Corona test kit shortage in US, National Guard deployed in California

Eight and a half million new cases of corona in the US, two thousand deaths

Former Prime Minister of Nepal Prachanda's Corona test positive in Corona in France

Children at risk of corona infection have an increased risk of diabetes: a study

WASHINGTON: As the Corona epidemic intensifies in the US, so do the problems. The state of California has reported more than 100,000 new cases of corona and 181 deaths, while the state is facing a shortage of corona virus test kits. The number of corona patients admitted to the hospital has doubled in a fortnight.

People are getting frustrated due to non-availability of test kits or delay in getting test results. A doctor at Stanford University said that if a test kit is not available, many people who have mild symptoms go to work believing that they are not infected.

But if you don't get tested, you don't get the facility to be quarantined. And people go out and infect others. Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals in California. In many places people had to wait in line for hours for the test.

Governor Gavin Newsom said more than 200 National Guards have been deployed at 40 locations. Which assists clinical staff and keeps people in check. Test results often take up to nine days, which is why some people start paying ૦૦ 100 to get results early.

Meanwhile, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say children who recover from a corona infection have a higher risk of developing diabetes one or two. Other studies have shown that adults who recover from a corona infection have a higher risk of developing diabetes.

The New York Times reports that the incidence of diabetes in children has increased since the onset of the epidemic in Europe. The CDC study examined the database of large insurance claims and found out how many children under the age of 18 have been diagnosed with diabetes. The researchers used two databases for this study

In one database, children over the age of 18 had diabetes for more than a year, while in another database, the database of children with and without diabetes was checked before and after March 1. In the UK, 1,2,20 new cases of corona were reported and 4 people died. In France, too, there were 2,3,813 new cases of corona, with 18 deaths.

Eight and a half million new cases of corona were reported in the USA and more than two thousand people died. The death toll in the corona worldwide is approaching 3 million. In the UK, a third dose of the corona vaccine protects the elderly from hospitalization, and government advisers have recommended not giving a fourth dose.

People over the age of 5 years after taking the third dose were found to have 90 per cent protection against hospitalization even after three months. The vaccination committee asked the government to focus on giving a third dose to as many people as possible instead of giving a fourth dose.

Former Prime Minister of Nepal Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda has contracted corona and is moving to isolation. 6-year-old Prachanda and his personal secretary Ramesh Malla also contracted corona. Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the leader of the Communist Party of Nepal, also contracted corona and has been undergoing isolation for 15 days.

Those who recover from corona are three to five times more likely to be infected with omikron

Patients who have recovered from a corona infection will be three to five times more likely to be re-infected with omikron than Delta, according to the World Health Organization.

Hans Cluj, regional director of Hoona Europe, said the Omicron variant could decipher the earlier prevalence of immunity in humans. Those who have been infected with corona in the past, those who have not been vaccinated, and those who have been vaccinated several months ago may be infected with Omicron. Three things urgently need to be done to prevent Omicron cases from escalating.

One, getting vaccinated, two, preventing the spread of more infections and equipping the health system to deal with three more cases. For the first time this week, the number of corona cases in Europe has crossed one million in a single week. Currently, one in five health workers suffers from depression caused by the epidemic. Which is a matter of concern.
