COVID-19 Pandemic: The Causative Agent is New, the Problem is Old

Abstract

The development of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has not only significantly changed the usual routine of life, but also contributed to the spread of feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. Today, no one can hope for a quick recovery and a favorable outcome in the case of COVID-19, even in the most advanced health systems. On the contrary, many developed countries, such as the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and others, with excellent medical resources by modern standards, are among the leaders in the list of morbidity and mortality from coronavirus infection. The main cause of the negative consequences of SARS-COV-2 is viral pneumonia, and it is quite natural that one of the main tasks facing medicine today is to find effective ways to treat COVID-19 pneumonia.
