Alert of English scientists. COVID-19's main lies are forgotten

The decision was made to prevent public health hospitals (NHS) from being flooded by hundreds of thousands of new cases of patients seriously infected with SARS-COV-2.

However, nothing proves that the health service is currently prepared if another fatal virus occurs in the near futureScientists say to the British newspaper The guardian.The Pandemic of COVID-19 remains a theme sensitive to the United Kingdom, where the conservative government of the time was accused of having reacted to the crisis too late.

“All winters, even before their covid, hospitals were managed very close to the limit,” said Rowland Kao of the University of Edinburgh. “When the disease arrived, the NHS could simply no longer hold.

According to experts, there is also no evidence that the country included the psychological consequences launched by the placement of the nation in detention.

For Dominic Abrams, professor of social psychology at the University of Kent, isolation may have been moderately effective in reducing infections, but underestimated the need for connection, contact and community.

“There seemed to be almost no strategy to meet these basic needs. Social and psychological scars remain extensive and deep.”

Despite social distancing, the use of masks and the use of tests were widely used, there was no subsequent attempt to understand their usefulness and their importancePaul Hunter hours of East Anglia University.

“My great regret is that we have not yet reached scientific consensus on the value and efficiency of non -pharmaceutical interventions [NPI]”He pointed out.” We know that NPI reduces transmission. But if the advantages prevail over the damage is still far from clear, “he said.

Already the International and economic implications They were underlined by Andrew Shepherd, director of the chronic poverty council network. “The confines are not suitable for all countries. During the pandemic, the richest nations put pressure on low and average income countries to introduce confines, with disastrous consequences.

“Most of these countries were unable to alleviate the loss of jobs, income and businesses just like us in the United Kingdom and the result has been a massive impoverishment which will take years to recover.”

Michael Chief of the University of Southampton recognized that the The confines are a vital component of any response to a pandemic.

“But we need more intelligent confines that are put into practice in an earlier phase of the explosion to better reduce transmission and therefore a shorter duration.”

The birthday was also marked by a group made up of nearly 10,000 people crying by the pandemic which he wrote to the Chancellor at the Treasury, Rachel Reeves, asking him not to move forward with the disability reduction plan.

“Green inequality has contributed to the high number of deaths [covid-19] In the United Kingdom, “read the British newspaper to which the British newspaper had access.

“”People with disabilities are 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than people without disability. Instead of responding to the inequalities that have contributed to this horrible statistics, the government goes ahead with plans to reduce subsidies to disabled people, leading more people to poverty and making the country even less prepared for future pandemics.

“The government has promised to learn from the pandemic, but seems to suffer from cocovid amnesia, forgetting the devastating cost of health and public services underground reduced to the minimum,” added the letter sent to Rachel Reeves.List of 24 infectious diseases to monitor

Five years after the COVVI-19 pandemic, which caused more than 232,000 United Kingdom in the United Kingdom and to prevent a new health crisis, a list of 24 infectious diseases to monitor.

This guide for “priority pathogens” is designed to help researchers focus their efforts on certain viruses and bacteria that represent a threat to public healthexplains the press release from the UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA).

Surveillance viruses include Ebola and Mpox, whose epicenterors are outside the United Kingdom, but whose risk of pathogen is high.

Aviary flu, E. coli bacteria and mosquito -transmitted diseases are also on the list.

To create this list, the Scientists have evaluated the epidemic potential of each viral family, analyzing the severity of the disease, the transmission paths and the previous pandemics.

“This tool is an essential guide for industry and the academic world,” said Isabel Olivier, chief scientist of Ukhsa, quoted in the press release.

The objective is to encourage scientists and investors to develop new tests, vaccines or medicines.

In the end, the objective is to encourage scientists and investors to develop new tests, vaccines or medicines.

The list will be updated at least once a year.
