A recent research about 2,000 recruits of Marine Corps reveals asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
A recent research about 2,000 recruits of Marine Corps reveals asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 transmission. A study of nearly 2,000 Marine recruits who went through supervised quarantine before starting basic training revealed several instances of asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, despite the quarantine measures. The findings have important implications for the effectiveness of public health measures to suppress transmission of COVID-19 among young adults, whether in military training, schools, or other aspec…
Denmark apologizes for the unnecessary and horrible massacre of mink for the scare of Covid-19
Denmark apologizes for the unnecessary and horrible massacre of minks for the scare of Covid-19 and the preventive repayments of money. The emergency kill was triggered by a mutated version of the coronavirus, which scientists have described as less sensitive to antibodies and endangering future vaccines. To date, up to 2.5 million minks have been killed by the world's largest mink fur producer. The Danish government has backed down from its decision to kill all the farmed mink in the country, which would have effectively shut down the ent…

Health : Blood type plays key role in vulnerability to Covid19, new research claims
Blood type plays key role in vulnerability to Covid-19, new research claims. A person’s blood type could play a key role in their vulnerability to Covid-19, with type O people less likely to catch the bug while types A and AB are most at risk, freshly released research has found. Two independent studies published on Wednesday found that blood type O is something of a security blanket when it comes to coronavirus. Those with this blood type were found to be less likely to catch the disease and also had a reduced risk of suffering severe complic…
Health,Covid19 : Facemasks and social distancing will be needed until next summer in UK
Vaccine expert warns facemasks and social distancing will be needed until next summer Andrew Pollard warned strict rules would have to be followed even if global tests proved successful. He said the first jabs would probably not be available until next year – and then only for key groups such as frontline health workers. Professor Pollard said that he hoped the final trials could be completed by the end of this year but added: 'Life won't be back to normal until summer at the earliest. We may need masks until July. Andrew Professor P…
Health,Covid19 : Is REMDESIVIR the real working treatment to defeat the disaster following Covid 19 contagion in some patients ?
The results of the ACTT-1 trial, which looked at the effectiveness of remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19, have finally been published. So far the only drug that has been shown to reduce deaths from the disease has been dexamethasone, a steroid that suppresses the immune system through its anti-inflammatory effects. Steroids have a secondary effect on the disease—they don't target the virus itself. Remdesivir, on the other hand, goes straight to the cause of the disease by inhibiting the virus. Remdesivir The drug, which was developed b…

Health,coronavirus : Rapid bedside testing is faster than standard centralised PCR testing for COVID-19
Point-of-care-testing for suspected COVID-19 reduces time to results and may improve infection control, suggesting these tests might have clinical advantages over widely used laboratory PCR methods. An interventional study tracking SARS-CoV-2 testing on admission to a UK hospital finds that the wait for results was just 1.7 hours using point-of-care testing (POCT) close to the patient's bedside, compared with 21.3 hours using the standard process of PCR testing in a centralised lab within the hospital. The study is the first to assess real…
