I am a doctor and ask you not to go now

We are not in a place in this pandemic to discuss the authorization of indoor gatherings.


Pandemic fatigue is real. If you read this, you have survived the worst year of humanity for one hundred and hundred years. With political changes and less gas gases, we legitimately deserve a break in mental health. The very positive news of havingThree other new vaccinesIn the United States, we have all the Perky again, but we are not yet out of the wood. Read what you need to know to stay safe - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Without signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Our number one priority should prevent new infections

Johnson & Johnson, Novavax and Astrazeneca are likely to receive an emergency authorization from the FDA for theirVaccines against COVID. Nevertheless, we must do more than vaccinate people.

Working parents are not looking forward to getting their children at school. Some of us want to enjoy a nighttime on Valentine's Day. More than anything, we have social creatures like going out with our friends and see the family without the journey of guilt that goes with it. But newCOVID The variants have had American scientists concerned and it is my duty to make sure you also understand.

The vaccines are our ticket from this deadly pandemic, but we need to prevent new viral mutations. Viruses tend to mutate, and they do it when they infect new brilliant and healthy people. We clearly need theCOVID working group Become serious on genomic surveillance. To date, we do not know all the variants that attack the Americans and the way we are well prepared in our fight against them.

I would like to see the Biden administration create a genome sequencing team, looking for the genome of at least 5% of all cases in each state. In this way, we would have more visibility on what's really going on with these new mutations. It will take some time until we reach 70% of the Americans vaccinated. Nevertheless, we must now develop multivalent vaccines, which means they can protect with more than one strain of the same disease. Which is a steep challenge, and some scientists are already concernedthat Covid can become super-influenza. Personally, I do not think it's still the case, but our number one priority should prevent new infections. Vaccines available in the United States are sufficient to prevent hospitalizations and deaths - for now. But there is no reason to be sure that it will remain like that forever because the coronavirus mutate.

Please do not go to indoor gatherings

We have more than100,000People tested positive for coronavirus every day. This opens a wide range of possibilities for new mutations. I'm afraid if we do not take action, we will be in this "opening and closing business" loop very long.

We are not in a place in this pandemicDiscuss the authorization of interior gatherings. Allow people to gather inside consists of putting their health in danger. New strains can escape the immune response to the treatment of antibodies. Our number one priority, more than vaccination of people, prevents new cases. We must avoid new strains, new mutations and do it effectively. We must stop the propagation of the virus, containing new cases. Interior environments are the easiest way to get the virus; Avoid inside, wear a mask and once you are able to get a vaccine to go.

This virus will multiply and spread, stop it. Our chance to recover our social life is to do our part. Hide, do not share your air.

Follow the fundamentals of public health and help put an end to this thrust, no matter where you live:facial mask, the social distance, avoiding big crowds, do not go inside with people you do not go with (especially in the bars), practice good hygiene of the hand, vaccinate yourself when it is Available for you and protect your life and life of your life. others, do not visit any of these35 places you are most likely to catch Covid .
