I strongly urge all #scientists to return to their laboratories and conduct thorough #research on the topics within their purview.

#Health policy and #restriction decisions are the responsibility of the government and must consider multiple factors. 🇬🇧

In my opinion, Lancet did very poorly to publish the document accessible from the link: thelancet.com/journals/lance…

This is undue political pressure on the #UK government to try to prevent a return to normal life.

While I understand the scientists' concerns, it must be strongly stated that a #pandemic is not forever! 🤞🍀

#Vaccination of the UK population will provide adequate protection. 🛡️

Let's remember that during the #pandemic many #scientists made catastrophic #predictions that turned out to be, fortunately, unfounded, but that created serious and uncompensable #psychological damage to a fragile part of the population.

In addition, unnecessary and harmful #lockdowns have impoverished an important part of the population that will not be compensated. 😞

Medical journals should not lend themselves to pressure from groups of scientists acting on the basis of questionable beliefs ..

..that reduce public confidence in medicine and #science.

The #pandemic must become a topic solely for scientific research, and the rare severe #COVID19 patients who will get sick in the coming years must be properly treated. 🙏

Have a great summer to all of you! 🏖️❤️

A new coronavirus being 20 times more lethal than COVID19? Unlikely. 🤔

During the #WEF in Davos, there was discussion of a potential new #pandemic called #Disease_X that could cause 20 times more deaths than #COVID19. Is this a plausible scenario? Let's examine it.

As we know, the first circulating variant and subsequent variants proved to be highly pathogenic.
They were characterized by a "spike" protein with high affinity for the human ACE2 receptor, which facilitated coronavirus entry into human cells and determined pathogenic effects.

Bilateral pneumonia and inflammatory storms were the main causes of #death in patients during the first months of #coronavirus circulation.

How long would the #COVID19 #pandemic have lasted without the #vaccine?

We have two ways to answer this question: the first is the #historical one, i.e. looking at the past and understanding how many years the previous pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted. (1/9) Image
The available data tell us that all pandemics caused by respiratory #viruses lasted about two years:

-Influenza A H1N1 (swine flu), caused by an #influenza A virus of swine origin, lasted from April 2009 to August 2010.

-Influenza A H3N2 (Hong Kong flu), (2/9)
caused by an influenza A virus that emerged in 1968 and replaced the previous H2N2 #virus, which lasted until 1970.

Influenza A H2N2 (Asian flu), caused by an #influenza A virus that emerged in 1957 and replaced the previous H1N1 virus, which lasted until 1958. (3/9)
