According to the expert, metapneumovirus is actually not as deadly as the coronavirus. He noted that after a pandemic, any virus can cause panic, but hMPV is not a “lethal virus”.
Chepurnov emphasized that this disease is transmitted by airborne droplets or by shaking hands, but it is not fatal. It does not lead to serious consequences, but babies and the elderly suffer more seriously.
Also for medicine, metapneumovirus is not unknown. This nosological form has been studied since the 2000s.
