[Compiling Chen Chengliang/Comprehensive Report]There is also competition between viruses. Scientists already know that some viruses will compete with other viruses in order to become “winners” that can cause infections. The Correspondence Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Petr Chumakov pointed out that cold patients will not be infected with the Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) virus. The reason is that interferon is produced in the body of cold patients, which can protect the body from Secondary infection.
Chumakov is also the principal investigator of the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow. According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency (Sputnik) on the 20th, Chumakov explained that a patient will not be infected with another virus at the same time because interferon is produced in the body.

Chumakov said, “Interferon is an antiviral protein that can protect the body from secondary infections.”
However, he reminded that there is still a risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus after recovery. Since the body will become weak due to the first infection, the virus may invade more severely.
Previously, scientists at the University of Glasgow in the UK also discovered that the rhinovirus that causes the common cold can effectively drive the COVID-19 virus out of human cells.
Similar situations have happened before. For example, a large-scale rhinovirus outbreak may have delayed the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in parts of Europe.
Further experiments have shown that rhinovirus can induce an immune response in infected cells, thereby preventing the ability of the COVID-19 virus to replicate. However, once the cold has passed and the immune response has calmed down, the COVID-19 virus may cause infection again.
