El contagio de covid-19: lo que studia la ciencia

One year after the start of the pandemic in China, science is learning about the new coronavirus, the covid-19 disease and its mode of contagion.

Recently, for example, an article in the magazine Nature I would like to point out that – if it is true that the contact with contaminated surfaces is a scientifically proven test – its contribution, compared with the contact with other respirators, is much less than what is thought.

Another of the points that is in full study is the degree of contact that can occur in the hogar when one of the members develops covid-19.

A recent investigation map, published on February 26 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, contributed to the debate, concluding that one in 10 people living in the case of a contact person will have a positive test for the new coronavirus.

¿Contagio de covid-19 en el hogar?

The study consisted of reviewing the clinical histories of 7,262 patients with covid-19 confirmed by a PCR test. Los pacientes fueron atendidos en el sistema Massa-General Brigham de Boston, within the 4th of March and the 17th of May 2020.

Each of these cases was named an index case.

The idea is that, teninéndose in the history of electronic clinics the direction of the case of each of these indexed cases, can be removed:

  1. Counting people living in these houses and,
  2. Quantities of these individuals, in the following days in the case indicated, a positive test for the new coronavirus.

The results indicate that the 7,262 index cases were recorded in the case of 18,000 people living in the same direction. In these cases, there are between six and 10 people, with equal numbers of men and women, with a media edition of 36 years and one of which is less than 18 years old.

A total of 1,809 covid-19 cases included 18,000 people in the cases.

This is an overall incidence of covid-19 of 10.1%. The mediocre time since the case was diagnosed was observed, although some live in the case were also diagnosed with covid-19, three days ago.

Who has the mayor’s risk of contagion?

The people who worked for the mayor of Rijgo to fight the mayor for 18 years. Also those who have had multiple death threats.

In this sense, the mayors of 50 years should have four more chances to contagious. People with high blood pressure should take the most likely chances to get rid of the infection.

A posterior analysis revealed that, if only in the case of live individuals, the calculated contagion risk was 13.8%.

The authors state that the result of his work is related to a recent study of methanalysis, in which 54 studies were analyzed with 77,758 participants, compared to 16.6% of the people living in the case of the above. .

Authors also recognize that their studio has limitations. Meanwhile, those who have been diagnosed with secondary cases only between those who seek medical advice are likely to have life-threatening or unexplained cases of powdery mildew.

The conclusions of the studio

The authors suggest that, although only three of these days in the media present the secondary case (this is a relatively short incubation period), it is possible that some of the contagios are not caused by the index case, meaning that they are contact another person, a visitor at the house for example.

In practical terms, it is important to know that if there are any respiratory failure syndromes in the case, the female demons must assume that they are covid-19 y, therefore, deben emphysema the Islamic means of the case and the mandatory use of mascarillas.

The study also suggests that organizing social gatherings at the home, inviting people who do not live in the hogar, can be an important source of contact.
