The corona virus pandemic is challenging governments and citizens. But there is also news that is positive.

  • China has not reported any new Covid 19 cases for the second day in a row.
  • A message from Germany also gives hope.
  • So far, there have been relatively few fatal Covid 19 courses nationwide.
  • Of 254,653 reported Covid-19 infections, 87,351 people are considered to have recovered. They had completely recovered from the Sars CoV-2 infection. And there is more information that is positive.

    No new infections in China, relatively few deaths in Germany

    China reported no new infections nationwide for the second day in a row. This does not apply to returnees: As the world reported, 34 new “imported cases” were registered, that is, diseases that were detected in people entering China. The population is nevertheless relieved of the success that the strict exit bans and quarantine measures have brought them. Of 81,250 infected people in China, 71,266 people are considered healthy again.

    In Germany, younger people are more often infected with Sars-CoV-2

    The virus has been spreading in Germany for around two weeks. In 18,361 cases reported since then, 52 deaths occurred, especially within the risk groups *. A small number compared to other countries, So far, more than eight percent of those affected have died in Italy, and around 0.3 percent of Covid 19 patients died in Germanyas reported by the Tagesschau. Why the numbers differ so drastically is still being investigated. One explanation could be that more older people were infected with the virus in Italy: on average, Italian patients were 63 years old, in Germany 47 years.

    However, severe courses are also observed in younger people. In order to slow down the spread as much as possible, the Federal Government calls on social contacts to be avoided as far as possible and work from home if possible.

The aggressive avian flu virus of the H5N1 subtype belongs to the group of influenza A viruses, as do the numerous human flu viruses. The virus is spherical, its diameter is only 0.1 thousandths of a millimeter. Inside there is only room for a few proteins and the genetic material.
