CORONAVIRUS SEASONALITY

Now that summer is warming our hearts, it's tempting to think this coronavirus will go away of itself.  It's too early to make that assumption

We're used to colds and flu being a winter thing.  But this SARS2 coronavirus is not flu.

Have you ever had a summer cold?  Around 15-20% of colds are coronaviruses.  Viruses with the same basic structure and similar mechanism to enter cells as this SARS2.

We also know that COVID-19 is something experienced in the southern hemisphere in their late summer.  Whether that has helped New Zealand and Australia in their fight against COVID-19 is an interesting question.

I'm about to review some 1000 academic and medical papers as part of my helping a university professor with understanding aspects of COVID-19 testing.  I'll keep an eye out for relevant insight on seasonality and report back if I find anything.

ASSESSMENT OF PM JOHNSON'S PRESENTATION 10 May 2020

Image
Last night, Prime Minister Johnson made a televised presentation to the UK public.  The focus was on England, as the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are responsible for their own NHS and their own lockdown arrangements. GENERAL ASSESSMENT I welcome the general tone of the presentation.  As I hoped in the the previous post , the intention is to ease lockdown as fast as possible but cautiously.  Safety first, otherwise R will rise, infections will soar, and further lockdowns will be necessary.  Economic damage would then be worse than easing lockdown carefully. But as has been widely reported today (Monday), the lack of detail has meant widespread confusion and dismay. What was my initial reaction on PM Johnson's "road map"? There are 5 "Alert levels" (hence the "Stay Alert" message).  But vague on conditions for each step of the plan. Vague on timescales. Indeed the graphic for what would happen when bore n...

WHAT'S NEEDED IN PM JOHNSON'S "ROAD MAP", 10 May 2020

Image
Written Sunday 10 May 2020, before PM Johnson's presentation to the UK. In the previous post, we looked at how the UK has got to where it is with COVID-19 and the tragic count of deaths.  Yet the importance of easing lockdown rapidly but safely. Now let's look to the future.  What needs to be in PM Johnson's "roadmap"? WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO REALISE? What's important going forward?:  Vaccines won't be available to the general public for months, perhaps never. This SARS 2 coronavirus is different from flu, and no vaccine is guaranteed either effective or safe.  Any vaccine needs to be both Medicines and devices are bieng evaluated. Promising progress with medicines already proved effective against other viruses, and which are known to be adequately safe.  But still probably months away against COVID-19 Testing for the virus using swabbing is unreliable, especially for self-swabbing. "False negatives" mean that those with symptoms ...

SHOULD. SCHOOLS START RE-OPENING ON 1 JUNE?

Image
I recently wrote about the issues involved in partially re-opening schools , as hoped on 1 June. Yes it would be good to get some kids back to school.  For their sakes, their parents, and their employers.  Makes a lot of sense. But only if done safely.  For the kids.  But also for the adults.  Teachers, other staff and parents. Sir Patrick Vallance at the press conference on 22 May indicated that it would inevitably put upward pressure on R.  It was already 0.7 - 1.0 when last announced back on 15 May.   Yet we know how important it is to keep R below 1.0, and preferably below 0.5. I've now had chance to review the guidance for schools published recently by the government .   This was published on 12 May, with an update expected shortly. My earlier posting highlighted that adult to adult transmission is actually a bigger concern than child to child or child to adult, as children seem to have a natural immunity .  They rarely cat...
