Terrible observation of KSC pulmonology's head: Virus has mutated, it wasn't like this in spring Dragica Ranković 3-4 minutes _____ 24/11/20 | 09:41 ≫ 09:43 Her opinion is based on the fact that patients have bilateral pneumonia and almost all require oxygen therapy Photo: Tanjug/AP The director of the Clinic for Pulmonology of the Clinical Center of Serbia (KSC), Violeta Mihailovic Vucinic, said this morning that coronavirus has mutated <https://www.telegraf.rs/teme/mutation> because in this wave, forms of the disease are seen that doctors had not seen in the spring. "We opened for Covid on Friday at noon, by Saturday night we were full. I had to check out the clinic as far as free beds for Covid go. The clinic has 175 beds, of which we have 14 ventilators, we also brought in 15 more. It's very crowded and the clinic is full," she told RTS <https://www.rts.rs/page/stories/sr/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81/story/3134/koronavirus-u-srbiji/4161080/koronavirus-srbija-mere#shortStory-84241> . She pointed out that she does not believe anyone will be sent home today. "What I could conclude is my personal opinion based on the situation I see, is that this wave is so serious and more terrifying than in the spring. These are some forms of the disease, with bilateral pneumonia, all of which effectively require oxygen therapy. I think that the virus has mutated, because these are the forms of the disease that have not been seen so far, last spring it was not like this," she said and added that the clinic has patients aged 20, 30 all the way to those born in 1923: "We have a 97-year-old grandpa." She says she does not believe that patients come late. "People are already prepared, as soon as they get a fever, they report to a Covid clinic. I think the virus has definitely mutated and is creating such severe forms of the disease. I don't know if people will have symptoms on their lungs after the disease. Those from the previous wave, 15 to 20 percent of them, had changes in their lungs, but I don't know what will happen now," said Mihailovic Vucinic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
