Virgil Musta: We are facing cases of COVID-19, in young people, with rapid evolution. In a few days, from 10% lung damage to 70%

“In the last three weeks, we are facing an increase in the number of cases, an increase that is possibly due to the fact that in the community there is a virus with more intense transmission. What we find is that the number of cases has increased and the severe forms are more numerous. (…) Unfortunately, we do not have the possibility to determine these subtypes or these strains, but the way the clinical forms evolve indirectly shows that we are facing other strains or strains other than those we have encountered so far. “, Said Virgil Musta on Sunday, in a telephone intervention at Digi 24.

He says this could be one of the explanations for the rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, noting that there is a severe course of the disease in young people.

“The question is whether these strains have a more pronounced pathogenicity, because at the same time we face cases in young people, with rapid evolution, in a few days, from a lung damage of 10% to 70% which, such rapid and severe evolutions, we have not had until now “, added the doctor.

Regarding the situation in Timisoara, Virgil Musta says that there is “a slight decrease but the pressure on hospitals is just as high because the effects of quarantine, when it is respected, and is effective, we can see only over one -two weeks”.
