Wearing a mandatory mask you can control the pandemic COVID-19.Одягаючи обов'язкову маску, ви можете контролювати пандемію COVID-19

 


By Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida.

Like the goddess Pallas Athenaeus, goddess of wisdom, gave Perseus magic weapons to cunningly defeat Medusa who turned the men who approached her to look at her into stone statues, COVID-19 can be controlled through a policy Mandatory regarding the use of masks.

The deadly rays that came out of the eyes of Medusa, a Greek myth in whose head snakes nested like a crown, blinded her when they were reflected by the shield that Pallas Athena, The Owl, had given him to protect herself and by means of this cunning he was able to cut off her head with his sword to the unbeatable monster.

Cuba has controlled the pandemic with the mandatory mask.





The mask does not reflect as a "magic" Perseus's shield the new coronavirus, brother of the cold and flu coronaviruses, but it prevents all of them from entering the nasopharyngeal system to a great extent,  so of that if we have a prolonged exposure to an infected person in 95% of cases we will be asymptomatic or maybe nothing happens.  

If we keep our distance, it is most likely that we will not get sick with the mask and the eyes protected by goggles over the glasses, if possible, especially in case we are in closed spaces and pretty close to a full of people such as happens when we are shopping in supermarkets.


The absence of state policies based on medical opinions from the Florida health community has led us all to a dead end that is evident in the headlines of the Sarasota Herald Tribune today ( And the number of doctors who have died in the first line of contagion ) , if we read the newspaper today we will find that we are going towards an economically hopeless situation for the chain of small and medium businesses that are already feeling the crisis forced to close and in some sectors that have begun to cut hours of work, such as the plastic packaging factories due to the low demand.

Medical experts warn that COVID-19 figures are higher than seen in May

Infectious disease expert from the University of Miami Lilian Abbo, warned that the coronavirus figures are not "as good" as those seen in May before the first reopening.

It is evident that 90 miles from our coasts Cuba has controlled the pandemic that now treats as an epidemic with outbreaks applying medical opinions as state policies, the result is obvious if we consider that in eleven million inhabitants only about 256 children were infected of which none have died to date.

21 hours ago -  Eight children under the age of 18  years old  have died of the virus in  Florida .

In Florida, where the mask is not mandatory, nor the quarantines necessary to tackle the crisis on time, a six-year-old girl died a few days ago, we have 47,489 children under 18 infected with COVID-19 and 600 hospitalized at this time.A number still undetermined and that the Florida press does not clarify every day, has unfortunately passed away.


The poet Edgar Alla Poet knew how to tell us all that science is an inexorable fact that escapes any human pretension to believe in ideal worlds that, although they belong to the culture of a Nation, do not decide their ideological prevalence, nor is science subject to concepts morals of periods onto what is and is not politically correct.

Sonnet - To Science

Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art!
   Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes.
Why preyest thou thus upon the poet’s heart,
   Vulture, whose wings are dull realities?
How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise,
   Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering
To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies,
   Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing?
Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car,
   And driven the Hamadryad from the wood
To seek a shelter in some happier star?
   Hast thou not torn the Naiad from her flood,
The Elfin from the green grass, and from me
The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree?

Підсумок

Кожен пацієнт потребує окремої оцінки з урахуванням індивідуальних клінічних та лабораторних критеріїв, а також епідеміологічних та соціальних. Китайські протоколи говорять так: ¨ у пацієнта більше 3-х днів спостерігалося незмінне дихання, ясна свідомість, невпливова мова, нормальне харчування та нормальна температура тіла; Зображення легенів демонструють значне поліпшення, і два послідовні тести на нуклеїнову кислоту були негативними »(4). Подальше спостереження є обов'язковим, оскільки пацієнти, які одужали від COVID-19, можуть залишати постійні ушкодження легенів, зокрема легеневий фіброз.




Summary
Each patient requires a particular evaluation considering individual clinical and laboratory criteria, as well as epidemiological and social ones. Chinese protocols put it this way: ¨the patient has had unaltered breathing, clear consciousness, unaffected speech, normal diet and normal body temperature for more than 3 days; lung images show significant improvement, and two consecutive nucleic acid tests have been negative ”(4). Follow-up is mandatory as patients who have recovered from COVID-19 may be left with permanent damage to their lungs, specifically pulmonary fibrosis.


Resumen

Cada paciente requiere una evaluación particular considerando criterios individuales de tipo clínicos y laboratoriales, así como epidemiológicos y sociales. Los protocolos chinos así lo expresaban: ¨el paciente ha tenido una respiración no alterada, conciencia clara, habla no afectada, dieta normal y temperatura corporal normal durante más de 3 días; las imágenes de pulmón muestran una mejora significativa;y dos pruebas consecutivas de ácido nucleico han sido negativas¨ (4). El seguimiento es mandatorio pues los pacientes que se han recuperado de COVID-19 pueden quedar con un daño permanente en sus pulmones, en específico con fibrosis pulmonar.
