Corona.. About 300.000 deaths, Health Organization warns : virus may not disappear at all

The World Health Organization warned that the new Corona virus "may never disappear", and it may become a disease that humanity has to live with, while the number of deaths of the epidemic approaches 300 thousand in the world. The organization's emergency program executive manager Michael Ryan said - in a press conference on the Internet - "there is a new virus that spreads among humans for the first time, so it is very difficult to expect when it can be rolled".
He added saying "this virus may become just another endemic virus in our societies, and may not disappear at all", referring - for example - to HIV virus that causes AIDS. Ryan called for dealing with the matter realistically, indicating that no one can predict the date of disappearance of the old virus of Cufid-19, adding that great efforts are needed to control the virus even after reaching a vaccine.

Troubling studies

Meanwhile, a US study showed that the virus can move with words, not only through cough and sneezing. The study - carried out by researchers in the National Institute for stomach, diabetes and kidney diseases in the United States - indicates that the speech produces small particles that can remain suspended in the air in a closed place for more than ten minutes, which highlights the likely role of these particles in spreading the new Corona virus. Researchers conducted an experiment in which a person spoke loudly, repeating the phrase "keep healthy" for 25 seconds inside a closed box.

The laser shedding showed small particles that can be seen and recorded on the box, and remained suspended in the air for 12 minutes, according to the study published in the magazine of National Academy of Sciences Lecturer in the United States of America. Meanwhile, a New York study showed that more than one-third of patients treated by a major health institution were severely infected with kidney damage, and that about 15% needed kidney dialysis. The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Northwell Health, New York State's largest health care institution. "We discovered that, when 5,449 patients were studied, 36.6% suffered severe kidney damage," said Dr. Kenar Jaffari, a researcher.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread in several countries, and has declined in others. The total number of confirmed cases in the world reached 4.36 million, more than 297.000 died, and 1.56 million recovered, according to the collected statistics published by US Johns Hopkins University.

Disagreement in America

The American people are following up a public disagreement between President Donald Trump and the chief expert in the crisis management cell. Trump said he was surprised by statements made by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases Director Anthony Focci before a parliamentary committee Tuesday, in which he warned against the dangers of resuming public activities early, describing Focci's answer as unacceptable, especially when it comes to schools. "The only thing that would be acceptable is if it is related to teachers who are above a certain age, as this slide can inherit an additional four or five weeks. This is a disease that targets people of a certain age and in a certain health condition."

US president stressed in press statements the necessity of opening schools' doors again by states governors, considering that the virus's effect on youth is very low.

Million checks in China

Authorities in the Chinese city of Wuhan - the first focus of Corona epidemic - continue a campaign of tests that include all the city citizens, after new injuries appeared in the city during the last days. Aljazeera correspondent in Beijing, Shimma Ju Ei, said that authorities set ten days to carry out this mission that started yesterday, Wednesday, and clarified that it carries out accurate tests of the nuclear acid. Wuhan has a population of about 11 million. Spokeswoman of China's National Health Committee Song Shu Lee confirmed - during a daily press briefing - that authorities will intensify examinations to prevent a second wave of Corona epidemic. New infections in China have generally decreased, but fears have renewed after an increase in infection has been reported in the two regions of Jilin and Liaoning (northeast of the country).

Japan ends emergency

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared lifting the state of emergency in 39 out of 47 Japanese provinces, but said it will remain in effect in the capital Tokyo and Osaka city, the second biggest urban center in the country. Shinzo said - in a press conference today (Thursday) - "while we control the spread of the virus as much as possible by acting on the assumption that the virus is everywhere around us, we will return to work and normal daily life". Japan imposed a state of emergency nationwide a month ago, and urged citizens to reduce direct communication between them by 80% to slow the spread of the virus.

Spread in Europe

a study published by the Spanish government Wednesday said that 5% of Spain citizens were infected with the virus, although this rate rises to more than 10% in Madrid and regions in the center of the country. A similar study in France showed that about 10% of the citizens were infected with the disease in Paris region and in the northeast of the country, the worst-hit regions in France, against 4.4% on the national level.

The curve in the Arab world

The curve of new infections with Corona virus is still rising in several Arab countries, as the severe restrictions continue to contain the crisis. The Qatari Ministry of Health declared today that 1733 new infections were recorded with the virus, raising the total number of infections to 28 thousand and 272. In the UAE, 698 new cases were recorded, bringing the total number to 21,84, and two deaths were recorded, bringing the total to 208. Kuwaiti Ministry of Health declared recording 947 new cases of Corona virus, bringing the total number to 11,000 and 975, and six new deaths were recorded, raising the total number of deaths in the country to 88. In Oman, 322 new cases were reported, bringing the total number of injuries to 4341.
