Coronavirus has been the hottest topic of the world now. The confirmed number and deaths are keep growing up, and every one is waiting the peak coming. But when, no one knows. At least, from the statistics the growth rate is not getting slower.
In this case, many people may have doubts why China could contain and suppress Coronavirus so quickly in a short time, clean the cases to zero and lift the lockdown soon.
WHO recently led to establish a global vaccine research team composed of scientists, doctors, funders and manufacturers. The WHO statement stated that this would help reduce inefficiency and duplication of labor. Earlier, the document issued by the WHO on April 11 stated that there were three vaccines that had entered clinical trials globally. There are 67 vaccines that have not yet entered clinical trials.
According to the State Council of China, China is researching and developing in five technical directions including inactivated vaccines, genetically engineered recombinant subunit vaccines, adenovirus vector vaccines, attenuated influenza virus vector vaccines, and nucleic acid vaccines.
On April 23, a novel coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom began human clinical trials. At the same time, the United Kingdom began to manufacture about 1 million doses of vaccines. It is hoped that the clinical trial results coming out this fall will prove the safety of those 1 million vaccines.
Reported on the website of Newsweek (newsweek.com) in the United States on April 21, at a press conference held that afternoon, British Health Secretary Matthew Hancock said that two vaccines developed by British researchers have made significant progress, and one of which was ready to begin human trials on Thursday which was developed by Oxford University researchers.
On March 13, 2020, Patrick Valence, the chief scientific adviser of the British government, said that about 60% of the British population would need to be infected with the novel coronavirus to obtain “group immunity” in the whole country. This caused a lot of controversy in the world.
What is Group Immunity? Group immunity (Herd immunity) refers to the resistance of populations or animal groups to infection. A high level of group immunity indicates that the percentage of animals in the group that are resistant to infection is high.
China’s latest discovery of novel coronavirus warns that Coronavirus is mutating which would discourage vaccine development.
Chinese scientists warn that the mutations of coronavirus may be underestimated by them because the latest deadliest strains control Europe and the United States.
Chinese scientists have discovered that the east coast of Europe and America has been infected with one of the most aggressive coronavirus strains because dozens of viral mutations of coronavirus have been found.
From cytokine storm to honeycomb lung, study the whole onset process of Coronavirus infection, wen could find that the novel Coronavirus will not just damage the lungs only in human body. The novel coronavirus has many same characteristics as SARS and MERS. The coronaviruses can induce reactions in multiple organs, which is also a typical characteristic of zoonotic coronaviruses.
Per to current world wide situation of coronavirus, the virus has a very fast spread rate.
After a several weeks’ lockdown, people are going to lose the patient keeping staying at home. It bring a boring live with huge disruption, distress and stress to lives in the world. So, when UK government decided to extend the lockdown to more three weeks, many people can not help to have a question in mind when the outbreak will end, and when to lift the lockdown, and when the life would get back to normal.
The deaths of Coronavirus in the world is a big number, and the death rate is about 6.9%. The good is the recovered number is much more, and the recovered rate is more than 25%. Since there were many recovered cases which were tested Positive again in few days later after recovered. People may have questions if there is any sequela of Coronavirus to those recovered cases? Here just collect some opinions from medical experts.
The world confirmed cases increase to 2,310,572 untill 18th of April in almost 210 countries and regions. Really a serious situation to the government of those countries. However, we still see lots of people going out without face mask, and every day the heads of government speak in the press conference without mask. So, why do they not ware a mask in such a situation of Coronavirus? They are super man or stupid?
17th, WHO issued a warning at a press conference, saying that there is no evidence that new coronavirus patients with new coronavirus antibodies in the blood and patients with asymptomatic infection have long-term immunity to the new coronavirus. Some officials said that at present, it is impossible to determine that people with antibodies can be fully protected from illness.
According to Forbes News and CNBC website reports, WHO experts said that the new coronavirus serum test (also called antibody test) can indeed show whether a person has been infected with the virus in the past, but there is no evidence that the test can prove whether a person has Immunity, or there is no longer any risk of reinfection.
