Covid care caused the fall of other respiratory diseases
The habits of social isolation, the use of a mask and the increase in personal hygiene adopted in the wake of the pandemic led to a significant drop in other respiratory diseases in the country, experts told “Estadão”. In 2020, the country had virtually no “flu season.”
The number of occurrences of severe respiratory syndromes caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the most common between March and June, fell by 76.4% between January and August of this year compared to the average of the last three years in the same months. Flu cases also plummeted, a reduction of 62.2%. The numbers are from the Infogripe system, from Fiocruz.
Vehicles gather to obtain information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but recent attitudes from the authorities and the president himself question the availability of the data and its veracity.
