The number of cases of coronavirus pneumonia is approaching two million worldwide, and all countries are trying to minimize losses from this pandemic. But among the many factors that determine the measure of success in this confrontation, the first place, according to the world's leading experts, is not so much the early detection of infected people, not their treatment by highly qualified medical personnel using the most modern technologies, equipment and Pharmacopoeia, but physical isolation, a large-scale effective system of quarantine measures among the population. Among those who violate the quarantine, there are many young people who believe that the elderly are seriously ill and dying. But this is not the case. Young people also get sick, although not so hard and much less often with a fatal outcome. But even young people suffer from lungs, because of fibrosis of the pulmonary parenchyma, the functional capabilities of the respiratory system and the body as a whole are significantly reduced. We need to talk more and write about it in social networks.
