Will COVIDD-19 affect the new population, such as the Spanish flu of 1918?

What we saw in 1918 was a change of the virus. The second wave was different from the first wave and touched another group of people, mainly young people”, Professor Roger Kirby, president of the Royal Medical Society, told Radio BBC 4, told Professor Roger Kirby.

The doctor, Hans Cluj, director for Europe at the World Health Organisation (OBSH), also warned that they are receiving reports from civil and health authorities, that there is a higher number of new infections among young people aged 20 to 35 years. Kluj said he has two girls and that he understands that young people “do not want to lose wine”.

But they're responsible for themselves, their parents, grandparents and the community, and we know how to behave well and healthyly, so let's use those knowledge”.

Long-term health effects

The Spanish Grip Pandemia erupted in March 1918 and affected mainly the elderly and the sick during World War I. By August 1918, there was hope that the pandemic would end, but death prevailed again from September to November. The virus suffered changes and touched young people, healthy people.

Experts fear that COVID-19 may pass through a curve “W”, similar to Spanish Gryp, which is the deadliest pandemic in history, affecting some 500 million people and taking life, according to some estimates, between 17 and 50 million people worldwide. Spanish flu, originally had the curve “U”, with a large number of deaths among a very old and very new population. Later, the curve became “W”, affecting even healthy people aged 25-35.

We have already said and say again: Young people are not invincible. Young people can get infected, young people can die and young people can transmit the virus to others”, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesus warned after his colleague Kloge's speech, Euronews reported.

German and French officials said younger people practice physical distance and have more contacts and are less concerned about the possibility of infection, which is wrong.

The data collected so far suggests that the risk of developing serious or fatal illness by coronavirus increases dramatically with age.

For example, in the United Kingdom, the mortality rate in April was 7.7 in 100,000 people, compared with 4,249 deaths in 100,000 people aged 80 to 84 years.

O BSH warned on Thursday, July 30th that even a soft infection with COVID-19 could result in long-term health consequences. Medical doctor Maria van Carkhovo, a technical leader in WHO for COVID-19, said that extreme fatigue, gasp, and difficulty returning to normal activities are some of the long-term effects people have had after they have experienced a mild coronrus infection.

Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO Emergency Programme, also cited evidence of the changes to prolonged inflammation in the patients' cardiovascular system.

He stressed that little is yet known about the long-term implications of the virus. However, both Ryan and van Carkhov urged people to wear masks, wash their hands regularly, and avoid crowded places. Meanwhile, as for nightclubs, both said such countries viewed the virus's transmission as stimulating.

From 8 grand to 17 million

It's been six months since O. The BSH declared the new global health emergency coronir the highest possible alert under international law and the number of new cases is still increasing. When the pandemic was declared, there were about 8,000 infected and 170 dead.

By the end of July, more than 17 million infected and about 668,000 deaths have been recorded, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University, and the total number of infected has doubled in the last six weeks.

In the past two weeks, the largest increase in the number of infected has been recorded in Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Romania, Belgium, Italy, United Kingdom, but also in the Western Balkan countries.

The actual number of infected people is higher because some people have no symptoms at all and others may have received a false negative test result. Some have not been tested at all.

According to WHO, in Sweden in mid-June there has been a sharp increase in cases of persons infected with coronavirus under 49 years of age. Since then, the cases for this age group have declined, but there are currently more cases of 20-29-year-old age group infected in 100,000 people than any other country in the world.

In Ireland, as of July 28th, almost 60 percent of all cases confirmed with COVID-19 have been reported to be 45 years old.

In Israel, the recent increase in cases is related to the outbreak of an epidemic in schools. According to most recent data, about one fifth of the cases have been recorded among persons between the ages of 10 and 19, and one fifth in the age group from 20 to 29, the BBC reported.

The “we are now facing is the return of transmission within the community following the easing of insulating measures. We need to be clear, the effectiveness of closure is only temporary. The new cases will appear every time physical restrictions are lifted, as long as the virus is flowing”, Professor Jose Wazquez-Boland, director of the Infectious Diseases Department at the University of Edinburgh, told the Telegraph.

Avoid Gatherings

To reduce the number of cases, Professor David Hunter, expert on epidemiology and medicine at the Nufffield Public Health Department at Oxford University, advises the population to avoid events that are “up-proliferation”, wear masks and work from home when possible.

What we know now, and what was not clear in March, is that a large number of cases were the result of so-called super-proliferation events. The estimates show that about 10 percent of the infected infected infected infected infected about 80 percent of the new cases not because they were super-proliferation, but because they were in closed environments. If people sang or shouted, they were choirs, churches, pubs, and bars where loud music was heard, these are places where a person could infect, in some cases, 50 or 100 people”, Professor Hunter warned of Huffington Post.

He recommends that “do not have to wear a mask if you walk alone, but if you get close to someone two meters, especially if you're indoor”. /Rel/
