Covid-19. How Portugal was created the best of both worlds and if one wanders a sixth the observer
The increase of the last few days is not without consequences for the control of Covid-19 in Portugal: with young people in older age groups the virus, the curvature of admissions has stabilized instead of continuing to decline; The number of deaths will take longer to reach the line of 20 deaths in two weeks per million inhabitants – the necessary milestone for all measures against the pandemic to be lifted.
In mid-February, a forecast that the experts delivered to the Government said that it would take five weeks to descend to the red line of deaths. This data has already been surpassed this Thursday: a new forecast from scientists says that Portugal will take more than 12 days to two weeks to two weeks per million inhabitants. And, therefore, even at the beginning of it is that mortality goes to a new and total April of the measures.
Portugal has an arsenal of weapons against SARS-2 that few-CoV offers: a good balance between a third to natural, with the balance of the population diagnosed with Covid-19, a prevention tax against Covid-1. There are countries that lack the first and others that lack the second.
The plan is backfiring the countries that, in the last two years of the pandemic, have been dodging the five waves of new cases. The zero Covid-19 policy, which several countries virtually isolated from the rest of the world with heavy measures at the slightest sign of out of control, now has a bitter consequence: how the new-coV-2s were found, are the ones that are now found in variants (more transmissible) with more weapons besides the vaccine. Natural immunity, this one, almost doesn’t exist.
South Korea was one of the countries to follow this strategy, but this Thursday recorded a new maximum number of Covid-19 infections, with more than 621,000 cases. The number represents a 55% jump from last Wednesday’s data.; and 120% in relation to the values revealed a week ago.
China, which was the first to identify the new coronavirus, is now facing the worst outbreaks since the first wave of Covid-19 in early 2020. But in South Korea, the population is situated in lockdown, with tight measures in the cities of Shenzhen, the population is situated in lockdown, with tight measures in the cities. , and the government is carrying out mass testing.
To alleviate the pressure that the number of new case facilities may be forced to exert on the healthcare system, patients as patients who may be isolated or with facilities may be isolated. The China Health Commission has decided that, taking into account the results of a study on the transmission capacity of the most recent variants of SARS-CoV-2, only people with severe symptoms should be hospitalized.
