Dr. Basset with good words: Coronavirus is dying on his own, may have mutated

Dr. Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious disease clinic at the hospital in San Marino, said the virus appears to be becoming less accessible, possibly the cause of genetic mutations, reports Sunday Telegraph.

The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in terms of its gravity,” said Basset.

In March and April, our models were quite different. People came to the emergency department with very difficult to control and needed oxygen and ventilators, and some developed pneumonia. ”

But he said that in the past month “tablo has completely changed in terms of models. ”

It was like an aggressive tiger in March and April, but now it's like a wild cat,” has added Basset. Even older patients, 80 and 90, are lying in bed easy and breathing without our help. The same patients would have died earlier. ”

He said one of the reasons why the virus had become weaker could be mutations that had taken the cause of social distance measures.

I think the virus has undergone changes because our immune system reacts to viruses and we, as humans, have smaller viral loads because of quarantines, masks and social distance,” Basset continued.

It is possible that the virus will disappear even before scientists discover the vaccine, he concluded. /Periscope
