The most dangerous mutation of coronavirus is the emergence of resistance to the body’s immune response in the pathogen. Therapist, clinical pharmacologist, candidate of medical sciences Andrei Kondrakhin spoke about this in an interview with Vechernyaya Moskva.
“It’s like HIV. Out of the blue, the virus can suddenly become not only more infectious, but also more resistant, create new defense mechanisms against antibodies, ”he explained. Kondrakhin recalled that antibodies attach to the receptors of the virus, but it can mutate so that the proteins of the blood plasma cannot see it or cannot resist. Nevertheless, the doctor expressed doubts that such a powerful change in infection could occur, especially in a short time.
According to him, a much more realistic option is that the virus will become so contagious that it will be possible to become infected after a single contact with its carrier. In this case, the virus will become “wild”, will spread freely in the population and it will be almost impossible to get rid of it.
Earlier, Kondrakhin said that the likelihood that the British strain of coronavirus will spread across Russia is quite high due to its greater infectivity. At the same time, he pointed out that the new version of the coronavirus did not become heavier, it proceeds and is treated in the same way as the previous one.
Since the beginning of December, it has become known about the emergence of new mutated strains of SARS-CoV-2 from the UK, South Africa and Brazil. These variants of the virus appear to spread more easily, and this could lead to an increase in cases, deaths and hospitalizations.
