Corona Virus

CoronaVirus

Coronavirus has been nominated SarsCov-2 and it is one of the few viruses created in a lab. Was this on purpose? I wouldn’t e x c l u d e t h e possibility. Some viruses come about a n d o t h e r s a r e d e v e l o p e d b y modifi cations due to re s ea rc h a n d o t h e r factors. How this virus generates is not very important from a healthcare point of view. The importance of its genesis is merely for investigation purposes. It is important to understand that modifying a virus is a very simple procedure and there are patents that actually protect these methods, this is of interest to us right now when working on the Coronavirus. Researchers are aware of various strains, some that may provoke diseases from a simple flu to pneumonias. The new virus shares multiple characteristics with the previous ones. Is it deadly? there is no data that indicates a mortality rate significantly different from that of a simple flu. It is important to point out that those who thus far have died, did so “with” Coronavirus not from Coronavirus. This is a big difference. These people were advanced in age with Francesca Riga

severe health complications. A simple cold could have led to their death. Blaming coronavirus for their death is exaggerated and strange. Let’s define this a health care satire and let us not go further thus not involving a certain level of ignorance and fraud. Quite an expensive satire and this is one of the aspects where I ask myself a number of questions. There are many types of pneumonias going around that do not seem to respond to medicines and a certain level of homeostasis that we all process to some degree. The patients who have been cured become case studies. Another question is why is it that a few months ago there were simulations of a theoretical epidemic deriving from coronavirus that would have causes 60 million deaths in the world? Why were thousands of Americans in Wuhan right before the epidemic started? And why is it that passengers of that city’s airport were sprayed with an aerosol whose nature is unknow? All of this right before the virus appeared. The regression of the virus is a long way away and it is possible only by limiting social contact this is the only way to sow down the virus and to avid not only death but the collapse of hospitals. Cases in Italy are estimated to double every 2.6 days a very

high number but all in all we are facing a pandemic type of virus. It is fundamental not to reach level 3 where the restricted locus spread and create a total epidemic. Today it seems that Italy is the most effected country but it is only a matter of time. The government is working on nation idle rules of discipline and soon we will see the same trend across Europe and the USA.

Results will start minimum after 3 weeks of following the measures adopted to avoid contamination and therefore a great sense of responsibility is needed on behalf of citizens. The virus will stay among us for the next two or three months, the we will reach it’s peak

and contaminations will start to slow down causing the epidemic to decrease. This will lead us to think that we have come out of the situation but this is where we are wrong because only after a considerable amount of the populations has been infected will we have reached “immunity” thus limiting the epidemic. At this point the coronavirus will be classified as a seasonal flu. Its spread is less than that of the flu. Today it expands because it is unknown to our immune system thus strategy and patience are the keys to defeat it.
