According to the professor, viruses pave the way for bacterial infections, which, sensing gaps in the body, rush to them.
— We relaxed after covid restrictions. We are constantly in society, we are constantly in the center of a mass gathering of people. Of course, all this incredibly contributes to the spread of all these viruses,” said Mikhail Statsenko. “In addition, we have completely forgotten everything that the coronavirus has taught us. Previously, if we had any symptoms of acute respiratory infections, we tried to stay at home. Now we all, despite feeling unwell, rush to work. Yes, of course, we have forgotten about social distance, we are again huddling together, but, of course, we are also quickly infected. There is influenza, they are of different types, there is type A, there is type B, there are various other strains. And now we have been ill with one strain and we can easily go out and pick up a new one. Just because you’ve had swine flu doesn’t mean you can’t get another influenza A virus. You can get sick as long as you want. But I want to say that any infection is a blow to our immunity.
