Jakarta, INDONEWS.ID – Scientists call the 2019 corona virus disease or covid-19, which has been known as a pandemic since its appearance, is a syndrome.
A syndrome is an attempt to unite synergy and a pandemic. It is called a syndrome when two or more diseases interact.
As a result, this syndrome could have a more damaging effect than the number of victims of either disease. An example of this syndrome is a combination of COVID-19 with diabetes, cancer, and also the heart.
The editor-in-chief of the scientific journal The Lancet, Richard Horton said syndemics are characterized by biological and social interactions between conditions and circumstances, interactions that increase a person’s vulnerability to harm or worsen their health outcomes.
“Approaching COVID-19 as a syndrome will invite a bigger vision, which includes education, jobs, housing, food and the environment,” he said. *
