What are the most effective methods for controlling parasites in aquaculture operations, and what are the potential risks and benefits of each method?
In your opinion, which country is most successful in control over COVID-19 spread so far? Please share the reasons in favor of your choice.
Is the new strain of corona virus susceptible to heat? Skimming the map supplies the idea that it is, and many unpublished research suggest that heat might slow down the virus.
If so why raising temperature indoors to say around 30 C or more is not among the WHO recommendations to cut down possible transmission of this virus indoors?
For instance in Iraq people set their AC up to 30 C at winter, even though the winter season in Iraq is not that cold. I heard that people in NY and other places set their indoor temperature to around 21 C while they are living in a rather harsh winter season, 21 C seems to be a very nice temperature level for the virus to thrive on surfaces indoors, or even to be transmitted through air indoors, and thereby easing its transmission.
To re-iterate my question:
Why the WHO and other CDC services are not advocating setting temperature indoors to 30 C or higher coupled with increasing hydration and frequent drinking of water and liquids to keep the throat moist, at least in cold places that are hit hard by the virus?
Over the past 6 months, the number of patients with Covid -19 in China has not increased , but the number of patients in other countries to rise, . What do you think about this? What is the reason?
I'm wondering if the common understanding of health project managers about the vector borne diseases is global issue why they deal with it locally, although that will not fix it at all, because even if we thought it disappear it's going to re emerge soon.
I believe that keeping children out of daycare or school to reduce risk of infection may actually leave them more vulnerable if they are exposed. However, I can't back up this idea with research or prove that it is true. Is it true? Is there research to support this idea? Many children with disabilities have some degree of immune compromise or increased susceptibility. Might this also be true for children with weak immune systems?
NCDs already disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries where nearly 80% of NCD deaths – 29 million – occur. They are the leading causes of death in all regions except Africa, but current projections indicate that by 2020 the largest increases in NCD deaths will occur in Africa.
For controlling an H1N1 epidemic it is necessary to prevent every chance of contracting infection. Generally we isolate confirmed suspected cases (the patients whose samples are under lab process and have symptoms like swine flu), but not the contacts of the suspected case.
