Why some people get coronavirus without symptoms: Dr. Komarovsky answered

Famous Ukrainian pediatrician Evgeny Komarovsky believes that not everyone will get the coronavirus. In his opinion, the main role in determining the severity and symptoms of the disease is played by human immunity: the stronger it is, the less manifestations.

Many are infected with the virus, but only a few are sick.

Yes, not everyone will get sick. Many may not get sick by definition. Because they have a strong immune system, the coronavirus is unable to defeat it. There are many such people, nothing threatens them.

Komarovsky also stated that herd immunity is not associated only with the presence of specific antibodies in a person:

Indeed, antibodies after coronavirus do not appear in everyone, they do not last long. Even in New York, only 30% have antibodies, although the outbreak there is very serious. And for herd immunity, 70% of the population needs antibodies. This is still a long way to go. But even if there are no antibodies, the immune system leaves memory cells that help a person cope with infection in the future. Those. and without antibodies, a person can be completely protected from COVID-19.
