Health professionals say that worrying about Kovid-1 will not help you go through the epidemic. And neither novel will treat coronavirus, a highly anticipated disease for which there is no 100% successful therapeutic cure, with nothing less than extreme caution.
In short, it affects everyone differently.
President Trump was released from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday and told the nation after his release, “Don’t be afraid of it.” Many “long hulers,” meanwhile, pointed out on Twitter that they had been suffering from coronavirus-related health problems for months after diagnosis.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the past three decades, told CNN on Monday night that “he seemed to be in very good condition” after Trump was released from the hospital, but noted the “opposite” potential in his condition in the coming days. (Fauki said he was not involved in Trump’s care.)
“The point is that it’s still an early stage in the disease. It’s no secret that if you look at people’s clinical course, sometimes when you’re five to eight days old you can make a change.” “It’s not likely to happen, but they need to make a head for it. They know it, the doctors know it. So they’re keeping an eye on it; they’re trying to do it by staying within the limits of the White House in opposition to the hospital.”
“
‘Covid is a complete threat to the American population.’
”
The world still has a lot to learn about the novel coronavirus – and that alone, experts say, should be enough to motivate communities to work together to slow its progress. Scientists do not advise collective hysteria, but they do not believe that doing business in general is a wise move.
Dr. David of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “COVID is a complete threat to the American population,” David Ness told the Associated Press. “Most people are not so lucky as president,” he said, citing Trump’s extensive medical team and access to trial treatment.
Governments around the world are struggling to contain the spread of the disease. (An epidemic is a disease that infects regions or communities.) The “Spanish flu” from 1918 to 1919 and the Black Death from 1347 to 1351 are the two most extreme epidemics reported so far.
By Tuesday, the coronavirus had spread to the U.S., according to figures collected by Johns Hopkins University. At least 210,487 people were killed in, and there were 7,477,936 confirmed cases. Worldwide, there are 35,622,409 confirmed cases of the virus and 1,046,153 people have died.
In his address to the nation, posted on Twitter TWTR,
On Monday evening, Trump said, “Maybe I’m immune.” Immunity usually does not involve showing any symptoms for the disease and, in the case of COVID-19, does not require oxygen and hospitalization.
Here are five reasons why people should be vigilant, according to doctors and scientists:
President Trump slammed into the back of a car in a car outside the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda on Sunday night. He returned to the White House on Monday.
1. There is no vaccine
There is no vaccine for COVID-19. If and / or when one is available, it is unlikely to be delivered to the general public until mid-2021, according to multiple estimates. Frontline workers, people with preexisting conditions and the elderly will probably be first in line.
In addition, humans have not developed immunity over many generations. The first vaccine can be 40% effective, and is delivered while the world awaits a more successful vaccine. The measles vaccine is the most effective, providing 97% immunity.
However, Fau Ki said that depending on other vaccines for various diseases, the optimal condition for the COVID-19 vaccine would be 70% to 75% effective.
To put it in perspective: reviews of past studies have found that, on average, the flu vaccine is about 50% to 60% effective for healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 64, according to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic. .
AstraZeneca AZN,
; Biotech SE BNTX,
And Pfizer PFE,
; GlaxoSmithKline GSK,
; Johnson and Johnson J.N.J.
; Merck Merck,
; Modern mRNA,
And Sanofi San,
All are working on one vaccine.

2. Covid-19 is highly contagious
As the latest incident at the White House’s Rose Garden suggests, the community spread, could also be outside. COVID-19 is highly contagious by invisible drops in the air, it is spread by talking, breathing and coughing. Public health experts advise people to be mindful and vigilant.
This is more necessary as more children go to school. A recent study published in Pediatrics suggests that children can spread SARS-COVID-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, even if they never develop symptoms or long after symptoms become apparent.
A separate systematic review estimated that 16% of children with SARS-Cavi-2 infection are pathological, but evidence suggests that the U.S. Department of Disease Control and Prevention According to the centers, about 45% of pediatric infections are pathological.
According to Gregory Poland, who studied immunogenetics of vaccine response in adults and children at the Mayo Clinic, even muscleless joggers can leave a “dot slip” beyond 30 feet in their footsteps. “The virus can’t measure,” he said.

The. The virus works strangely
According to research published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology in August, the body’s genes appear to be a major factor in the entry of SARS-COV-access into heart cells.
What’s more, “inflammation can be more intense in the elderly, causing organ damage,” Johns Hopkins University reports. “Lung tissue becomes less resilient over time, creating respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, a particular concern for the elderly,” the university said.
Adult patients may respond to COVID-19 with an overactive adaptive immune response that may promote inflammation associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, a severe form of lung damage now associated with severe COVID-19 cases, health professionals say. .
Doctors today attribute this phenomenon to “cytokine storm” or hypersocytokinemia, a process where the immune system reacts so strongly in healthy people that the growth of immune cells and their activated compounds (cytokines) effectively reverses the body.

4. Untold numbers of people are asymptomatic
Fukey said in July that in the 40 years since the viral outbreak, he had not seen anything like COWID-19, especially the lonely one that helped lead to the biggest public-health crisis in the country.
“I’ve never seen a single virus – a pathogen – with 20% to 40% of people having no symptoms.” Fawcett said during a hearing on the Trump administration’s response to the House and Commerce House committees. Epidemic.
The World Health Organization currently estimates that 16% of people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic and can be infected with coronavirus, while other data show that 40% of coronavirus infections are caused by carriers who do not show symptoms of the disease.
A recent study from the University of California, San Francisco found that the SARS-Cavi-2 shed is very high in the upper respiratory tract, even in pre-therapeutic patients, “which distinguishes it from SARS-Cavi-1, where replication occurs. Mainly in the lower respiratory tract. ”
A recent study in the European Respiratory Journal found that the virus can attack enzymes in the nose as a gateway to the body, which is why some people with Covid-19 lose their sense of smell. It is also a way different from coronavirus flu. (Photo: Getty Images / Marketwatch Photomontage.)
5. Flu season is approaching
In the winter, people move indoors, the flu season is approaching, and doctors understandably worry that the “tiny disease” influenza and Covid-19 are not tolerated by both antibiotics and have almost identical symptoms: fever, cough, Sweating and fatigue at night.
Lewis Strosky, a member of the American Society of Infectious Diseases, said humans have “flock immunity” to the flu. “When there are enough people in the community who are immune, it protects people who are not immune.” He has the flu, but not Kovid-19.
Covid-19 and the flu can lead to fever, but have a dry cough in the past and it causes loss of sense of smell and taste, and even severe fatigue. Flu symptoms are usually characterized by a runny nose, sore throat, cough, aches and pains and the onset of a cold.
In July, Fauqi told Marketwatch that people should think twice before eating inside a restaurant. “It’s worse than the outside of the building,” he said. “There’s no magic in six feet,” said Ryan Malosh, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
“We need to get through this fall and winter and get through it,” said Fauqi, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist working on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic. Harvard Medical School last month.
AIDS, he reminded people, infected 76 million people worldwide and killed 33 million people with the virus.
“We’re coming before this, too,” Fausi added. “Never underestimate the potential for epidemics. And don’t pay attention to the roses of things. ”
