So far, no one in Serbia has explained to the citizens what they need to know about the coronavirus and how to behave accordingly. Till today.
This is exactly what the world-renowned Serbian scientist Dr. Milanko Shekler, doctor of veterinary sciences, did, who was the first, with his expert team at the Veterinary Specialist Institute in Kraljevo, to "read" the genome of coronavirus in Serbia, which is entered in the world database.
People don't know
According to him, most citizens are very unfamiliar with important facts, which would be of great use to them in the daily implementation of measures to protect themselves and their families, as well as other people, from the coronavirus.
-Today, in terms of knowledge of coronavirus, advanced or experienced scientists are almost non-existent in the whole world - because this virus is relatively new and has been intensively studied for less than a year. So we are all, at least for this new coronavirus, including my little one, more or less complete beginners, and at least for now, guaranteed "losers". In order for that not to happen in the future, we will all have to work on informing as many people as possible. Of course, with the assumption that all those professionals, for whom viruses, epidemiology and immunology are the field of work - must do their best to find, to begin with, the least "harmful" and, in the future, the best possible solution for stopping the existing human coronavirus pandemic - says our scientist.

According to him, "we who deal with infectious animal diseases, ie veterinary virology, know and" fight "with this group of viruses, in different types of domestic animals, chickens, pigs, cattle, dogs, cats for almost 100 years."
-Production of vaccines against this disease of chickens, as well as the beginning of vaccination in chickens began to be carried out intensively in the early sixties, which means that veterinary medicine has more than half a century of experience in the use of vaccines against coronavirus infections in chickens! According to that accumulated half-century experience in the fight against coronavirus, we can use a lot of things in the fight against this new human or strain that infects people - he explains.
It is not a respiratory virus
According to Dr. Shekler, this coronavirus is a systemic virus, infecting all organs, not the respiratory ones.
- It infects the entire human organism, ie almost all its organs. This means that regardless of the fact that the respiratory organs are the entrance door to coronavirus infection - pharynx, larynx, nose, sinuses, trachea, lungs, etc.…, it spreads very quickly after multiplication in these organs, through the bloodstream and probably lymph flow throughout organism. Of course, since the coronavirus first infects the respiratory organs, the harmful consequences of its presence and reproduction are the easiest and first noticed - he points out and adds:
- And, surely, the most extensive and dangerous inflammations of the nasal mucosa, throat, pharynx, sinuses, trachea, bronchi and, finally, severe pneumonia, because the infection gradually progresses in this order: from the upper parts of the respiratory organs "descends" deeper and deeper. , to the lungs - explains the expert, adding that the most important thing is for all of us to learn important things about coranivurus.
Coronavirus
-All viruses can, among other things, be divided into those that do not have a membrane and viruses that have one. This second group of viruses, those that have a coating, includes all coronaviruses, including this pandemic. This envelope, as a rule, also contains a large proportion of lipids or fats, which makes such viruses much more sensitive to the action of the external environment. Therefore, these viruses are very sensitive to drying because they quickly lose their infectivity on dry surfaces, such as tables, glasses, tablecloths, handles, windows, walls, concrete. Also, they are sensitive to high temperatures because 56 degrees Celsius drastically reduces their infectivity. They are also sensitive to all types of disinfectants, even ordinary alcohol, as well as all detergents and soaps, which, as a rule, dissolve fats. These are viruses, which, when found in our stomach, are instantly killed by stomach acid, so they cannot infect our intestines and other internal organs in that way - our scientist states.
They are very sensitive
Dr. Milanko Shekler continues that coronaviruses are also very sensitive to the external environment and that it is very difficult for people to become infected by "picking them up" somewhere, from a surface or object.
- Theoretically, you can be infected with the coronavirus through the infected surface of a table, glass, window. Just in case the infected person threw or spat on that surface, and after a few minutes you touched it while it was still wet and "injected" viruses into your nose or mouth. So that's just a theory. From the very beginning, that is why no one mentions wearing gloves in everyday life. Because coronaviruses can survive and be transmitted to other people only if they are protected in a body fluid, such as saliva or saliva, feces, urine or blood - he states.
Describing the behavior of the coronavirus when it enters the human body, Dr. Milanko Shekler reveals:
-The coronavirus, in order to infect someone, must first bind to the surface of precisely defined cells of our body. It cannot enter the body through skin or facial cells, but only through the cells of our nasal mucosa, throat, sinuses, trachea or lungs. The coronavirus, in that case, must bind to precisely defined places on the surface of the mentioned cells. These places are called receptors. We will imagine that those places are like doors on the house, through which it is only possible to enter it. Well, the coronavirus also uses specific places, which have the role of a "door" for entering the cell and infecting it - this scientist is picturesque, noting that only then and only then can the coronavirus pass through the "entrance door" and enter the cell .
Like the boss of the house
He adds that when the virus is found in the cell, it immediately starts behaving like the "boss of the house".
-The virus starts to use everything that is in that cell and has only one goal - to produce as many new particles of coronavirus, its descendants, and so efficiently, that from one virus thousands and tens of thousands of new ones are formed, in just a few hours or days. Then that infected cell bursts, disintegrating from so many newly formed coronaviruses. All these new, young viruses, after leaving the cell, immediately stick to the surrounding healthy cells and enter them, multiplying again and causing the same effect. This practically describes the very beginning of the infection, which lasts only a few hours or at most a few days. During this period, the infected person usually has no symptoms of the disease - he explains and continues:
Symptoms
-The symptoms of the disease appear only in a few days. During that time, the infected person has no signs of the disease, but it contains millions and billions of virus particles, which penetrate deeper and deeper into the body. At the same time, such a person begins to expel coronaviruses from the body through exhaled air, but also with tiny drops of saliva while talking, singing or shouting. At the moment of getting the symptoms of the infection, the infected person starts sneezing and coughing, throwing out millions and tens of millions of viruses all around him - Dr. Shekler is clear.
As he points out, sometimes someone does not show any noticeable clinical signs of the disease at all, which is most often the case when it comes to children or young people.
Asymptomatic cases
- But also middle-aged and even older people. One can have such mild symptoms that it is difficult to notice them. Slightly stuffy nose, transient fever of only 37.1 or 37.2 degrees, headache… These are the so-called asymptomatic cases of coronavirus. Luckily, these people are much harder to infect others because they do not shed such large amounts of coronavirus. Only by sneezing and coughing, droplets of saliva, saliva or mucus full of viruses are expelled, at a distance of about five to six meters - he reveals.
As Dr. Shekler points out, in order for another person to become infected, an infectious dose of the virus is necessary, and that is a precisely determined amount of coronavirus, expressed in an approximate number of particles, which is needed to enter someone's organism.
When an infection occurs
-The latest research data indicate that the amount of coronavirus, which needs to enter your throat, nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, in order to become infected, is between 500 and 1,000 virus particles, in a period of several hours. Such a quantity is necessary for the virus to be able to "break through" through the defense system and successfully start to multiply and cause infection and clinically manifested disease - he describes and adds that the higher the amount of viruses, the more severe the disease.
However, as he explains, if you inhale 30 or 50 virus particles, there is a high probability that you will not get sick at all, because your many white blood cells will be able to "beat and tear" all those 50 "robber" particles, and you will not even know about it. "Battle" in your body.
If you hug a sick person
-On the other hand, if you inhale or inject several thousand or tens of thousands of viruses at once, for example, hug an infected person and sing together at a wedding, celebration, birthday, concert or nightclub, then the amount of virus is large enough to "Overcomes" your defense capabilities and manages to infect several of your cells - he states.
There is something else very important, says Dr. Shekler, and that is the fact that our organism can successfully fight every day with a small amount of coronavirus, a few dozen, up to a few hundred, without getting sick.
Immunity
-And, as time passes, and you ingest that small number of coronavirus particles every day or every few days and your immunity easily defeats them, then your body feels more capable and stronger and fights the coronavirus more and more successfully. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the coronavirus to infect it. This is what is called "herd immunity". At the same time, that would be my explanation of the so-called "Madrid miracle", that is, the inexplicable decline in the number of newly infected and seriously ill people in Madrid, although preventive measures in that city are "weakened" and everything works until midnight - he points out. this happens when the proportion of people in a population who have been in contact with small amounts of coronavirus is close to 50 percent of the total population.
- Practically, the coronavirus then finds it increasingly "difficult" to find new, healthy and susceptible individuals, who have never had contact with the coronavirus before. Such a scenario will probably be seen more and more often in the world, even in Serbia. Maybe it will happen in our country somewhere in the middle of December, at the latest by the New Year - that scientist finished.
