These people are the reason why the coronavirus will not stop spreading – BGR

• A new study indicates that those most likely to spread the new coronavirus are young and middle-aged adults.
• The study found that people aged 20-49 were responsible for more than 70% of COVID-19 transmission in the US. But most people who experience severe, life-threatening COVID-19 are older than 50.
• Additional mitigation measures may be needed to reduce transmission in outbreaks, including vaccination of younger age groups that are likely to spread the disease.

The number of daily cases of coronavirus has been declining for several weeks in the US and other countries which experienced huge increases at the end of 2020, just as vaccination campaigns are on the rise. But the virus is still spreading at an alarming rate. America’s COVID-19 infection curve may eventually show a downward trend, but the country still registers more than 120,000 infections per day. In addition, three new coronavirus strains are spreading rapidly, including British, South African and Brazilian mutations. The South African version can avoid the action of neutralizing antibodies of previous COVID-19 and favor reinfection, which means that the mutation can also reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

These mutations can always provoke new waves if health measures are not respected and if the vaccination campaigns cannot be expanded. The latest discovery drives the same point home, outlining the measures to be taken with the age group largely responsible for the spread of COVID-19.

The CDC just explained how most people are likely to catch COVID-19. They will contract the disease if they stand within six feet of someone who is infected. When the person coughs, sneezes or simply speaks and breathes, droplets and aerosols may be released into the air and infect others.

Researchers from the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London have now identified the most likely group of people spreading the virus-laden particles.

According to the new study published in Science, it is people between 20 and 49 years of age who are responsible for at least 70% of coronavirus transmission in the US. The scientists found that school-going students up to the age of 19 contributed only 15% of the COVID-19 transfer. The study also indicates that people older than 50 have the age group that was most affected, registering the most deaths during the late summer and fall of 2020.

“It deals with this underlying false story … that if you protect the most vulnerable, you can spread the virus,” he said. John Brownstein said. ABCNews. “If you let it grow in the younger age groups, it will still affect the elderly and the vulnerable.” Brownstein is an epidemiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital and he was not involved in the research.

The researchers rely on data from math and mobility to model COVID-19 transmission and find that the movement of young and middle-aged adults is the primary driver of infections.

“Certain age groups, such as young adults, leave their hats on,” Brownstein said. ‘[The report] places more responsibility on those in the younger age groups who are trying to lead a normal life and have had some COVID fatigue. ‘

The health expert also addressed the reopening of the school and said that the report indicates that children are not the main driver of infections.

This new study also offers suggestions for reducing further outbreaks. ‘In places where there is not yet a highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 generation, additional interventions among adults aged 20-49, such as mass vaccination with transmission-blocking vaccines, can bring resuscitated COVID-19 epidemics under control and deaths can occur, ”the researchers wrote.

There is currently a shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, so only certain categories of people mostly qualify for it. Young and middle-aged adults may still have to wait to be eligible unless governments put in place the vaccination protocols. As for ‘additional interventions’ that may reduce the risk of transmission, they remain the same, regardless of mutations. Face masks, social distance, regular hand washing, adequate ventilation of indoor spaces and the avoidance of indoor people have been shown to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
