Con l\u2019arrivo del clima pi\u00f9 freddo, i tassi di Covid stanno nuovamente aumentando nell\u2019emisfero settentrionale, con diverse nuove varianti sulla scena.<\/p>\n

Ecco cosa devi sapere<\/p>\n

La pandemia di Covid ha avuto un bilancio terribile, con quasi sette milioni di morti in tutto il mondo.<\/p>\n

Ma grazie ai vaccini, all\u2019immunit\u00e0 preventiva e ai trattamenti migliori, il virus \u00e8 ora molto pi\u00f9 gestibile. Negli Stati Uniti, l\u2019eccesso di morti \u2013 il numero totale di persone che muoiono per una determinata causa \u2013 \u00e8 normale dalla primavera.<\/p>\n

\u201cSe mi chiedessi di scegliere tra prendere l\u2019influenza e il Covid, sceglierei il Covid perch\u00e9 ogni singolo caso di influenza \u00e8 pi\u00f9 pericoloso\u201d, ha detto Ashish Jha, ex coordinatore Covid della Casa Bianca e decano della sanit\u00e0 pubblica alla Brown University.<\/p>\n

Ma sebbene il Covid sia ora meno mortale per le persone, \u201csembra anche avere tassi pi\u00f9 elevati di complicanze a lungo termine\u201d.<\/p>\n

Il Covid \u00e8 anche meno stagionale dell\u2019influenza, pi\u00f9 contagioso, e negli ultimi tre inverni statunitensi ha raggiunto il picco da dicembre a gennaio, mentre l\u2019influenza raggiunge il picco pi\u00f9 tardi.<\/p>\n

Amesh Adalja, specialista in malattie infettive presso il Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, ha classificato il Covid \u201calla pari\u201d con l\u2019influenza e l\u2019RSV, ma ha sottolineato che \u00e8 pi\u00f9 grave del comune raffreddore.<\/p>\n

Pfizer, Moderna e Novavax hanno sviluppato nuovi vaccini che colpiscono pi\u00f9 da vicino le varianti attuali, tutte derivazioni di Omicron che \u00e8 diventato dominante alla fine del 2021.<\/p>\n

Esiste un ampio consenso sul fatto che i booster annuali andranno a beneficio dei pi\u00f9 vulnerabili. Ma se essi apportino valore aggiunto a tutti \u00e8 oggetto di dibattito.<\/p>\n

Quasi tutti sono gi\u00e0 stati infettati, dimostrano gli studi. E le precedenti infezioni combinate con i vaccini hanno addestrato il sistema immunitario a fermare esiti gravi anche quando non riescono a scongiurare l\u2019infezione.<\/p>\n

Le raccomandazioni valide per tutti non hanno pi\u00f9 senso e potrebbero diminuire la fiducia nella salute pubblica, ha affermato Monica Gandhi, autrice di \u201cEndemic: A Post-Pandemic Playbook\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ad esempio, i vaccini a mRNA di Pfizer e Moderna comportano piccoli rischi di infiammazione del cuore negli uomini pi\u00f9 giovani.<\/p>\n

Le nazioni europee consigliano le vaccinazioni annuali solo per i gruppi a rischio pi\u00f9 elevato, ma alcuni esperti non vedono svantaggi in raccomandazioni pi\u00f9 ampie.<\/p>\n

\u201cLe persone a basso rischio traggono comunque beneficio dai richiami\u201d, ha affermato Ziyad Al-Aly, epidemiologo della Washington University di St. Louis. Gli Stati Uniti raccomandano che quasi tutti ricevano vaccini Covid annuali.<\/p>\n

Gli esperti divergono su questo argomento, uno dei pi\u00f9 controversi della pandemia.<\/p>\n

Una revisione dei dati degli studi clinici condotta dalla rispettata organizzazione no-profit Cochrane sulla possibilit\u00e0 che la promozione dell\u2019uso delle mascherine abbia aiutato a rallentare i virus respiratori ha trovato risultati inconcludenti.<\/p>\n

Pertanto, non \u00e8 stato dimostrato se i mandati ampi abbiano un effetto significativo.<\/p>\n

Ci\u00f2 che i ricercatori sanno, grazie agli esperimenti di laboratorio, \u00e8 che maschere ben adattate e di alto calibro come le N-95 proteggono le persone.<\/p>\n

"Gli individui possono quindi scegliere di indossare maschere ben adattate e filtrate in ambienti chiusi per fornire protezione personale dagli agenti patogeni respiratori", ha affermato Gandhi, professore all'Universit\u00e0 della California, a San Francisco, sebbene creda nei vaccini per prevenire malattie gravi, comprese tra le malattie pi\u00f9 gravi. alto rischio.<\/p>\n

Gli esperti concordano sul fatto che \u00e8 logico che le persone a rischio \u2013 gli anziani e coloro che soffrono di patologie come cancro, obesit\u00e0 e diabete \u2013 effettuino test quando presentano sintomi.<\/p>\n

Questo perch\u00e9 questi gruppi \u201ctrarrebbero beneficio dalla terapia antivirale entro la finestra di cinque giorni\u201d, ha affermato Adaja.<\/p>\n

Il trattamento pi\u00f9 importante \u00e8 Paxlovid, che ha dimostrato di ridurre il rischio di malattie gravi e di morte tra le persone ad alto rischio.<\/p>\n

Alcuni sistemi sanitari hanno deciso che testare le persone a rischio \u00e8 tutto ci\u00f2 che serve.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa maggior parte delle persone non ha pi\u00f9 bisogno di sottoporsi al test del coronavirus. Per prevenire la diffusione dell\u2019infezione, dovresti cercare di rimanere a casa se non stai bene\u201d, afferma il Sistema sanitario nazionale del Regno Unito.<\/p>\n

La ricerca sul Covid lungo \u2013 sintomi che persistono per settimane o mesi \u2013 rimane nebulosa e ostacolata dalla mancanza di definizioni standardizzate per una condizione che ha molteplici cause, ha affermato Adalja.<\/p>\n

Al-Aly stima che la prevalenza sia compresa tra 4 e 7%, ovvero 65 milioni di persone in tutto il mondo.<\/p>\n

\u201cPurtroppo non abbiamo fatto progressi nel trattamento del Covid a lungo termine. Questa dovrebbe essere una priorit\u00e0 urgente per la ricerca\u201d, ha affermato.<\/p>\n

Sembra che la vaccinazione preventiva riduca il rischio di Covid a lungo termine e che la condizione sia correlata alla gravit\u00e0 dell\u2019infezione.<\/p>\n

Il governo degli Stati Uniti ha finanziato diversi studi sulla condizione, con uno studio recente che ha scoperto che un farmaco per il diabete chiamato metformina ha ridotto il rischio di sintomi in corso di 40%.<\/p>\n

Jha ha detto che spera di avere pi\u00f9 dati sui trattamenti nei prossimi mesi.<\/p>\n

In the United States, excess deaths -- the total number of people dying for any given cause -- has been normal since spring."If you asked me to choose between getting flu and Covid, I would pick Covid because each individual case of flu is more dangerous," said Ashish Jha, a former White House Covid coordinator and dean of public health at Brown University.But while Covid is now less deadly to individuals, "it also seems to have higher rates of long term complications."Covid is also less seasonal than the flu, more contagious, and over the last three U.S. winters peaked from December to January, while flu peaks later.Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, placed Covid "on par" with flu and RSV, but stressed it was more severe than the common cold.Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax have developed new vaccines that more closely target current variants, all offshoots of Omicron which became dominant in late 2021.There is broad consensus that annual boosters will benefit the most vulnerable.

This should be an urgent priority for research,\" he said.It does appear that prior vaccination reduces the risk of long Covid, and that the condition is correlated with severity of infection.The US government has funded several trials into the condition, with one recent study finding a diabetes drug called metformin reduced the risk of ongoing symptoms by 40%.Jha said he was hopeful of more data on treatments in the coming months.","og_url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/it\/covid-torna-ecco-cosa-sapere-questo-autunno-e-inverno\/","og_site_name":"Urban Care Clinic","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar","article_published_time":"2023-09-13T08:24:03+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"author":"Urban Care Clinic","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter.jpg","twitter_misc":{"Scritto da":"Urban Care Clinic","Tempo di lettura stimato":"4 minuti"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/"},"author":{"name":"Urban Care Clinic","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/f286c4d84be896d302aceda3ed7e789c"},"headline":"Covid’s Back: Here’s What To Know This Fall And Winter","datePublished":"2023-09-13T08:24:03+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/"},"wordCount":732,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter.jpg","articleSection":["Medical Daily"],"inLanguage":"it-IT"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/","url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/covids-back-heres-what-to-know-this-fall-and-winter\/","name":"Il Covid \u00e8 tornato: ecco cosa sapere questo autunno e inverno -
