It is possible to reduce mortality from COVID-19 by 75% by protecting the most vulnerable group of the population, which is only 5%. This conclusion was made by scientists at Oxford University, after processing data from more than 8 million patients. Results published in BMJ on Thursday 22 October. As it turned out, 76% of deaths during the first wave of the pandemic happened among people from the suspected risk group. " That being said, the idea of \u200b\u200btargeted blocking has been discussed since the beginning since the pandemic was declared in March.. " For us, this means that we can now identify in advance these most vulnerable people, for whom the risk of getting sick is 50 times greater than the other 95%.

This result confirms the concept of targeted blocking, if you find ways to protect these 5%, for example, regular testing of their closest contacts, then this would greatly facilitate the work of the health system as a whole, " Earlier it became known how coronavirus affects the nervous system. During illness, the central nervous system suffers more from the immune response than from the virus itself. Scientists also explained why women are less susceptible to COVID-19. Researchers surveyed 22,000 people in Europe, the USA, Australia and New Zealand and found differences in the behavior of women and men in a pandemic. News from in Telegram.
