Scientists have found that the virus that causes the common cold can effectively remove the coronavirus from the body’s cells, the BBC reports.
BBC. The conditions in which a common cold can get rid of COVID
Some viruses compete to become the cause of an infection, and scientists at the University of Glasgow say the virus that causes the common cold is able to catch the coronavirus.
We can get an idea of how this phenomenon works on the cells of the nose, throat and lungs as a row of houses. Once a virus enters, it can keep the door open for other viruses to enter, or it can close the door to keep the house to itself.
Influenza is one of the most selfish viruses. Instead, the adenoviruses seem willing to share that house.
There has been much speculation about how the Sars-CoV-2 virus manages the mysterious world of “virus-virus interactions.”
The Glasgow Virus Research Center team used a replica of our respiratory system and infected it with Sars-CoV-2 and rhinovirus, one of the most common infections and causes what we know as a common cold.
How to get rid of a common COVID cold
If the rhinovirus and Sars-CoV-2 enter the body at the same time, only the rhinovirus is successful.
If the rhinovirus enters the body 24 hours before, then Sars-CoV-2 fails to enter. Even when Sars-CoV-2 enters the body 24 hours in advance, the whole rhinovirus wins.
“It simply came to our notice then. If you have a large amount of rhinovirus in your body, it can stop the Sars-CoV-2 infection, “Dr. Pablo Murcia told BBC News. 3Dots.ro
