01:03at least this virus is and you know people are worried they are doing
01:07comparison with the covid how this virus is different does it exist since long in
01:11India see first of all I would like to say let's not compare this with covid
01:1719 because covid virus was entirely a new virus and none of us had immunity
01:22against this but this virus has been described clearly since 2001 and in fact
01:27there are evidence that this virus has been with us way back from late 1950s so
01:32I don't think there is any need to worry about this virus because by the age of
01:3610 years of 10 10 years of age majority of children have immunity against this
01:41particular virus so what I'm trying to say that covid-19 was entirely different
01:47thing and this particular virus it's not a new virus and I don't think we should
01:50be panicking because of that so this winter season I will say it's it's a
02:04season of exchanging gifts it's a season of holidays it's season of
02:09traveling and exchanging of gift and at the same time we also exchange these
02:14type of infection because these virus are very common during this season the
02:18reason being of course the cold air the cold air which which is a very usually
02:25dry and that helps in transmission of viruses apart from that of course we all
02:29try to stay indoors in closed environment so that that is again
02:34something which promotes the exchange of these viruses among individuals so that's
02:39why I say this is a season where we see a lot of cold flu type of illnesses that
02:45is nothing new and majority of these are caused by viruses and the good thing
02:49about these respiratory viruses these are self-limiting diseases so they will
02:53respond the body will take care of its own and we usually don't have to give
02:58specific treatment of course symptomatic treatment say for fever you may have to
03:02use paracetamol for cough you may require medicine for cough but specific
03:08antiviral or antibiotic is not required in majority of these cases unless some
03:13secondary infection happens of course that is something which our doctor has
03:16to take a call so I will all I will say these are self-limiting diseases which
03:21body will take care on its own
03:25HPMV virus is basically a care type of virus and how different is it from COVID?
03:31Because there are such studies that it is already present in India and many other countries
03:35so a fear has arisen about this virus basically what is it and what are its symptoms?
03:42See, this virus should not be compared to the virus of COVID-19.
03:46The SARS-CoV-2 that came was an entirely new virus.
03:49None of us had immunity against it.
03:52That's why it spread rapidly and made a lot of people sick.
03:56This is a human metamorphosis virus.
03:58It has been around for a long time.
04:00Though it was described in 2001 in the Netherlands but we have evidence that
04:05it has been affecting humans since the late 1950s and there is enough evidence that
04:10by the age of 10 years maximum children have immunity against it and people can get
04:16infected but if you have immunity from the beginning then it never takes the form of
04:19a severe disease.
04:21So, it is very unlikely that this virus infection, the chaos that people have created,
04:27the panic that people have created, it does not have the capacity to behave like COVID-19
04:33unless there is a mutation that we do not know about and there are no chances of it.
04:37So, I would say that in this season, the normal cold, flu, especially due to influenza,
04:44Rhinovirus, RSV virus, these are the things that are commonly affected.
04:49All these viruses, viral illnesses are usually self-limiting.
04:55There is no need of any specific treatment except for symptomatic treatment.
