Corona is not just an infectious and dangerous virus, but it is confusing, volatile, and mysterious. Therefore, there are many opinions, directions, and policies on how to confront it, and it causes doctors' confusion. In front of real suffering, and complex confusion, it is difficult for her to choose what is the right decision that she can resort to!
To demonstrate this, a new scientific report by the famous Harvard University, by the way, is a shocking report, as he sees that the countries that are pressing hard now to stop the "Corona" infection, through quarantine and curfews, will be exposed to a dangerous wave of disease in the fall and winter, but rather a shocking surprise. What is more in this report is that it is consistent with the strategy followed by Sweden to deal with infection, and it is known that Sweden's strategy is completely contrary to what has been applied by most countries of the world, but it has been subjected to violent criticism from several countries, because it did not move a finger, and no restrictions were imposed on the movement of the population !
The Harvard report continues to provide its most shocking information, as it was concluded that "closing society now is the worst that can be done, and even worse by not taking any action", stressing that, with no medicine or vaccine against the emerging virus, social separation is the first weapon of control On the spread of infection.
The report, prepared by four scientists in epidemiology and immunology, was based on a simple principle, “infection cannot be stopped”, while these scientists set the goal of “making sure that the number of infected people does not exceed the capacity of medical care to absorb, and therefore the most successful strategy is to activate Social separation, when the number of injuries increases to a certain limit, and restrictions are reduced when the number of casualties decreases.
They are betting that this strategy will succeed in reducing the need for social separation over time, as the number of people recovering increases, becomes immune, and does not contribute to the spread of the disease, and they expect the need for social separation to end completely, during the first half of 2021, without Treat or vaccine!
The report seems more realistic, given the data and conditions of the current status of the virus, and all indications confirm that it is impossible for any country in the world to survive long under strict restrictions, but in return there are those who warn, and strongly, against reducing restrictions, as Britain has adopted a policy similar to the policy of Sweden At the beginning of the crisis, which was the “herd immunity”, it quickly retracted it, and the government even recognized that it was a “failed” policy, after this theory collided with the facts, as a new analysis was proposed by the immunologists at Imperial College London and the London College of Health and Tropical Medicine, That up to 30% of Corona patients will need to enter the Intensive care, if the government continues the group's immunity policy, or "herd immunity"!
The matter is very complicated, and choosing between control theories is not an easy thing, so we here in the UAE have full confidence in the government's actions and measures, as they are the only ones that can direct the policies and measures to combat "Corona" in the right direction, and they are the only ones able to assess the situation correctly, so let us leave The matter is for the concerned parties, and we, as a society, strictly adhere to what comes out of them.
