This only thing could prevent a second wave of coronavirus, say experts
According to a new study, a resurgence of CVIV-19 cases could be stopped with a simple tactic.
The very contagious nature of Covid-19 has made its propagation notoriously difficult to control. And as a search on exactlyHow the virus is transmitted continues to ride, many medical experts are convinced that there will beAt least two waves Coronavirus infection before a vaccine can be developed and widely distributed. But a recent study found that a simple thing is essential to avoid a second devastating tip in business:get as many people as possible to put a face mask-Even a simple homemade.
WhileFace coatings have been recommended Through the disease control and prevention centers (CDC) since the first weeks of the pandemic, many officials have always thought that locks alone would help reduce new cases of coronaviruses. However, a recently published modeling study from the University of Cambridge and the University of Greenwich found thatStaying at home orders alone will not slow down the propagation of the virus Enough to avoid overvoltage in new cases if facial masks are not included as a control measure.
Researchers even say homemade masksRadically cut transmission rate If sufficiently the public adopts them, whether symptomatic or not. Scientists' models have found thatUsing 100% mask In combination with an occasional stay at home and closed orders would suffice to stop any resurgence for 18 months, which is theWindow needed to develop a work vaccine.
"Our analyzes support theImmediate and universal adoption of facial masks by the public, "the main author of the study,Richard Stutt, MD from the University of Cambridge told Science Focus. "If generalized use of the face mask by the public is combined with physical distancing and a little locking, it can offer an acceptable way of managing the economic activity of the pandemic and reopening long before there isA work vaccine.

Another researcher even suggested ways to convince the canned mask managers to finally put one on. "There is aCommon perception that wearing a face mask means that you consider other a danger "John Colvin, PhD, co-author and professor of the University of Greenwich, told science. "In fact, wearing a mask, you mainly protect others from yourself. Cultural and dead problems can prevent people from carrying face masks. The message must be clear:" My mask protects you, your mask Protect me. "And for more information on a second wave of Covid-19, consultHere's how the second wave of coronavirus could be even worse.
