As per the UN trade report, the world economy will go
into recession this year with a prediction of trillion dollars due to the Corona pandemic. Before that
what is a recession, In terms of economics a recession is a business cycle contraction where there is
a decline in economic activity. As a result
of this, the consequences may be unemployment, social effects, and business
failures. But the report expects the recession in developing countries like China and India will be less. The report does not give detailed
information on how China and India will be expected from the economic crisis.
A health condition that may be a risk of death from the
coronavirus.
According to the patient's report from Italy, 76.1%
of patients had hypertension or blood pressure.
How this is related to COVID-19?
Researchers assume
that people with heart issues may have
weak immune system and this COVID-19 affects the lung that may indirectly
affect the heart as well. This coronavirus could have a negative effect on
those with a plaque in their arteries.
Diabetes was the second most common condition, some viruses thrive on
higher blood glucose levels and patients had a weak immune system too.
About one-quarter people had atrial Fibrillation. What is Atrial
Fibrillation?, According to the American Heart Association, it is defined as an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke,
heart failure and blood clots.
Do Cancer patients do get affected?
Yes, About 20% of Italy patients had active cancer in the past five years are been infected with COVID-19.
Cancer treatment can impair the respiratory system and reduces the immune
levels.
Patients with Lung Diseases such as chronic
emphysema and bronchitis are weaker. COVID-19 causes inflammation in the lungs
lining and irritation in the nerve around them. It may also cause inflammation in
the air sacs that can lead to pneumonia
( lungs filled with fluid). This pneumonia prevents the lungs from getting enough
oxygen into the bloodstream.
What about Asthma patients?
People with moderate to severe conditions may have a high risk of getting sick. This COVID-19
affects the respiratory tract that causes an asthma attack and may lead to
pneumonia and acute respiratory disease.
Is Cigarette smokers are more prone to COVID-19 infection?
Yes, tobacco has a huge impact on respiratory health.
It is also a factor of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ( COPD). Smoking
is considered to be a risk for any lower respiratory
tract infection.
Dementia, it doesn’t increase the risk of COVID-19,
but the characteristics of the people are
being changed. In this list of medical illnesses, chronic liver disease was the
least common among the report. People
with liver transplants will be undergoing immunosuppressing medications.
U.S Scientists expect that Bacillus Calmette – Guerin ( BCG) vaccine administered to millions of Indians children after birth to protect against tuberculosis. This has been found to be a game-changer against COVID-19. But it is too early to say anything, BCG vaccine is the live weakened form of Mycobacterium bovis(causative agent of TB) in cattle. BCG vaccine has quite effective against SARS infection.
