Considerations on end of nCov emergency in U.S. The US authorities would have announced that in May the end of the Covid-19 emergency began three years ago in January 2020 will be declared, there is also talk of a decision that could cause uncertainty in the health system already in some cases put under pressure by the measures necessary to deal with the pandemic. The situation has improved in many countries thanks to vaccinations and new fairly effective medicines, but the unknown remains on the trend of infections due to the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus considered very able to circumvent the immune defenses trained by vaccines and vaccination boosters or previous infections; then, even if not more severe than other subvariants, it should be taken into account the remarkable ability to infect many people in a short time, so it is generally better to keep its virulence under control with masks and distancing. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 31, 2023

 Attention in some countries on children's syrups Following more than three hundred cases of deaths of children (most under the age of five, from acute kidney injury) that occurred last year in The Gambia, Indonesia and Uzbekistan due to cough syrups with high levels of ethylene-diethylene glycol the international health authorities warn to take effective measures to protect children from contaminated medicines. These toxic chemicals used for industrial solvents and antifreeze liquids can be fatal even if taken in small quantities and should never be found in medicines, then many countries should keep in mind that these are not just isolated accidents. For some specific similar medicines requests for removal from shelves had also been issued, while manufacturers generally deny that their products are contaminated or claim that investigations are necessary. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 24, 2023 n°: 5242 Study in Asia on mosquitoes that transmit Dengue The Aedes aegypti mosquito that carries Dengue hemorrhagic fever and other diseases (such as Zika and yellow fever) in Asia and especially in Cambodia would be becoming very resistant to common pyrethrum-based insecticides, at least according to a study that warns how for example the levels of insecticide that are used to eliminate one hundred percent of mosquitoes in a sample eliminate only seven percent; then a ten times stronger dose eliminates only thirty percent of insects that have become super resistant. In addition to new more effective formulations are being developed vaccines and bacteria to sterilize mosquitoes, but more research will need to be done to protect communities. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that China after the criticism of unreliable Covid data provided lately has communicated almost sixty thousand victims. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 16, 2023 n°: 5235 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 n°: 5232 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 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
