Ongoing research. A more effective response Another important possibility is that the public health system response by African countries, prepared by previous experiences (such as outbreaks or epidemics), was simply more effective than in other parts of the world in controlling transmission. However, in Kenya it is estimated that the epidemic reached its peak in July, with around 40% of the population in urban areas infected. A similar picture is emerging in other countries. This implies that the measures implemented had minimal results in viral transmission, although it raises the possibility that herd immunity now plays an important role in limiting transmission.
Additionally, there is another important possibility: the idea that viral load (the number of particles transmitted to a person) is a key determinant of severity. It has been suggested AOL Email List that masks reduce viral load and that their widespread use may limit the chances of developing serious illness. While the WHO recommends wearing masks, compliance is uneven and lower in many European countries compared to many parts of Africa. Is Africa, then, free from suspicion? Obviously not. There is still a lot of virus left and we do not know what may happen with the advancement of the interaction between the virus and people.
Still, one thing is clear: the side effects of the pandemic will be a real challenge for Africa. We are referring to the severe disruptions to economic and social activities, and the potentially devastating effects of the reduction of care services that protect millions of people, such as routine vaccinations and malaria, tuberculosis and tuberculosis control programs. HIV. Research agendas Among the main implications of the new landscape is the need to reassess African research agendas related to COVID-19. While many of the originally identified priorities remain in place, their relative importance has likely changed. The key is to deal with problems as they are now and not as they were imagined six months ago. The same goes for public health policies.
