Investigations into monkeypox cases Following the reporting of cases of monkeypox in several countries such as Great Britain, Spain, Portugal and Italy, researchers try to understand how the infections of this virus defined as rather unusual occur. The symptoms are fever, itching on the skin with the formation of blisters and usually the pathology resolves favorably, but in Congo it comes to ten percent of deaths due to a more severe African strain; then there is talk of a West African strain with a low fatality percentage that would be the one recently monitored in Great Britain. In general it is the infected liquids that cause the contagion of the virus identified in monkeys in 1958 (hence the name) even if rodents would be among the main causes of transmission. It is unlikely that vast epidemics will occur as happened with Covid-19, but must still be very careful. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    May 20, 2022              n°:   5031       Increase in Covid-19 contagion cases in North Korea It is estimated that the cases of contagion by SARS-CoV-2 virus in North Korea are over one million seven hundred thousand, at least since the country's media statement that had declared the first case last week; so the authorities talk about negligence and how the health crisis has not been adequately addressed. Lately there have been reports of almost two hundred and thirty-three thousand cases of a so-called fever (probably an Omicron variant) and sixty-two victims with a health system rated among the worst in the world. To report changing the subject but remaining on health issues that the cases of pediatric hepatitis reported in the world could always be due to Covid-19 that weakens the immune system of children and perhaps with consequent inflammation of the liver even if these are only hypotheses that require further research. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    May 18, 2022                         n°:   5029       Omicron variant perhaps as severe as others Although there are studies that indicate the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant less severe although more contagious than other variants, the researchers state that it is intrinsically severe as the previous ones having verified how the risk of hospitalizations and mortality would be almost identical in the two periods compared depending on the variant taken into account and comorbidities; however, there are several limitations represented by the number of patients vaccinated in the various waves of the Covid-19 virus and the actual total number of infections (patients who used home diagnostic kits with rapid tests were excluded). It should be noted by changing the subject that in Beijing the health authorities have closed dozens of metro stations and suppressed bus rides to prevent the virus from spreading in the metropolis and avoid what happened in Shanghai where the quarantine has lasted for more than a month. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    May 05, 2022                         n°:   5018       Cases of pediatric hepatitis under observation After the increase in cases of pediatric hepatitis in the world, at least two hundred and twenty-eight in twenty countries (especially in Europe), international health authorities are raising the level of attention on this pathology of unknown origin that proves in children jaundice, gastrointestinal symptoms sometimes with abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. Some say that in reality the cases are not increasing and simply more episodes of this type are monitored; but there have also been serious consequences to the point of forcing to liver transplants and at least one death. To be noted by changing the subject by shifting attention to other health issues the so-called epidemic of overweight and obesity that in Europe would cause over one million and two hundred thousand victims every year; obese individuals have typically increased by one hundred and thirty-eight percent in fifty years. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    May 04, 2022                         n°:   5017       New viruses linked to climate change It is hypothesized that thousands of new viruses could spread among animal species by 2070 due to climate change and consequently infectious diseases will emerge that will pass from animals to humans, especially in Africa and Asia (as already happened for some infectious diseases including Covid-19). The scenario simulating a global warming of two degrees Celsius, which according to recent studies is possible, was used by researchers with models to monitor over three thousand species of mammals that could migrate and spread viruses in the next fifty years; particularly under observation are bats about these cross-infections. To report changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues such as Taiwan, which was previously relatively little affected by the 19-nCoV pandemic, would have monitored a record of eleven thousand cases of contagion in one day. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 29, 2022                         n°:   5013       Increase in measles cases in the world Millions of children are at risk for non-Covid diseases due to lack of vaccinations caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic and in particular the researchers would have monitored an increase in measles cases in the world of almost eighty percent, so much so as to turn on a kind of red light in figurative terms at the health level. Seventeen thousand three hundred cases in January and February compared with the same months of last year would demonstrate the weakening of the immunization system with regard to measles, a disease that can have serious consequences on the health especially of children; then yellow fever could be the next pathology, at least from the data monitored in West Africa. It should also be noted that the conflict in Ukraine makes it very difficult to keep under control any pathology in the country (very worrying among other things the threat of use of unknown tactical weapons). e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 28, 2022                         n°:   5012       Human case of bird flu in China For the moment there would be a low risk of large-scale transmission in the population of H3N8 avian influenza after the first case in Henan province was confirmed in a four-year-old child, at least according to statements by Chinese health authorities who say that the infection occurred through direct contact with birds, probably wild ducks; then they advise to stay away from dead or sick birds as a precaution as well as resorting to immediate care in case of fever or respiratory problems. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that researchers hypothesize for cases of acute pediatric hepatitis (particularly affected in Great Britain) that prolonged quarantines to contain the SARS-CoV-2 virus could have weakened the immune system of children or perhaps it is a mutation of a virus yet to be identified. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 27, 2022                         n°:   5011       Mass n-CoV test in Beijing China The Chinese health authorities are struggling to keep under control the infections from Omicron subvariants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and in Shanghai despite the strict quarantine there are fifty-one victims, then in Beijing the mass tests on citizens have caused panic for fear of having to remain confined to the house and long queues have formed to stock up on food. The nineteen cases monitored lately added to some previously detected are many for the so-called zero-Covid strategy with consequent quarantine risk for the capital of the country, while containment measures against infections have already been adopted. To be noted by completely changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues the investigation launched by researchers on cases of acute pediatric hepatitis of unknown origin (are talking about one hundred and sixty-nine cases in the world), perhaps the adenovirus could play a role. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 25, 2022                         n°:   5009       COVID-19 infections on the rise in Italy There would be over two hundred victims in one day due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus with a peak of almost one hundred thousand infections and increasing percentage of positivity, particularly affected the Campania region where the health authorities have warned to maintain the containment measures against the virus given the many hospitalizations perhaps also due to less attention in the use of masks and distancing. In Veneto region there is talk of a new Omicron subvariant different from the "Xe - Xj", but defined as not worrying, while in Lombardy region many doctors denounce emotional exhaustion failing to manage the emergency. To be noted shifting attention to India a significant increase in victims lately in Kerala, then in the world in total since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic over six million five hundred thousand victims (but with data that some say underestimated). e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 21, 2022                         n°:   5006       Other Omicron n-Cov sub-variants identified The viruses are constantly mutating and also for the SARS-CoV-2 virus other sub-variants called BA.4 and BA.5 (for the moment a few dozen cases) of the very contagious Omicron variant would have been identified and international organizations try to understand what is their possible ability to escape the defenses of the immune system or circumvent the protective antibody barrier enhanced by vaccines. The BA.2 sub-variant still represents ninety-four percent of cases is very contagious but generally does not cause serious pathologies although it is advisable to be very careful not to get infected with masks and distancing especially for fragile individuals, then some say that containment measures remain fundamental to avoid for example that a Covid-19 variant can form with the contagiousness characteristics of Omicron and the dangerousness of Delta. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 12, 2022                         n°:   4999       Subvariant Omicron n-Cov at Shanghai Chinese health authorities suspect that the peak of more than twenty thousand infections detected in one day in the metropolis of Shanghai monitored despite the total quarantine of the city was due to a very contagious mutation of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus identified near Shanghai. This is the highest daily peak since the beginning of the pandemic in Wuhan although in this case there are no victims; then most people apparently are asymptomatic, but some complain about the lack of fresh foods. The whole country supports the effort to have a blocked metropolis, partially minimizing the losses that can be linked to the so-called zero-Covid strategy. Of note shifting attention to Italy that is estimated one every four people have been infected, there is talk of a certain relaxation in containment measures; over one hundred and sixty thousand victims. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 07, 2022                         n°:   4995       Increase of n-Cov infections in Great Britain The relaxation of containment measures in Great Britain, where it seems that masks are no longer used even indoors, are favoring the increase in infections from SARS-CoV-2 virus so much so that it is estimated that one in thirteen people would be positive if subjected to a diagnostic kit with swab, then in the last week the monitored number of infected people has greatly increased compared to the previous one with consequent hospitalizations and deaths (although to a lesser extent, overall, compared to the beginning of the year). There is talk of cases in which two variants of the Covid-19 virus have been found in the same person and some speak of a kind of new crossed "Xe" subvariant. It should be noted that even in other countries such as Italy the severity of containment measures has been somewhat relaxed, but the virus continues to circulate and can be dangerous for fragile individuals. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Apr 04, 2022                         n°:   4992       Shanghai quarantine for n-Cov infections increase The Chinese health authorities would have decided to adopt a quarantine for the metropolis of twenty-six million people of Shanghai in two phases due to an increase in asymptomatic infections from monitored SARS-CoV-2 viruses, there is talk of the initiative of greatest impact on the population since the beginning of the pandemic two years ago and there is no shortage of complaints from some about the costs and restrictions imposed by the so-called zero Covid strategy (in practice the rest of the country is called to meet the various needs). The big city has been split in two for a few days along the Huangpu River closing bridges, tunnels and road links to allow mass tests with diagnostic kits. Of note by shifting attention to Singapore that to relaunch tourism essential for the country's economy it was decided to reopen after two years the doors to tourists despite there is in theory a zero-Covid strategy. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 31, 2022                         n°:   4989       New wave of n-Cov infections in Europe Due to the Omicron variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, especially the BA.2 which is proving to be very contagious, and a lower attention of containment measures against infections is spoken of a new wave of Covid-19 infections in Europe with a sharp increase in cases monitored lately in Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Controversy over how some health authorities have decided to move to a phase of greater freedom for the population that could lead some people to underestimate the risks of a possible contagion, while for example Austria reproposes the use of FFP2 masks. The end of the pandemic is far away, at least according to international organizations that fear the appearance of new variants favored by a relaxation of the threshold of attention to a virus that tends to adapt better and better to the world population. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 23, 2022                         n°:   4982       Many cases of n-Cov contagion in South Korea South Korea is recording with over four hundred thousand and then over six hundred thousand cases of contagion a record number in two days a record number of daily cases of contagion, the highest in twenty-eight days of any other country in the world regarding antigen tests carried out by special personnel. There is also talk of four hundred and twenty-nine victims yesterday therefore with a rapidly worsening health situation not only from the point of view of the monitored infections. To be reported by changing the subject but shifting attention to other scenarios the spread in Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France of Omicron subvariants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but for the moment without a clear increase in victims in part thanks to the fairly high vaccination coverage that generally allows in case of contagion to avoid getting seriously ill. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 18, 2022                         n°:   4978       Shenzhen n-Cov quarantine in China To try to control an outbreak of infections in Shenzhen the health authorities would have decided on a quarantine for the seventeen million inhabitants in the metropolis in southern China and containment measures have also been imposed in Shanghai and other large cities for what is called the zero Covid strategy (in practice vast quarantines and immediate mass tests), but some say that this method has reached the limit of its potential effectiveness. The Omicron variant causes fewer deaths and perhaps the strategy could eventually be changed. Of note by changing the subject the increase in the number of infections monitored lately in France and Italy probably due to the BA.2 omicron variant. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 14, 2022                         n°:   4974       Towards the third year of n-Cov pandemic A few days after what is officially the start date of the third year of the pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, some researchers point out that in many cases for entire populations living conditions have changed negatively due to anxiety, stress and worries even if lately sometimes are returning to a partial normality with greater mobility and fewer containment measures especially for vaccinated people. The victims so far reported by the health authorities of the various countries of the world would be over six million, but it is estimated that they may actually be between over fourteen and almost twenty-four million. Among the countries that for example denounce fewer victims of the real ones, is talk about Mexico (five hundred thousand instead of three hundred thousand) and India (probably millions instead of five hundred thousand), then Africa remains almost an enigma. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 10, 2022                         n°:   4971       Symptoms after months in a third of n-Cov cases A research carried out in Denmark would have found various health symptoms such as in particular problems with the senses of smell and taste and fatigue (in addition to sleep disorders, cognitive, difficulty breathing) in almost a third of people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus six to twelve months after infection. The study had been launched before the arrival of the Omicron variant from September 2020 to April 2021 and was based on the responses to a questionnaire of over sixty thousand people tested positive with Covid-19 diagnostic kit six, nine, twelve months before compared with over ninety thousand tested negative; almost thirty percent of the first group complained at least one health problem against thirteen of the second. To be noted by changing the subject and shifting attention to Italy an increase lately in infections due to the BA.2 omicron variant. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 09, 2022                         n°:   4970       Doses of n-Cov vaccine sometimes unused It has already happened since the beginning of the pandemic that many doses of Covid-19 vaccine have remained unused and now apparently in South Africa about one hundred thousand doses of a well-known mRNA vaccine are likely to expire by the end of the month, despite the country being the most affected by the number of infections and deaths on the African continent. Forty-three percent of vaccinated adults are currently being talked about in South Africa as authorities try to encourage people who are still hesitant. Attempts are being made to achieve seventy percent vaccinations worldwide in June in order to keep the pandemic under control, but this goal is perhaps difficult to achieve. It should be noted that the containment measures against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus would have led to a "strange" decrease in the number of Dengue cases monitored in 2020 in twenty-three countries. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 05, 2022                         n°:   4967       Living with many difficulties with Covid-19 There is no alternative for many nations than to try to live with the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, but some warn of the danger that comes from the imbalance in the percentage of vaccinations administered in various countries that could lead to having to face new variants of the virus, so vaccinations should be increased in the most vulnerable areas of the world; for example in Africa there is only talk of thirteen percent of people vaccinated (against a target of seventy needed by mid-year). Many people complain of stress and mental problems after being infected, then those with health with the Omicron variant for diabetic patients. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues the need for the intervention of international organizations to prevent that conflicts at nuclear power plants turning into a risk for the whole world. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Mar 04, 2022                         n°:   4966       Omicron nCoV variant in Brazil and South Korea The authorities of Brazil would have monitored one hundred and thirty-seven thousand cases of contagion with one thousand one hundred and twenty-eight victims verifying how the omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is spreading rapidly in the country with inevitable health consequences, then at the end of January a record of two hundred and twenty thousand infections had been recorded. As for South Korea the trend of infections is worrying with peaks of over one hundred thousand cases recorded (which for this country is a fairly high number) and forecasts of further rapid increases even if, for the moment, the pressure on the health system remains substantially low. It should be noted by changing the subject that the third vaccine dose called "booster" should according to some maintain high even after a few months the effectiveness of protection, at least of the immunological memory, which can be useful to avoid a possible fatal cytokine storm. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Feb 18, 2022                         n°:   4953       Managing stress from nCoV variations restrictions Moving from a containment phase against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with various restrictive measures to one with greater freedom could cause stress in more sensitive individuals who must try to manage it by keeping it under control (possibly with relaxation techniques, slow breathing, physical exercise and meditation); while for the majority of the population it easily adapts to the new condition it is advisable that it continues to be careful because the virus continues to circulate. Some say that without masks for example it is also easier to infect pets that can be affected by the infection (the passage in the opposite direction is quite rare). It should be noted that in Italy the unhealthy quota of one hundred and fifty thousand victims in total has been exceeded and in the world they would be almost five million and eight hundred thousand since the beginning of the pandemic. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Feb 11, 2022                         n°:   4947       To reduce the exposure to nCov virus variants Taking measures to reduce the exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus whichever variant is circulating even if less pathogenic is important to ensure that it cannot evolve further, at least according to international health organizations that would have monitored in fifty-seven countries the presence of a sub-variant of Omicron that some studies indicate as more contagious (with less health consequences than Delta, but we have to take into account of the high number of potential infections). The omicron variant apparently can count on various sub-variants with mutations also on the spike protein, such as extroflexions or crown hooks that the virus exploits to spread.

This consideration was quite evident in the United States where more than half of the population suffers from at least one disease, at least according to the researchers making comparisons with a large part of the world's population that often seems to enjoy better health conditions. The effects of Covid infection are systemic and affect all organs and there is no shortage of cases of sepsis and severe damage to the kidneys that could have a plausible biological explanation. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 31, 2022                         n°:   4937       Don't underestimate other nCov variants It is difficult to hypothesize that the pandemic is ending with a wide spread in the world population of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, at least according to international health organizations that warn that a new more aggressive variant could also arrive in the future. In Great Britain where even the mask is no longer mandatory the virus continues to circulate, some say mainly under trace, then the subvariant omicron BA.2 poses questions on which researchers are still investigating (it seems to be even more contagious than BA.1 in addition, partly, to the ability to overcome the vaccination barrier and to lower the reliability of rapid diagnostic kits).

There are fears of an exodus of the population, especially of people in the financial sector who can no longer operate easily; then some complain about the lack of effectiveness of local vaccines and expect a next mRNA version (always of Chinese production). It should be noted by shifting attention to other scenarios that France has been recording for some days of the records of infections even over half a million a day due to the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant, while the situation in Italy is not much better with over four hundred victims a day. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 27, 2022                         n°:   4933       Questions about the future of Omicron contagion Epidemiological models predict that community immunity is likely to be possible in the near future with the spread of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the population, but some researchers are advancing the question of what is the price to pay in the face of the end of the pandemic regarding any systemic health issues. This consideration derives from the observation that many people many months after a first Covid infection (mainly of the previous variants of the virus) continue to complain of disorders even of a certain severity; then there is no shortage of studies that show an increase in cases of diabetes and neurological disorders related to the spread of the pandemic. An increase in chronic diseases is expected in the coming years and consequently a heavy burden on already struggling health systems. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 25, 2022                         n°:   4931       Considerations on the fourth nCoV booster dose Some countries already provide a fourth dose of booster vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus for example for immunocompromised people, but on the advisability of administering this "booster" there would be conflicting opinions; in fact; there is sometimes talk of excessive boosters that could stress the immune system and how the third dose could have a fairly long protective duration or others who say that the Omicron variant for its ability to bypass the vaccination barrier requires another recall. Meanwhile the authorities of Great Britain declare that they have achieved herd immunity after having recently monitored a drop of about forty percent in infections, but even for this case some say that it is a decision perhaps a little hasty and in practice of non-existence of community immunity for the Covid-19 virus. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 20, 2022                         n°:   4927       Pandemic still worrying The data relating to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus infections in France, Germany and Brazil, fueled by the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant that some improperly define as light (it does not always resolve as with a simple cold), have led international organizations to declare that the end of the pandemic is still far away; then it worries for example Germany, which has recently recorded almost half a million cases a day. Five million cases of contagion monitored in Europe in a week and half of Europeans could be infected by March according to the forecasts of the epidemic trend that is being tried to cope with the booster dose. Italy recorded a record of four hundred and thirty-four victims in one day, but partly increased by a recount of the victims recorded in Sicily in previous days. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 19, 2022                         n°:   4926       Difficulties in Italy due to the Omicron variant Continue to increase the overall cases monitored in Italy due to the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (well over eighty percent, with the remaining Delta); then a record of three hundred and sixty victims was also reached in one day that brings the total since the beginning of the pandemic to over one hundred and forty thousand victims with eight million three hundred thousand infections. There is talk of health difficulties in the management of nCov wards, full intensive care and controversy related to the counting system of asymptomatic people, who need treatment and tested positive for the virus with consequent postponements of medical and surgical interventions.

The long-term consequences of the omicron variant are not known and given the high number of infected people it is not excluded that there may be serious cases even if generally less than the Covid-19 delta variant; therefore should protect as much as possible with suitable masks, distancing and careful hygiene. Providing updated vaccines seems to be a partial solution also because it is feared that the virus may mutate again. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 13, 2022                         n°:   4920       European nCov wave in unvaccinated The intensive care units of several European states are mainly full of patients not vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus so much so that the authorities are forced to adopt increasingly restrictive measures based on the availability of beds, for example in Italy it happens that entire departments have been destined to nCov care by postponing ordinary interventions; then there is talk of a rapidly worsening health situation due to the surge in the pandemic curve with records of infections monitored (in France even over three hundred thousand cases day after day). In Asian populations it seems that the frequency of infections is much lower and some put forward the hypothesis that some genetic factor may play a role in addition perhaps to greater use of masks and disinfectants, social behaviors more attentive to distancing and compliance with health regulations. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 07, 2022                         n°:   4915       Identify targets against nCoV viruses To stem the waves of SARS-CoV-2 viruses fueled by insidious variants, it would be necessary to carefully identify where to channel efforts to contain the pandemic in order to find really effective targets; in fact, according to some, Covid-19 could remain in the future and it will not be possible to eradicate or eliminate it. For the moment, given the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant, developing more protective masks seems to be a tool to curb its spread also because this version of the virus very mutated compared to the initial strain (a kind of jump in almost unexpected evolution) has also shown the ability to partially circumvent vaccines and this means that remaining circulating in the population, without taking targeted preventive measures, it can make a further jump. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 04, 2022                         n°:   4913       Europe in the grip of Covid-19 waves It is estimated that the people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus since the beginning of the pandemic in Europe are over one hundred million and currently it is difficult to cope with the wave of Omicron variant so much so that in Great Britain the health authorities apparently invite the population to live with the virus (after having done enough little to contain its spread). In France record of infections with over two hundred and nineteen thousand infections monitored in one day, one hundred and eleven victims and dominant omicron variant having exceeded fifty percent of the sequencing carried out; then an epidemic peak is expected in mid-January and given the high contagiousness of the virus even for young people is mandatory to wear a mask in public transport.

Another danger comes from the mutations or sublineage of the highly contagious variant and widespread in the world "Delta", one recently identified in Japan.

There is talk of few strategies available to curb the spread of the virus although Australia is generally seen as an example of the adoption of correct and effective containment measures.

Apparently the virus spreads rapidly in Spain, France and Germany even though containment measures have been taken, this probably also because of its features being able to withstand permanently for several hours or even days in the aerosol and on surfaces and then cause the pathology called SARS-CoV-2 in the respiratory tree that in severe cases degenerates into pneumonia.
