The immune system can “forget” past infections, including coronavirus, as a result of measles amnesia. This was stated in an interview with radio Sputnik by Doctor of Medical Sciences Bella Shamgunova.

“Not everyone, but some people who have had measles can develop what is called post-measles immunosuppression. That is, the measles virus can infect T- and B-lymphocytes – these are cells that store the memory of previous infections, previous vaccinations. Measles suppresses these memory cells, depletes them, erases them, so a person who has had measles further loses his immune repertoire, which protected him from other infections, ”she noted.

According to the latest data, 180,071 people were confirmed coronavirus per day in Russia. The total number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic is 15,020,573.

198 thousand 369 people were cured per day (185,082 a day earlier). During the pandemic, 12,026,844 people recovered from the disease.

784 people died due to coronavirus per day (790 a day earlier), for all the time 343 thousand 957 became victims of coronavirus.

18,632 people were hospitalized per day, 18,090 a day earlier.
