A study by a group of scientists from the United States showed that colds can protect people from COVID-19. Such a discovery, they said, could find more effective ways to combat coronavirus infection.
The experiment was carried out by scientists from Yale University in the United States. Daily Mail… It turned out that the virus that provokes the common cold triggers an immune response in a sick person, which the can prevent infection with COVID-19.
To understand this, the researchers grew respiratory tract tissue in the laboratory and infected it with rhinovirus (which causes the common cold) and then with coronavirus. After contact with the rhinovirus, the immune system was activated, and the spread of SARS-CoV-2 stopped.
At the same time, the researchers emphasized that this method can be used only at the very beginning of the disease. And in the future, such therapy can be dangerous.

Recall: earlier, scientists from King’s College London found that due to the mutation, the main symptoms of the coronavirus have changed. Now the most common signs of the disease are headache, sore throat, runny nose and fever.
The researchers noted that cough is now in fifth place among the most common manifestations of coronavirus, and loss of smell is no longer in the top 10.
