrates your apartment and arrests you because you threw a piece of paper out of the window”, Menachery explains.

But the question he and others have is why do children go through an infection without a problem?

If it really is that children are more resistant to this infection, then I think something is mechanical than immune. It has to do with receptors on children's bodies or their lungs, which prevents that the “virus is backed up” on body”, said Esper.

Most epidemiologists believe that poor symptoms actually mask reality and that children suffer in the same number as adults. New data from Chinese researchers says Chinese authorities have conducted a study and found that children and adults share the same percentage of coronary contact.
