Torreón, Coahuila.- People of all ages are prone to getting Covid-19, however there are sectors of the population that are at greater risk of ending up with fatal consequences, for which special attention, prevention and care are requested.
Advanced age
From the age of 65 this pandemic more violates integrity, since the death rate worldwide abounds from 80 years onwards.
Lung problems
The virus is distinguished by attacking the lungs, causing breathing problems. This is why extreme care is encouraged with people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Weakened immune system
It is also necessary to guarantee the safety, in terms of avoiding contagions, of those who carry cancer treatments, have an organ or bone marrow transplant, or HIV / AIDS.
Heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity
People with diabetes, hypertension, cardiac complications, high blood pressure, or extreme obesity are more likely to have dangerous symptoms if they become infected with Covid-19. Here it is necessary to have more attention if it is considered that Coahuila occupies the first places of obesity and overweight in both children and adults.
According to the director of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Coahuila (UAdeC) and of the University Hospital (HU) of Torreón Salvador Chavarría Vázquez, this pandemic takes more life from people with weak health systems, like those before mentioned.
However, it revealed that nine out of 10 are asymptomatic, which increases the spread.
The best weapon in the face of this health crisis is to reduce mobility as much as possible, staying at home, using face masks and frequently disinfecting your hands.
“What is expected is happening, which is the increase in infections and deaths, and it continues more for the Lagunera region if people do not understand.”
Given:
Nine out of 10 patients are asymptomatic.
