the Immunologist explained why even children with a chronic disease can easily tolerate СOVID-19. Strong inflammation in adolescents as reaction to already migrated coronavirus, also rare – about 20 cases in the world – and they are connected with the reaction of certain people to be infected with the virus. About this said the head of the paediatric Department of the Jerusalem hospital “Hadassa”, the immunologist, Professor Jacob Berman.
“the Reason may lie in the characteristics of a child’s immune system. They have, he is not yet ripe. And, apparently, the part that is not yet developed, it is not necessary to combat coronavirus. And the innate immune system more effective in children” – quoted by Dr. RIA Novosti.
the Professor also spoke about the amazing cases of the hospital when in large families where the adults were sick with coronavirus, part of the children do not become infected. Israel this week opened a day nursery and kindergartens, schoolchildren went back to school last week. Some parents are still hesitant to bring children into educational institutions, for fear of infection. Professor Berman caution considers excessive, believing that small groups of children and in compliance with the rules of hygiene the risk of infection now is minimal.
