Fear nCov for senior during holidays in China For the Chinese Lunar New Year (January 21) millions of people move to the Asian country for the holidays and the health authorities fear for the fate of the most fragile elderly, many also not sufficiently vaccinated, who could be infected by family members who from the end of the zero Covid strategy can move freely and without controls. The officially declared victims according to some are widely underestimated and international organizations warn that it is not even clear what kind of variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is spreading in the population. Complaints come from rural areas of the country about the crowding of hospitals, the lack of doctors, medicines, tests and care due to the disparity compared to better assisted areas; then the medical staff is exhausted and there is a shortage of equipment and appropriate expertise. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 12, 2023

 Study on the trend of an nCoV subvariant The increase in cases of contagion due to the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus seems to be linked to a greater number of Covid-19 hospitalizations, at least in some regions of the United States where this subvariant would be spreading and is present in over forty percent of the diagnostic kits-swabs examined. This subvariant defined as very contagious and rather adept at circumventing the immune defenses enhanced by vaccines or previous Covid infections has been identified in twenty-nine countries and is the result of a recombination of the virus in a person infected at the same time with two strains of the virus in the replication phase. There is no indication whether it may be more severe than other subvariants although it could add up as adverse effects to other flu viruses that in practice always affect the respiratory tree. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 09, 2023 n°: 5229 Monitoring trends in Covid cases in Italy The Italian health authorities even in the absence of the detection of new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in travelers from China (it would be from the first data only of Omicron subvariants, pending further genetic sequencing that require time for processing) would have suggested greater vigilance on the trend of infections; there is talk of possible ordinances while in two days there will be a meeting of European countries regarding the measures to be taken on Chinese passengers of air flights and various journeys. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on health issues that using the mRNA technology of Covid vaccines researchers are trying to develop vaccines against tumors that from the first laboratory tests, still in the experimental phase, would have shown promise as efficacy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 02, 2023 n°: 5224 Heavy Covid wave in Japan The health authorities of Japan have to face a wave of SARS-CoV-2 virus of unusual intensity for this country with even over two hundred thousand infections every day and increasing compared to the previous week; then there is talk of record victims, four hundred and fifteen in a single day the highest monitored since the pandemic began in one day. In the last seven days Japan has the highest number of confirmed cases of infections in the world and in second place for the number of victims after the United States, at least according to data from international organizations. To report shifting attention to China the spread of Covid infections that perhaps had begun well before the end of the decision to disable population tracking given the high number of infections in percentages detected in the United States and Italy in people coming from air flights from China. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 30, 2022 n°: 5222 China potential breeding ground for nCoV virus Moving from the so-called zero Covid strategy with strict restrictions and stringent controls on a large scale to one of free movement could, according to some, make China become a kind of culture soup for new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (in one billion four hundred thousand individuals) even if it is generally assumed that they are hardly more dangerous than those already sequenced, but the Chinese people having not been able to develop antibodies against the virus remain substantially discovered with an insufficiently trained immune system; then apparently the vaccination campaigns have not been very widespread and have used a vaccine that is not very effective with health systems that now have to face a huge Covid wave. In Italy there is talk of almost fifty percent of diagnostic kits-swabs positive for the virus of passengers of flights from China. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 29, 2022 n°: 5221 Infections from Covid-19 variants rampant in China Chinese health authorities are unable to monitor infections from variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and prevent it from spreading further since the tracking system was deactivated, then some speak of crematoria that no longer have space for bodies as for example happens in the city of thirty million inhabitants of Chongqing. It is feared that the spread of infections could favor the formation of new variants of the pandemic virus, even dangerous given the possibility of mutations; then since it is impossible to use a diagnostic-swab kit, the many sick people (who must now almost obligatorily continue their activities) is fear up to one million victims. The news is partly contradictory with Beijing communicating only five victims in two days actually died due to Covid and not from other diseases. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 22, 2022 n°: 5215 Between joy and fear in China for end zero nCoV app Chinese health authorities would have deactivated Covid-19 tracking applications downloaded to users' smartphones to monitor routes and in case of contagion any outbreaks; so some say that this is the end of the so-called zero Covid strategy with consequent celebrations among the communities that were forced to remain confined for quarantines, but at the same time the fear is growing that the virus could now spread quickly in Beijing and then throughout the country. The biggest concerns are for the millions of seniors who have not made the booster dose of vaccines already considered less effective than those with mRNA technology available in other markets. The change was necessary above all because of the numerous recent protests by citizens who could not organize their activities and judged the restrictions excessive. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 14, 2022 n°: 5208 Young and old more susceptible to H3N2 flu It is known that young and old are more at risk for healthy complications caused by the flu, but it is not clear what the motivation is even if researchers suspect that it may depend for example on which strain of flu circulated when were first infected; therefore the immune system tends to respond better with the original strain to which have been exposed and less well when find yourself infected with the new A H3N2 strain now circulating. It may be useful to wear the mask to avoid being infected by what is called a kind of perfect storm of various flu viruses that generally affect the respiratory tree to avoid serious consequences that can reach up to admission to intensive care. Flu vaccines apparently have an effectiveness of forty to sixty percent in avoiding severe complications. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 02, 2022 n°: 5199 An mRNA vaccine maybe for all flu strains The testing of a unique vaccine with messenger RNA technology targeted to all influenza strains opens a new sector with a wide range of possibilities, at least according to researchers who say that the vaccine still in the early stages of development produces high levels of antibodies (but in animals and therefore in addition to ethical problems regarding this type of experimentation it is not said that the effects on humans are the same); then it aims to induce the immune system to a memory for each flu variant and subvariant. To report shifting the attention to other health issues the invitation of Italian health authorities to avoid crowding for discounted purchases for the holidays so as not to allow influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 to spread further, since an increase in infections has been monitored lately. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 26, 2022 n°: 5193 Health effects of climate change The increase in temperatures due to global warming amplifies pulmonary and cardiac respiratory diseases, increases the risks of problems regarding the outcome of maternity, worsens the quality of sleep (resulting in fatigue at work with possible accidents, drowsiness driving that leads to errors and strokes of sleep, poor mental clarity in important decisions), people's ability to work and exercise; then researchers in a study warn that infectious diseases such as malaria have a longer season to spread without considering that mosquitoes can carry different diseases. There are also unthinkable effects such as fires that render useless surgical instruments that lose sterility or a combination of unhealthy factors due to climate change. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 31, 2022 n°: 5171 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
