Questions about coronavirus mutations

Excellent question, Juan. In fact, the mutations are produced every time the virus replicates to infect a person.

Agreed with this, it is possible that those areas are geographical in that many infections are related to their own variants.

The problem, Juan, is that not all countries are invigorating in genomic vigilance, it is in the genomic analysis or sequencing of the virus, because the variants can be detected.

Questions about the vaccine against coronavirus

Hello, Jaime. It’s a very good question. In agreement with the Centers for the Prevention and Control of Unified States of the United States, the persons who had covied-19 were able to evacuate, immediately after having completed the 14 days of quarantine.

But if it is mentioned that the vaccine can be administered to a person with covid-19, as a species of treatment, he says no.

For this purpose, monoclonal anticoagulants are used, which contain specific anticonvulsants against the virus.

Recall that the vaccine despises the defense system of the person receiving it, approaching approximately weeks to produce anti-cancer.

Hello, José. If it is in good physical health condition, you can receive any type of vaccine.

Recall that the first female to be vaccinated in the United Kingdom, Margaret Keenan, was exactly 90 years old when she applied the first dose and completed 91 in the following week.

Hello, Cecilia. When evacuating a person, it produces large quantities of a type of neutralizing anticonvulsant directed against the protein of the new coronavirus spike.

It is the case that the vacancies of phase 1,2 and 3 clinical studies are being evacuated.

Hello, Wilmer. Very good question. No, this reasoning is not correct.

Record that the efficacy is the result of a phase 3 study, and by this, this number is -80% – indicates the protection given by the vaccine, compares against a placebo and does not indicate the level of protection of the vaccine by itself. .

Very good to ask, César, but he says that the SARS CoV2 virus is the only one that can have variants in some countries, the vacancies -has the moment- are active against all the variants.

Good morning, Eduardo. Remember that none of the vacancies contain the fully active or contagious virus.

For that matter, neither Sputnik V, nor any other, can cause the enfermedad.

Questions about the vaccine and other diseases

Hello, Eduardo, good morning. We record -for our eyes- that neutropenia means that a type of white globules, called neutrophils or granulocytes (which are framed to devour the microbes) are very diminished.

There is no problem with vaccination because it is another type of white globules -inflocitos- that act in the reaction to the vaccine, but it is a question that only the medicine that the patient can respond to.

Hello, Joseph. The treatment given to your mother is not a contraindication to receiving any vaccine.

I believe I need to be vaccinated, although it is always important to consult with your personal physician.

Hello, Alex. The penis is a chronic disease of the skin that is usually of the autoimmune type.

Although the vacancy is allowed for persons who suffer from autoimmune diseases, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist who will treat you to obtain his opinion.

Good morning, Eddy. However, we know that there is no contraindication for patients with rhinitis problems who can receive some type of vaccine.

It is embarrassing to see that you consult with the patient’s doctor for a more specific opinion.

Questions about oxygen saturation in blood and the oximeter

Good morning, David. It is also important to complete the pork, control the product, etc.

One way of trying is the oximeter that works well and takes the saturation of various people. If on them it is still 95%, the device is working well.

Hello, Eduardo. I do not say that the age of teenagers, and how many others live, even though we know your level of basic saturation, is the level of saturation that tenies have tenid covid-19.

It is possible that this is a normal level for you. Die akonsejo ver a tu doctor para una evaluation evaluation.

According to higher education in Peru, saturation at 3,400 meters above sea level is 87 to 95% and 3,600 meters is between 84% and 93%.

Other questions about coronavirus

Hello, Hernán. Agreed with the United States Medicines and Food Administration (FDA, by its English seal), the ability to contact food or its children is kept to a minimum, while it has always been sufficient.

Excellent question, César. The reason why health care staff members use protective gear is to protect themselves from the gruesome secretions of fumes and aerosols, which can contaminate ordinary blood and cause contagion.

It has not been demonstrated that the virus is transmitted through the skin, the digestive vagina or the sexual vagina.

Hola, Miguel, excellent pregunta. Remember that the people who cov-19 produce antidepressants, the cats can last in the song for some months.

In other words, have antiseptic in the song, months after the infection, indicate that the person has the infection, but that he has at the moment, and so can not be contagious.
