It seems that the world is facing a new wave of Corona virus. More than three years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many hoped that we had witnessed the last of the major outbreaks, the reality is that we are facing another wave.
The good news is that the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC) estimates that 97 percent of people (in the US) have some immunity through vaccinations against COVID-19 or infection, or both. Which may apply to other countries.
“At this point, the risk is lower because of our prior immunity, both for severe outcomes and for long-term Covid,” said Dr. Megan Raney, an emergency physician and dean of the Yale School of Public Health.
However, she pointed out that “Covid is still more dangerous than influenza, but its level of severity has become lower.” She indicated that we are still very early in our human experience with the Corona virus, as after three years and more have passed since its outbreak, we still do not know information about it. “However, it is expected to behave like other respiratory viruses in terms of seasonality and high number of infections,” she added.
She explained that the situation with him is just like the flu. Corona virus is expected to cause diseases. As with influenza, this means that some COVID-19 illnesses will be severe enough to require hospitalization and even death. However, expectations of an increase in the size of the infection and its decline to some extent do not allow us to neglect “Covid 19”. According to what was published by the American (NBC News) website.
The newest variant of Covid has been named (BA.2.86). It was newly detected in Denmark and Israel, according to the CDC, which said the variant was notable because it has multiple genetic differences from previous variants of the virus. Several cases have been identified in the United States.
So far, current diagnostic tests and drugs used to treat COVID-19 appear to be effective with (BA.2.86).
COVID-19 test
There are no real changes to the way we test for coronavirus (COVID-19). People can use the rapid test at home. If your test result is positive, you can be confident that the result is accurate and reliable. However, a negative test may not be reliable because rapid tests are less likely to detect the virus than the more reliable PCR tests.
“To be confident that you do not have COVID-19, the FDA recommends two negative tests for people with symptoms, or three tests for those without symptoms, done 48 hours apart,” the CDC states.
isolation period?
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC), if you test positive but don’t develop any symptoms, you must self-isolate for five days and can return to work or school on the sixth day. The CDC recommends wearing a high-quality face mask when socializing for three days after returning to work or school unless you tested negative twice within 48 hours after a five-day isolation.
If you test positive and have symptoms, you can leave your home five days after your fever is over (without using any fever-reducing medication) and then you must wear a quality mask for three days.
Recommendations
Here are some other general recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC):
Get COVID-19 vaccinations, as recommended.
Stay home if you are sick.
Take a coronavirus test, if necessary.
Seek treatment if you are injured and at risk of severe illness.
Wear a good quality mask.
-wash your hands
Good ventilation of the house.
As for treatments, the CDC recommends that you contact your healthcare provider right away to determine the best treatment.

Goats frolicking in Wales
When people are gone, goats come to frolic in the cities. In the Welsh coastal town of Llandudno, the empty streets have led to a herd of wild Kashmiri goats roaming the town undisturbed. And in the absence of humans, another benefit for the goats is that it allows them to enjoy their favorite meal: hedges around buildings!

In Thailand, the streets of Lopburi city witnessed wars between groups of monkeys caused by food. The decrease in the number of tourists in the country led to a shortage of food for the monkeys, prompting the hungry animals to invade the city streets and fight for food.

Fresh air in Kathmandu
Unfortunately, the absence of humans in the past period showed that their presence was not always a good thing for the Earth. The capital of Nepal is one of the most polluted cities in the world due to the influx of tourists every year. As for the social isolation measures and the almost complete suspension of transportation in the city, the air quality has improved significantly.

The weather in Germany has improved
In Germany, too, emissions of greenhouse gases, which cause environmental pollution, have decreased. As the lack of movement of cars, the flight of planes, and the lack of work in factories led to a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions, which may lead to Germany reaching its climate goal that it set for the year 2020, in the event that the situation does not return to the way it was before.

When a gondola wears a cap
Quiet returns to Venice, Italy. The city’s water channels, which are usually bustling with tourists all year round, have become completely empty, making the water clearer and the bottom can be seen. A city spokesperson told CNN that the reason for this is not only the improved water quality, but also the lack of boat traffic that stirs up sediment from the bottom, making the water murky.

End of the environment break
Despite the continued social isolation and the restriction of production movement in most cities of the world, things are beginning to return to normal in China, as we can see in the battery factory shown in the picture in the eastern city of Anhui. Despite the origin of the Corona virus in China, the numbers indicate that it has passed the peak of the pandemic, which means that things will return to what they were before, to end with this resting environment from human activities.
