Who: Omicron has spread to 77 countries and is likely to be present in most of the world

rHGH Space / December 15, 2021December 15, 2021 / Covid-19

(” Never seen virus spread at this speed “, Omicron has spread to 77 countries and is likely to be present in most of the world. South African health officials have announced that the exact symptom of Omicron is “sweating at night”.) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), warned on December 14 that a new variant of the Novel Coronavirus strain “Omicron” may already exist in most of the world. So far, infection with the omicron variant virus has been confirmed in 77 countries. Tedros emphasized in particular — “‘ Omicron is spreading at an unprecedented rate. In reality, almost every country in the world could have the omicron mutant virus. Tedros expressed concern that the omicron variant was being underestimated in some countries and regions.

The omicron mutant strain, which was confirmed in South Africa on Feb. 14, is spreading faster than ever before, threatening to replace Delta. Despite international restrictions in South Africa and neighboring countries, the virus has not been able to stop its spread around the world. Even Japan, which initially declared itself under lockdown, has reported a total of 128 cases, while South Korea has reported two imported cases of omicron. South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphoza even tested positive. Conventional nucleic acid tests do not distinguish between delta and Omicron, South Africa’s health ministry said at a news conference. “The exact symptom of Omicron is night sweating.”

With the rapid spread of Omicron, some countries have accelerated the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting the imbalance in global vaccine distribution, which who said needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Pfizer of the United States and VionTech of Germany say small clinical studies have shown that a third dose of vaccine can produce antibodies against the omicron mutation to some extent. Moreover, the antibody levels obtained were essentially the same as those obtained during the two previous vaccinations against other mutated viruses, such as Delta. No matter from the perspective of clinical technology or intervention psychology, the benefits of the third injection are obviously greater than the disadvantages from the perspective of preventing severe illness and mortality.

Space virus threatens the world. It’s worse than COVID-19

rHGH Space / December 14, 2021December 14, 2021 / Health

Outbreak, all countries in the world into an unprecedented strike, this not only seriously affected the life of people of all countries, also, to some extent hindered the economic development of countries, even the superpower the United States, because of the outbreak also affect economic development is restricted, of course, even in this case, the United States still attaches great importance to the development in the field of military, military spending is still very high, However, the DEVELOPMENT of the United States in the field of advanced military weapons and equipment is still not a small impact, before, many people questioned that the F-35 plan of the United States is probably due to the military expenditure problem. Of course, despite the existing problems, COVID-19 still threatens the lives of many people around the world. In addition to the impact of COVID-19, there are new crises to confront. According to experts, the world’s 7 billion people will face a major challenge for survival. What’s going on?

In fact, since the outbreak of COVID-19, mankind has never stopped searching for the source of the virus. Although there has been no significant success, new discoveries have been made after investigation. According to experts, there may be extraterrestrial pollution around us, after all, some viruses and bacteria can survive in space, the news has caused a lot of confusion and even disbelief, after all, no one would think that human living environment could be contaminated by space. In fact, scientists have long pointed out that mankind’s “intensive” space exploration is likely to bring crisis to mankind, and the most obvious is that the Earth is likely to be invaded by viruses and microorganisms in space, which has sounded alarm bells around the world.

However, others are skeptical of this idea, arguing that space is too far away for these viruses and bacteria to harm humans. This, it must be said, is too optimistic. Previously, the United States space agency had found a special bacterial strain in the spacecraft clean room, since then the United States also took relevant means to study and eliminate it, the results said that ionizing radiation, fungicide have no effect on it.

In this regard, experts said, these virus particles can be easily adsorb to the universe, once the virus attached to the meteorite, at that time, the whole earth will face great disaster, the world’s more than 7 billion people will be threatened with life. It is worth mentioning that since these virus particles can attach to the body of the space object, will the astronauts bring back the virus when they return to Earth? Experts have long explained that astronauts’ advanced protective equipment can not only resist radiation and high temperatures, but also insulate them from all contact with the outside world, including breathing. Therefore, the astronauts’ lives are not threatened.

Novel Coronavirus has tested positive for the South African president

rHGH Space / December 13, 2021December 13, 2021 / Covid-19

According to the statement, Ramaphosa recently visited four West African countries including Nigeria and Cote d ‘Ivoire. Mr Ramaphosa and the delegation members were tested negative for novel coronavirus tests during their visit and after their return to South Africa.

According to data released by the National Institute of Communicable Diseases on The same day, 18,035 new COVID-19 cases were reported in South Africa in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 3,167,497. Twenty-one new deaths were reported, bringing the total death toll to 90,137. So far, South Africa has received more than 27.09 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 18.16 million people have received at least one dose.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving treatment and self-isolation, the presidential Office said in a statement.

Ramaphosa was unwell after attending a memorial service for former President Fw de Klerk in Cape Town earlier in the day, the statement said. He was subsequently tested positive for the Novel Coronavirus test. Ramaphosa has been vaccinated against COVID-19 and is in mild symptoms and good spirits.

The statement said Mr. Ramaphosa is undergoing medical treatment and self-quarantine, and will be replaced next week by Vice President Joseph Mabuza. In a statement, Ramaphosa said his infection was a warning to all South Africans that they should be vaccinated against COVID-19 and remain vigilant.

Novel Coronavirus out of control in Latvia mink farm, repeated cross-infection between human and animal

rHGH Space / December 12, 2021December 12, 2021 / Health

Novel Coronavirus uncontrollably mutated in Latvia at a fur farm near the town of Bauska, where 100,000 minks are kept. According to the results of the study, the virus has been repeatedly transmitted between humans and animals.

The virus first entered German mink fur farms in the Baltic Sea in early spring 2021, Sputnik reported, citing the delfi.lv portal. Throughout the spring and summer, minks and farm workers were infected with the mutant “Delta” Novel Coronavirus strain that now dominates the world.

“Virus samples from animals and humans were so genetically similar that the scientists concluded that the fur farm viruses had repeatedly overcome the interspecies barrier,” the report said. That means the virus passed from person to mink and back from mink to person.”

Monta Breviba, a researcher at Latvia’s Biomedical Research Centre, points out that some mutations have not yet been described, while others are considered dangerous. “But at least four have previously been described in the scientific literature as potentially dangerous, increasing susceptibility to the virus or affecting the neutralization of antibodies,” Delfi.lv quoted her as saying. So there are concerns that such mutations could also reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.”

There are now about 100,000 minks on the farm, and they continue to be asymptomatic with no increase in mortality. The last farm worker was recorded two and a half months ago.

Latvia is discussing the possibility of culling mink. If Latvia decides to close the farm, the compensation will be in the millions of euros.

File photo: CarniVa-COV, an animal vaccine, is introduced in Russia. Previous tests have shown that the vaccine can produce Novel coronavirus antibodies in animals such as minks and cats and dogs.

COVID-19 infections have been repeatedly found in mink farms. Earlier, the Danish government said it was necessary to cull all minks in the kingdom — 15m-17m on all farms — because they “are carriers of dangerous novel coronavirus variants”.

Europe’s largest fur industry was destroyed.

In December 2020, the Danish government passed a decree banning the breeding and operation of mink in the country until December 31, 2021 due to the risk of the spread of the novel coronavirus variant.

Novel Coronavirus detection in minks has also been announced in a number of other European countries.

A virus that can make people laugh themselves to death

rHGH Space / December 11, 2021December 11, 2021 / Medical

What is the most poisonous poison? Is smiling half step epilepsy, or a day of death scattered? I believe the battle between Tang Pak Hu and Mrs. Hua must be deeply impressed. But you know what? There really is a virus that, once infected, causes the sufferer to suffer excruciating pain, lose memory and finally die in a frenzy of laughter.

In the 1950s, a strange disease broke out in Papua New Guinea in Oceania, killing more than 200 people a year. At first, people experience headaches, joint pain and uncontrollable shaking. Gradually, people infected with the disease lose mobility and memory, and occasionally burst into hysterical laughter until they die. Locals call this bizarre illness “kuru,” which means trembling with fear.

The unknown disease attracted the attention of a medical scientist, Daniel Carlton Gedusek, who went to live and eat with the people of the kuru tribe, hoping to find out what caused it. He was surprised by the results, which may have something to do with local cannibalism.

It turned out that there was a unique custom in this tribe. When a companion died, tribal people would share the body of the deceased to complete the reincarnation of the soul. And while men tend to eat muscle, women and children tend to eat brains. Gedusek ventured to speculate that this seemed to have something to do with the fact that kuru is mostly affected by women and children.

Gedusek took a piece of the brain he’d been given at the memorial, took it back to his lab and studied it on an orangutan, and it turned out that the orangutan he’d injected with the deceased’s brain was soon showing Kuru’s symptoms. Based on this and a series of other studies, Gedusek says kuru is caused by a virus that invades the brain and nervous system. The virus, it turned out, was a protein molecule called a prion.

Why on earth are prions so bad? Prions aren’t exactly viruses. Unlike other viruses, prions don’t have DNA or RNA, and they can’t make copies of themselves. Prion means protein, so prion is just a kind of similar protein, infectious substances, but it is called “the most terrifying virus”!

Prions are only protein molecules, but they also have the infectivity and pathogenicity of conventional viruses, and mainly harm the brain and central nervous system of mammals and human bodies, resulting in the degeneration and death of brain cells, and eventually replaced by vacuoles, into the shape of sponges. Once infected, the mortality rate reaches 100%.

More incredible is that prions have strong resistance, general ultraviolet radiation, ionization radiation, high pressure, high temperature, as well as formaldehyde, hydroxylamine and other chemical reagents can not take it. Even when prions enter the body, the immune system cannot detect them in time, and stomach acids and proteases cannot digest them and destroy their structure. So, once infected with prions, doctors cannot accurately diagnose them, nor can they stop the spread of the virus in time, which can be said to be incurable.

People infected with it gradually develop headaches, joint pain, tremors, and death by laughing hysterically, known as Kuru. Similarly, animals infected with prions can show signs of limited mobility and hysteria, such as the massive outbreak of rinderpest on British cattle farms in 1980, in which cattle stumbled and trembled as if they were mad. Finally, scientists discovered that the cows’ brains were spongy like those of kuru’s disease, so they called it bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease.

Prions are scary, but they’re also preventable. We can find that Kuru disease is caused by eating the body of an infected person, the virus infection, after the abolition of cannibalism, kuru disease has not been newly infected, until today, the patients almost completely disappeared; Animals such as mad cow disease and mad sheep disease are infected with prions by eating the body tissue of infected cows.

We do not need to worry, we usually eat regular way to sell meat, is through layers of testing “heart meat”, there is no risk of infection with prions.

So some of your friends might be worried, because there are so many prions out there, are they going to jump to people? Prions do not normally jump from animals to humans, except in diet, some researchers say. So, beware of disease in the mouth, never eat game to start! Because the pathogens carried by wild animals can’t be controlled, you never know which wild animals might be carrying prions

Novel Coronavirus is just the beginning

rHGH Space / December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 / Covid-19

Spanish media published an article entitled “The next pandemic has Begun: COVID – 19 accelerate the emergence of superbugs, issued a warning, in this paper because of the new champions league during the outbreak of the overuse of antibiotics and incorrect use, lead to many antibiotics are no longer effective, resistant, it makes the human to any wound is likely to be deadly in the future, at the same time, human health care back in 100.

Novel coronavirus may cause transmission of super fungus

In 2009, a new pathogenic fungus candida species ears are found, it is a kind of can and exposure wound infection ear fungus, has the characteristics of multiple drug resistance and high fatality rate, referred to as “superbugs”, the covid during transmission, the hospital of the new champions league a surge of patients suffering from ear candida cases, after the use of antibodies, many patients show drug resistance to antibiotics.

In fact, “superbug” does not refer to any single bacteria, but refers to bacteria and viruses that are resistant to most vitamin medicines and can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infections and skin infections.

During the period of COVID-19 infection, the accelerated genetic mutation of “superbugs” and the abuse of antibiotics have made it difficult for most antibiotics to destroy bacteria, causing great harm to the human body after superbugs enter the body.

Antibiotics wear off, and any infection can be fatal

The development of “superbugs” has become so serious that antibiotics are gradually losing their effect, a Spanish expert said, without antibiotics, human society would be a terrible world, any infection would be fatal.

Imagine a child fell down, but after he was taken to hospital, the doctor to do, some bacterial diseases, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea and salmonellosis or will lose the effective treatment method, in addition, chemotherapy this medical technology in the absence of antibiotics, also became a high-risk therapy.

At this rate, human beings will not be able to cure diseases, nor cure other animals, nor even produce healthy and harmless food, and ultimately lead to the regression of human civilization.

Ten million early deaths are not an exaggeration

In 2016, the British government released a report saying that bacteria and drug-resistant microbes are already causing 700,000 deaths a year and could kill 10 million people by 2050, more than cancer. But as the Novel Coronavirus outbreak has led to the silent spread of the superbug, Spanish researchers have warned that 10 million deaths could occur sooner, in 2040 or 2030, than in 2050. Most worryingly, these bacteria pass on the genes for new antibodies to other bacteria, causing the more antibiotics humans use, the faster they evolve antibodies to them.

Therefore, all countries around the world should raise awareness of antibiotics, and all people should take antibiotics strictly as prescribed, and should not buy them without medical advice. At the same time, antibiotics should not be given to animals without veterinary advice and can be reduced by vaccination.

Israeli scientists discover method of Destroying Novel Coronavirus in 2 seconds

rHGH Space / December 9, 2021December 9, 2021 / Covid-19

The Jerusalem Post reports that “Israeli scientists have found a way to destroy the Novel Coronavirus in two seconds”, confusing the 229E coronavirus found in 1966 with the Novel Coronavirus responsible for today’s outbreak.
studies have shown that 95GHz radiation can be used to disinfect surfaces and contaminated water, but the technology is not available for humans.

Background of the event

On November 25, The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli scientists had found that a special form of radiation can kill The novel Coronavirus and polio viruses currently circulating in two seconds.

As soon as the news was released, it was reprinted by foreign media, and some Chinese media also compiled the news.

Research has found that millimeter waves can kill 99.8% of the Novel Coronavirus in two seconds, Lenta reported on 28 November

So what should we make of this study? To what extent will so-called “millimeter-wave special radiation” end the epidemic that has thrown human society into chaos?

observe

The study was led by a team at Ariel University in Israel and published in the journal Environmental Chemistry Letters, according to the Report, published in the Jerusalem Post. The results “may have important implications for how to disinfect the environment and equipment in a rapid and effective manner,” the report said.

Environmental Chemistry Letters is published by Springer, a Swiss publisher of academic journals. According to the official website, its impact factor was 9.027 in 2020 and 8.216 in the past five years. Overall, the journal is highly reliable.

Springer, environmental Chemistry Letters

The Jerusalem Post interviewed two of the paper’s co-authors, Professor Moshe Einat and Dr. Gabi Gerlitz, although it did not name the paper by name.

A search for Moshe Einat and Gabi Gerlitz on Researchgate, It was discovered that the two had collaborated ona paper entitled Corona and Polio viruses are sentisive to Short Exposure of W-band gyroton in August Radiation). The paper’s co-authors are also from Ariel University.

The research team irradiated laboratory-grown poliovirus and coronavirus 229E using a 95GHz gyrotron with an output power of about 10 kilowatts, the paper said. Based on scanning microscope imaging analysis, 95GHz radiation destroys virus envelope and changes virus morphology through concentrated high temperature.

The results showed that the inactivation rate of both viruses increased exponentially after 2 seconds of irradiation. Poliovirus decreased by about 99.375% and 229E coronavirus by about 99.98% — while 0.02% is very close to the minimum dose for novel coronavirus infection in humans.

The W-band cyclotron used in the experiment

The results seem very encouraging. However, it is worth noting that, despite its homology, the 229E coronavirus in this study is very different from the “novel Coronavirus” we know as the cause of today’s outbreak — in other words, it is not the same coronavirus.

The Fourth edition of the Encyclopedia of Virology notes that seven coronaviruses that can infect humans have been identified so far. The 229E coronavirus is the oldest of the family, having been known since the 1960s.

According to a 2016 study published in the journal Trends in Microbiology, the 229E coronavirus typically causes only mild symptoms such as headache, fever, and cough, incubates for about two to five days, and generally does not cause severe pneumonia, except in immunocompromised patients, Not to mention the extremely low fatality rate.

The chart is taken from Epidemiology, Genetic Recombination, and Pathogenesis of Coronaviruses. The article appears in Trends in Microbiology, vol 24, no 6 (2016)

Therefore, although the Arielle team has suggested a possible future for this research, namely inactivating and disinfecting the Novel Coronavirus that is currently baffling humans, the original test subjects were not the current Novel Coronavirus itself, and there is no evidence that the team has conducted similar tests on the Novel Coronavirus.

The team points out that using 95GHz rays to disinfect surfaces is safer and more effective than ultraviolet light, and that the technique also allows operators to avoid direct contact or exposure to pathogens. In the future, the technology could be used to disinfect sewage. However, the article also points out that, due to the energy intensive, 95GHz also has a certain amount of damage, some materials may not be able to withstand. As einart told the Jerusalem post, 95GHz is not currently used to kill viruses in the human body.

In conclusion, the Jerusalem Post’s report that 95GHz rays can kill the currently circulating Novel Coronavirus is a misreading of the Ariel University team’s research.

The results showed that irradiation with 95GHz radiation for 2 seconds can kill about 99.98 percent of the 229E coronavirus that adheres to the surface of objects. However, there is no evidence that 95GHz has the same effect on the currently prevalent novel coronavirus. In addition, the application of 95GHz is only limited to the disinfection of surfaces and sewage, and cannot be used to inactivate viruses in human body for the time being.

The virus has reappeared

rHGH Space / December 8, 2021December 8, 2021 / Covid-19

From November 30 to December 1, 33 teachers and students in a kindergarten in Qiongshan District, Haikou city, Hainan Province, developed vomiting and diarrhea in succession, including 31 children and 2 teachers.

It is reported that the children were taken by their parents to the hospital for treatment or rest at home after the symptoms relieved, all mild cases, no severe cases or hospitalized cases.

According to the municipal Health Commission, based on the patient’s clinical manifestations, on-site epidemiological investigation and laboratory test results, the incident was not caused by food poisoning, and the vomiting and diarrhea of the child was caused by norovirus (G2) infection.

Norovirus, formerly known as Norovirus, belongs to the caliciviridae family. The virus has the characteristics of short incubation period, rapid mutation, strong environmental resistance, diversified transmission routes and low dose of infection, so it is easy to cause transmission among people. All people are generally susceptible to the virus. The duration of immune protection from norovirus infection is short, so the same person can be repeatedly infected with the same strain or different types of norovirus.

Norovirus infection can occur all year round, with the peak norovirus epidemic season from October to March. New strains of norovirus that cause global epidemics also appear every 2-3 years.

How to prevent

At present, non-drug preventive measures are mainly used for prevention and control.

Keeping hand hygiene is the most important and effective measure. Six-step washing technique, highlighting, disinfecting paper towels and sanitizer can not replace hand washing.

2, if the family infection, should keep a distance from the family, as far as possible to the end of two days after the symptoms disappear.

3, carefully clean fruits and vegetables, cook food to thoroughly cooked in the trial, especially shellfish.

Novel coronavirus infection was found in hospital visits

rHGH Space / December 6, 2021December 6, 2021 / Covid-19

For novel coronavirus infection patients, fever, fatigue and dry cough are the main symptoms, and upper respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose are rare. But with the constant mutation of the virus, many foreign patients also appeared the loss of smell and taste.

According to media reports, fujian Anxi reported a nucleic acid test positive case of an overseas immigrant in Anxi County, Quanzhou. According to the wife of the case, the novel coronavirus infection was found only when the husband went to the hospital for treatment because he had lost his sense of smell and taste when he returned.

The wife of the positive case said her husband came back and said he had lost his sense of smell and taste, so he planned to go to the hospital to have his nose examined. But go to the hospital all need to do nucleic acid test, let her husband do nucleic acid test first.

On December 4, the man took nucleic acid samples at anxi County Hospital. On December 5, the nucleic acid test result was positive after rechecking.

In addition, the positive case went to a local clinic to buy medicine on the day of her return. According to the clinic staff, when the patient came to buy gunpowder, said he had no discomfort symptoms, then bought banlangen.

There are six people in his family, including his wife, sister and three children, but the patient’s parents also had contact with him. At present, contacts with the positive case have been isolated.

It is worth mentioning that the loss of smell and taste seems to have become another feature of novel coronavirus patients, but the mechanism behind the failure of smell in infected persons is still not fully understood.

Mutated virus creates uncertainty Goldman Sachs cuts US GDP growth forecast for 2022

rHGH Space / December 5, 2021December 5, 2021 / Covid-19

In a report released this weekend, Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs Economist Joseph Briggs lowered his FORECAST for U.S. GDP growth next year, saying the widespread spread of omicron poses risks and uncertainties for the economy.

Given the 0.5% boost to GDP in the fourth quarter from strong inventories, Briggs said in the report, the drag from the virus on economic recovery and supplies will be concentrated in the first half of next year, with 1.5% in the First and 0.5% in the second quarter. As a result, Goldman sachs revised its GDP growth forecast for next year down to 3.8% from 4.2%, while fourth-quarter growth slowed to 2.9% from 3.3%.

The report also stressed that omicron could slow the economic restart, but would have “only a modest impact” on spending in services.

Although the Delta variant remains the dominant strain circulating in the United States, omicron has also quietly taken root. The number of confirmed cases of Omicron has reached 16 states, according to local media reports, with multiple states reporting cases on Saturday. While most cases have been linked to travel history to South Africa, there have been several locally transmitted cases, including residents of Hawaii who had not recently left the region and a Minnesota man who had attended New York Comic-Con. Also Saturday, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced the state’s first case of Omicron, in a man older than 60 who had traveled to New York for Comic-Con.

The Minnesota man said he was attending the Nov. 19-21 Event with about 30 friends from across the country, half of whom have tested positive for COVID-19 so far. The city said about 53,000 attendees and cast members were involved in November’s comic-Con event and hoped they would be tested as soon as possible.

Despite widespread market concerns about omicron, Goldman sachs also stressed that the impact on economic growth would not be excessive. Briggs said that while many questions remain unanswered, “we think the most likely scenario is that the virus is spreading faster, but the existing immunity is only slightly less protective against severe disease, which is also a mild downward trend.”

The Goldman sachs report also noted that the shortage could be more persistent if workers are worried about returning to work because of the mutant virus. There will also be supply chain shortfalls as external countries tighten their lockdowns due to the pandemic, but as vaccination rates rise among external trading partners, severe supply chain disruptions should be avoided.
