Honored Doctor of Russia, leading scientific editor of the Vrachu.ru service Mikhail Kagan told kp.ru how the coronavirus is similar to “spam”.
– The main task of the virus is endless reproduction. In this case, the virus acts like spam: preference is given to the speed and number of sent messages, rather than the correct spelling of the text. The huge scale of the pandemic has led to the fact that every minute trillions of new particles of SARS CoV-2 appear in the world, and therefore its changes are inevitable, – said the specialist, commenting on the words of the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Mikhail Murashko, who recalled the lightning-fast spread of coronavirus.
Kagan said that in addition to this, mutations of the virus have the ability to layer, reinforce each other and be even more dangerous than their original version, because they change their properties in connection with this.
