Faithful with our readers to our informative appointment on the evolution of the Pandemic in the world epicenter of its research (USA) as well as its development in Spain, we cannot admit that it is also intended to erase from our memory, the millions of people affected and their tragedies. .
In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), declared last Friday, the implementation of an accelerated plan in the face of a supposed conflictive period expected for the autumn months, with a view to not suffering other pandemic attacks such as yesteryear.
According to WP, the authorities have requested the Laboratories to reformulate a new polyvalent and flexible vaccine with already known components and proven efficacy, along with new ones, aimed at the new sub-variants: BA.4 and 5, which have been camping for a long time in said country, causing approximately 70% of infections, and in turn, of BA.2 origin.
In other words, since we have been under this “curse” since 2020, in the field of Laboratories, we yearn for the discovery of the so-called “master formulas”, capable of providing broader and more lasting protection and reducing infections, since Unfortunately, we do not see a close solution to the problem.
One more example that the pathogen makes no distinctions is witnessed by the relapse of President Bidden, treated with the antiviral Paxlovid in the initial phase of contagion, like his predecessor Trump.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA official body) continue to recommend that those patients who at some point suffered from COVID-19, and take said medication, or not, adopt the subsequent recommended measures consisting of the well-known isolation during at least 5 days and the use of a mask for 10, and subsequent verification at home, assume these precautions.
while in Spain
Regarding the use of said antiviral in Spain, according to the Catalan press, Minister Darias signed last March the acquisition of 344,000 treatments to be distributed in different phases, delivering the initial delivery of some 2,000 in different locations of said Autonomous Region.
The amount that SANIDAD would have to pay would amount to about 680 euros for 30 pills, which make up a complete 5-day treatment.
Also in Spain according to Medical Writing, and like THE SUB VARIANT BA5, Ómicron, is present in 95% of new infections.
According to the latest Health data as of 08.02.2022, almost 20,000 new cases of contagion have been detected, more than 50% in those over 60 years of age.
Regarding the average incidence during 14 days with these characteristics, it represents a reduction from 558.27 to 475.95 in a period of 14 days.
The deaths amount to 273, an oscillating figure, but considered high.
Finally, according to RTVE, the marketing of the Spanish vaccine produced by a Catalan pharmaceutical company is scheduled for autumn, with expectations of 250 million doses. We look forward to your successful contribution to the vaccine heritage.
