የድሮ ጎርፍ እና የዘንድሮ ኮሮና
Posted: 19 Apr 2020, 01:51
ድሮ ጎርፍ እያሳሳቀ ይወስዳል ይባል ነበር፣ ድልድይ መስራት በሰፊዉ ሳይለመድ በፊት።
ዘንድሮ ኮሮና እያራራቀ ያዘናጋል ማለት ይቻላል?
One of my favorite things to do is sitting home on the eve of a new year and watch TV as planet Earth becomes vibrant from corner to corner.
Imagine that the last one happened just a few months ago.
The coronavirus pandemic made it feel that it happened a long time ago. The contrast between that celebration just a few months ago and this global scale feeling because of this pandemic seems unreal.
Imagine that this is happening through a microscopic virus. My instinct tells me I would rather face it and win it or lose it. That was me before I started to listen to the experiences of so many health care workers. Then it becomes another instinct of avoiding the possibility of being a burden on others.
When you look at the recovery rate, someone who contracts the virus is more likely to recover than not if there are no underlying health conditions. Then again, we all know that one life is too many and people want to save as many lives as possible during this pandemic.
What would be the worst case scenario, including in Africa, if more people who contract the virus are more likely to recover than not? Does how all people react to the situation change for the better if all are convinced that it doesn't get any worse than that? Does that realization help in terms of being creative to lessen the effect of the pandemic?
I have lived in the U.S. for many years. About every flu season every year, I have heard about taking flu shots. Every time that I heard about it, I have made a conscious decision to not take it. I prefer my natural immunity to fight against it. I have never been sick from the flu. So, I would imagine that I have been asymptomatic to it; it is hard to imagine that it has never got to me all these years.
Now, I wonder how much those who have been asymptomatic to the flu are affected by coronavirus. Is the recovery rate of coronavirus patients among those who have been asymptomatic to the flu the same, better, or worse than those who have become sick from it in the past. This is the question that I missed among all those that have been asked on TV.
I am unsure if I have been possibly exposed to coronavirus early on and may have been asymptomatic. I hear that people who are tested and proven to be in this kind of situation can possibly become a source of immunity for others.
It appears to me that the ability to quickly screen those who are asymptomatic and mobilizing them and their source of immunity is one of the gaps that are evident during this pandemic. I understand this is easier said than done. However, is it not doable sooner than later, especially in a country as advanced in technology and innovation as the US?
