As noted by Kryuchkov, people hoping to easily get sick with a coronavirus infection, intentionally contracting COVID-19 for this from another person who is mildly ill, are at great risk, trying to get antibodies to the virus in this way.

“I want to appeal to everyone ... even if this is confirmed in several, rather than in one study, this does not mean that you do not have a serious risk of getting an asymptomatic or mild person with an extremely severe course of the disease,” he said.

The specialist emphasized that “in addition to the viral load, there is still time and closeness of contact, there are individual characteristics” and other factors.

Earlier, Nikolai Kryuchkov, immunologist, doctor of medical sciences, in an interview with FAN gave recommendations on vaccinations against influenza and coronavirus.
