1 – Do genetic factors affect Covid-19?
There is no scientific data on this subject. 35 scientific delegations are researching this topic genetically in 22 countries. Studies in the U.S. and Sweden have shown the existence of people who offer absolute resistance to the HIV virus. These people did not become ill despite unprotected sexual intercourse and drug needle sharing. Therefore, it remains to be investigated whether there are genes that provide resistance or trend against Covid-19. Some scientists claim that genetic factors have an impact on the severe course of the disease.
2 – Are blood groups important in Covid-19?
Studies on this subject continue. In studies conducted on 2,200 Covid-19 patients in China, it was shown that the disease was milder in the 0 blood group and the disease was more severe in the A blood group. However, since the number of participants is low, the reliability of this result is low.

3 – Is it more severe in asthma patients?
There are data about Covid-19 disease progressing less and milder in patients with asthma, whose frequency of incidence varies from society to society, but which is generally found with a rate of 10-15 percent. It can be said that the risk does not increase in patients with asthma who do not use drugs that suppress the immune system but use normal inhaler drugs.
4 – Is this virus produced in the laboratory?
Scientific studies show that this virus is not developed in a laboratory environment, but as a result of natural evolution. Many studies on this subject have been published in important journals. One should not believe in conspiracy theories. The genetic structure of the virus is largely similar to viruses in bats and pangolins. There are also about 500 other corona viruses in bats. Outbreaks from these viruses can be expected in the future.
5 – Does it affect only those with cancer and chronic disease?
Covid-19 affects people with this disease, men and the elderly more. However, diabetes and the disease is severe in those with HbA1C higher than 9 and those with obesity.
6 – Does it pass through food, sachet, package, sea and pool?
Covid-19 passes through droplets with a probability of 90 percent. Being in crowded, closed, stuffy places is a risk factor. There is no definitive scientific data indicating that the disease passes through food, sachet, package, sea and pool water. However, it is useful to ventilate the packaged products and disinfect them. Even if the disease is not transmitted from the pool and sea water, the virus can be transmitted from a sick person with close contact in the sea and the pool.
7 – Covid-19 is transmitted from animal to human?
In an important scientific study published in the journal Nature in March, there is scientific information that if the virus has completed its natural evolution, it can pass from animals to humans, and if it has completed its natural evolution from humans, it will not pass from animals to humans. Important data was shared about the passage from mink to people. If this is true, it can be passed from other animals to humans.
